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.

Treehouse Campsite

97% (196)
Treehouse · Sleeps 5
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.
