45 private acres on our homestead for you to roam. Eight eclectic sites to choose from ranging from primitive camping to a lovely log cabin. All except the log cabin lovingly built by the owner, loaded with creative touches from up-purposed materials. Featuring: * Two gorgeous waterfalls. Each of our stay-sites are located within about 100 yards of Fifty-foot tall Miller’s Falls. * Two large caves at the end of a short, but rugged hike. * A fairy Village filled with Hollow Oak Tree Fairy cottages and bio-luminescent trees that glow after dark. Magical. * Three acres for group camping centered on a well-equipped, covered outdoor kitchen. * Peaceful Meditation Retreats at the Outdoor Kitchen under brain-wave enhancing satellite dishes. * Certified Hypnotherapy Disclaimer: The flow of the waterfall is subject to fluctuations in temperature, seasonal droughts, & rain fall. The most favorable seasons for waterfall flow are fall, winter & early spring. We came to this magical place to found a self-reliant, homesteading eco-community when I retired from corporate life in 2006. It's called the Village on Sewanee Creek, named for the creek 800 feet below the bluff where we are located. I traveled the world as a senior executive for Baskin-Robbins, Dunkin' Donuts, Papa Johns, Blockbuster, 7-Eleven and other retail franchises, making the world safe for Pizza, Ice Cream, Pancakes Video Rentals and American convenience. And I was ready for something more fufilling. I scouted for a place of exquisite natural beauty and I found it here. I bought way too much land just before the real estate bust and learned how to turn a nice fortune into a very small one. I faced challenges and had lots of fun. Now I want to share our experience. If you love nature and the outdoors, this is the best place to celebrate it.

Treehouse · Sleeps 5 · 1 bedroom · 3 beds · 1 toilet
Relax in the Beech Treetops on a private covered deck above a cliff, just 20 yards from the top of our magnificent, private 50-foot waterfall. Disclaimer: The flow of the waterfall is subject to fluctuations in temperature, seasonal droughts and rain fall. The most favorable seasons for waterfall flow are fall, winter and early spring. Hike miles of trails through deep canyons, caves, waterfalls, creeks and cascades right here on our property or in any of eight State Parks within 30 minutes.  It’s a nature lover’s paradise. At the end of an exciting day, chill out under the waterfall, then regroup in a hot shower under an up-purposed Satellite Dish roof.  So many creative touches to this unique treehouse! Cook a gourmet meal in the well-equipped kitchen, barbecue on the deck or do s’mores around the private fire pit. Then retire to the upstairs loft in a queen bed.  Heat provided, but you’ll want to leave the windows open for the fresh breeze and lulling sounds of the waterfall. The Beech Treehouse Sleeping Capacity is six adults with one queen sized bed In the loft, one double fold-down futon couch and an extra double mattress that can be placed on the kitchen floor.  For larger groups, call to rent Hamlin, a charming Gypsy wagon Tiny House that sleeps two.  Still more?  Bring your own tents and set up a campground.  Add additional people with additional tents for a modest fee of only $10/person/night. If you are bringing pets, just include them in your reservation as additional guests to cover the pet fee.   Nearby is another campsite centered around a large, well-furnished outdoor kitchen.  That site also includes Yurtle, (a trampoline-based tent with a hard dome roof and incredible acoustics).  But the key feature of this campsite is the kitchen, with yurtle and other amenities as added perq’s.  The Outdoor Kitchen is a must for really large groups like family reunions. The base rate for the kitchen + Yurtle covers two people.  Add $10/person/night for additional campers (including kids and dogs.)  If you have more than eight in your group, you should absolutely book the kitchen site.  It will make a huge difference in the quality of your camping experience. The Spacious outdoor covered kitchen includes a stainless 3-compartment sink with hot water, large propane grill, 3-burner propane stove and griddle, three picnic tables, and waterproof storage under roof. Pet friendly. Please book as extra for actual number of pets. Pet Fee is $10/night/pet.

