Accommodates 2. Pretty steep 200 yd uphill hike to hut. Perfect for relationship getaway, spiritual retreat, or writing - planning intensive. Nationally-known spelunking (Indian Grave Point Cave) within 1/2 mile. 3 miles from Center Hill Lake. Hiking trails. Experience our alternative lifestyle with owner built solar log home, organic gardens and sculpture studio. Guests must arrive before dark to ensure finding correct address (GPS errs at last moment) and to facilitate hike up to hut. Potable water, trash disposal, and a toilet are available on site.

I can not recommend this place enough. William is a gracious host. He made sure I had enough wood for the wood stove and spring water to drink. If you are anywhere close and want a totally unique experience check this place out."Enjoy complete privacy in a cozy forest retreat hut in a beautiful hollow in Middle Tennessee.

    I had a wonderful weekend at the cabin! Needed a quiet getaway in nature and it was exactly that. Beautiful place that nurtured my creative soul. Also really enjoyed meeting William— very kind person and fantastic artist.
