45 private acres on our homestead for you to roam. Seven 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. Featuring: * Two gorgeous waterfalls. Each of our stay-sites are located within about 100-150 yards of Fifty-foot tall Miller’s Falls. * A large cave at the end of a short, but rugged hike. * A fairy Village filled with Hollow Oak Tree Fairy homes. The trees 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. It's the Village 2.0 for guests. Or not. Life in the city is OK as long as you can get away frequently. I'm convinced if you love nature and the outdoors, this is the best place to celebrate it.

Glamper on Miller’s Falls
AN AMAZING TIME
Everything I needed. I’m usually a primitive camper, but the glamper tent setup was perfect. It took the stress away of having to put everything together. It’s build almost in a way in which you feel like you put it together yourself. From the perfect cooking setup to the extra spices and coffee available for use. Grant was an amazing host. Anything we needed he was no more than a knock or call away. He’s extremely nice and knowledgeable. And of course he throws in some humor which is always nice. He makes you feel as if you’ve known him for some time. Our view was everything and more. It’s one of those ( pictures don’t do it justice ) moments. I’ve never used this app and I was wanting to book a random camping trip and somehow I came across the app. One of the first places I came across was grants property and I can say I will definitely be returning. I took a hike down along the creek and it was beautiful. It does involve a little sweat but it’s worth every step. Another beautiful site was the luminous trees as you take an evening stroll through his property. Grant was also very nice in the aspect as he did not rush us out. I got in on a Tuesday and unfortunately on Wednesday we had rainfall which prevented a day hike. But staying nice and warm, playing card games and listening to music isn’t to bad is it? Thursday rolled around and I had previously asked him about if we needed to be up and out at 10 as directed through the app. With no bookings coming In, he said no rush.

Glamping tent: a lovely getaway!
This trip was incredible! Grant and Becky are so kind, and their land is breathtaking. This little oasis truly does offer all the perks of nature in the seclusion from the city if you need a getaway with good company and great hosts. Grant helped me check in and gave me all the tips and tricks of the land, and even some of its fun unique features. It's super inviting and relaxing, and if you need anything during your stay, Grant and Becky are quick to help.

Wonderful Experience
I would highly recommend staying at The Falls of Sewanee Creek. Grant and Becky were phenomenal hosts. They went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable. We really enjoyed getting to know them. My husband and I were blown away by the cabins and beautiful nature. We went on a weekend that is was raining so thankfully we got to see the waterfall. It was one of the most breathtaking views I have ever seen. The cabin we were staying in felt so private and quiet which we loved. I also would highly recommend taking a welding class! It was so much fun learning how to do something new. We will definitely be back.

Heating, water, and cleanilness. Allergies were awful due to cat or dog hair on all furniture, including bedding. Had to go by new linens for all beds.