Cabin · Sleeps 6 · 2 bedrooms · 2 beds · 1 toilet
nner Sanctum is your private place where you escape to find peace. The stained glass window in the loft evokes the sacred vibe. Immersed in the sounds of falling water, hoot owls and the cool breeze wafting from the canyon below. Luxuriate in Glamping at its finest. Off-grid for all utilities, but lights and fan are powered by a huge battery “generator”. If you are seeking peace in a world that has gone mad, this IS your Inner Sanctum.

Treehouse Campsite
We loved our two night stay at the Beech Tree House. The Tree House is an admirable and creative construction nestled on the edge of a cliff right next to a Beech tree. It was fun to stay on the futon bed which is under a roof but on the edge of being 'outside' - so one could listen to night sounds, watch the night sky, and drift in and out of dreams. The night sky was incredible with so many stars! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook. There was also a grill and a firepit. The shower was strong and warm. Our daughter who loves art and drawing enjoyed the sketches and paintings guests have left in the Treehouse. She added to the collection. This was our second stay at The Falls at Sewanee Creek. The first time we stayed in the Trampoline Tree Tent - also fun, but more bare bones than the Tree House. We love the grounds, the opportunity to wander down the gorge at the base of the water fall, and all of the creative dwellings and whimsical art that are around the property. Grant and Becky are fantastic and thoughtful hosts. Check in and check out was easy and quick, always coupled with an interesting conversation with Grant. We came back for a second visit because we loved everything about The Falls at Sewanee Creek, and because there are great hikes nearby with beautiful old growth forests and rock formations (check out the Fiery Gizzard Trail). Highly recommend!

Glamper on Miller’s Falls
Beautiful piece of property with multiple sites to choose from. Our site sat right along a really cool waterfall just a few steps away. Unfortunately the heat wave dried up the creek during our stay, but I can imagine how awesome it would be if it was flowing. We stayed for one night to catch a show at the Cavern. Would have loved to stay longer. Grant was great to speak with and gave us some good recommendations for food!

This is our second time staying at the Beech Treehouse. What a magical place. Its quiet, calm, a perfect place to recharge. At night, fireflies come out to light the treelines. Deer can also be sleeping in the field in front of the tree house at night. The cooking setup is quite nice also, if you want to cook your own meals. The AC in the loft is a nice touch during summer. Such a wonderful experience.

This place is the cutest! The best of both worlds for those who love camping but not necessarily tent camping. You have plumbing for a wonderful shower but then can sleep on the deck to the sounds of nature. Temps were cool enough that a fan was all you needed outside but there is no working plug once the lights are turned off as everything is connected. So a way to keep the fan running after turning off the lights would be good! We had battery operated fans thankfully. Upstairs there is air conditioner and a bed if you don’t wanna deal with sleeping with nature. Kitchen has everything you need to feed yourself and keep your drinks cold. So much to do in the area starting with the hike to the waterfall on the property and also off the property. Worth it! Esp the one off the property, name escapes me. The owners are so so kind and nice and full of great tips. They truly care about you having a nice stay! Would def stay here again. The only downside for us was the bathroom as it’s labeled compost but not truly compost. They were quick to change it out for us after the first night though so just ask! Don’t hesitate, book it!!

Grant and Becky were fabulous hosts! Even with a rainy weekend our group had an amazing time! The pictures don’t do the waterfall justice and it’s just a quick 5 minute walk from the Outdoor Kitchen/Yurtle Campground. I HIGHLY recommend booking this particular site on the property even if you’re traveling with a small crew. We had 7 campers total and really enjoyed the perks of not having to pack any cooking utensils or gear. We just popped our food in the fridge/freezer and it was perfect! Especially for trips when the weather isn’t ideal you don’t have to worry about relying on a fire for your heat source. Grant and Becky were so kind and accommodating and we are already planning our next trip! A wonderful experience all around!
