Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

Dreamy place. The waterfall lulled us to sleep every night. Our dwelling, The Beech Tree House, was a hand built repurposed tree house with all the comforts of home. We saw wildflowers, wildlife and Luna moths… and rumor has it there are fairies living there too!

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

Beautiful views and very private, a fun drive in on their land, I’ll definitely be coming back!

They are so so sweet! Mar taught me how to cook on a blackstone! They made sure we had an amazing stay and we had everything we needed. Plus their two pups made sure we were good as well! Thanks for everything!

Weekend Trip to Awakening Adventures

This place is AMAZING. The land is beautiful. The outdoor kitchen has everything you could need. The treehouse showers were my favorite. I hope I get the chance to come back again! Thank you!

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

This is a really beautiful property, very peaceful and lots of great options for camping in unique facilities. Host was very responsive and facilities are in great shape!

2 nights at The Falls at Sewanee Creek

Me and my son had so much fun on this trip. It was a little cold but we made it through. And we enjoyed cooking out over the charcoal/wood grill. And an amazing view of the water fall near by. We loved are stay and would come back again. Thank you for the stay Grant.

3 nights at The Falls at Sewanee Creek

This was our second time staying on Grants beautiful property in the mountains of Tracy city! It seems to get better every time we visit. We brought our 8 month old son, Arlo, and it was his very first camping trip!! Grant and his wife are such genuine and kind people, they truly go out of their way to make your experience special and memorable. The property could be a state park itself, we spent several hours exploring the mountainside and admiring Miller Falls. Our campsite was huge, clean, and perfectly situated to view the sunset. This won’t be our last time camping on Grants property, and we so look forward to returning!

3 nights at The Falls at Sewanee Creek

Beautiful spot with plenty of space to yourself and a short walk to the waterfall. Grant was accommodating and puts a lot of effort into making this an awesome place to stay

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

Our stay was short, but our experience was great! We stayed in the Beech Treehouse where we were very cozy sleeping through a thunderstorm. The waterfall sang to us all night and was a spectacular sight in the morning. Around the treehouse grounds we enjoyed seeing toads, turtles, squirrels and birds, birds, birds. The treehouse itself is well appointed and the hospitality of hosts Grant and Becky made our little overnight a joy.

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

We stayed at the Outdoor Kitchen + Yurtle with a group and had a wonderful time. The waterfall is a short walk to feel like you’re in another world! We will definitely be back and hope to try out Grant’s other creative structures.

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

Becky and Grant have a beautiful piece of land and are incredible hosts. They truly want you to have the best time on their property and are there to help you with anything you could want/need. It’s obvious they genuinely love the company of others and that they enjoy sharing their land for others to enjoy. Words simply cannot do this place justice and we loved exploring it. We will be back soon!

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

Super good hosts. Loved the kitchen for sitting around and having meals together. Came primarily to hike the nearby “Fiery Gizzard” trail from end to end. Plenty of room for several tents. The waterfall close by on the property was a plus.

Weekend Trip to CrowMocker Cabins And Camping

Loved the land and have been multiple times. The hosts are fantastic and attentive people. A lot has gone into the land. Rich history as well. This is a great place to overland if you love your 4x4 like we do and want to use it. Shuttle up the mountain if you do not have the capability. 10 out of 10!

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

We had an amazing time in the Beech Treehouse! Becky checked us in and showed us around + gave us an overview of the trails. Their private waterfall was beautiful, and we loved exploring the stream with our dogs. The porch built into the treehouse was such a serene spot to have our morning coffee and evening dinners. Cosy bed, well-stocked camp kitchen, clean hot shower, this really is "glamping" at it's core! Nice that there is a grocer about 9 min away for anything we forgot. And a few more restaurants in Monteagle about 20 min away, even more if you go to sewanee. 10/10 and will definitely return!

Weekend Trip to Spacious Skies Belle Ridge

would highly recommend was very clean and had some fantastic activities with a fishing hole only a short hike from the playground and a beach tho was to cool for us to swim this time very pretty

Weekend Trip to CrowMocker Cabins And Camping

Absolutely wonderful spot tucked away in the mountains. Rich history of the land. 4x4 required and if you overland like us the access trail will make you smile the whole way. One of the coolest spots we have been. Tab and Sarah were amazing people. Lifted 2021 Ram Warlock made it just great with no scratches. Big truck on trails of course but ready to do it again. Lots of hiking trails to who knows where and some great off roading and camping. There is an actual bar/stage completely off grid back there too. So cool!

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

This is a great camping spot! We chose the primitive camping site and it was exactly what we wanted. Private, far from other guests, and plenty of room to roam and explore. I was a little worried about the road accessing the site, but we made it in a fairly low cross-over SUV without any problems (in dry weather). The property is amazing and has an easily accessible waterfall that rivals many state parks! Grant is a great host and welcomed us on arrival, showed us to our site, and told us about the property and the area. Great communication throughout booking, checking if everything was okay, and on checkout. I definitely expect we will be back soon!

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

My partner and I loved camping on Grant and Becky's land in the Trampease Tree tent this past weekend. You could tell they really put a lot of thought into this setup as it had everything that we needed. Grant and Becky met us once we arrived and showed us where our site was and the different paths to take to check out the land. They encouraged us to hike their property and we saw so many beautiful sights and sounds. They have so much to explore on their land that my partner and I already want to go back! This was my first time booking thru Hipcamp and I have already told all of my friends to check it out! Stay with Grant and Becky, you will not be disappointed- trust me!!

2 nights at The Falls at Sewanee Creek

Beautiful property! We enjoyed our hikes down to the falls that were so close to the treehouse! The treehouse itself was perfect!

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

I was only there for 1 night but I enjoyed my stay! Both Grant and Becky were very nice! I would definitely stay here again and hopefully next time for a much longer trip.

The Falls at Sewanee Creek

11 sites · Lodging, Tents45 acres · Tracy City, TN

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.

Welcome to our serene and rejuvenating private getaway nestled within 42 acres of forested beauty. The Sanctuary offers an unparalleled experience where nature meets comfort, allowing you and your group to unwind and reconnect with the tranquil surroundings. We have added multiple tree swings throughout the forest. We are uniquely situated on the edge of the Tennessee Cumberland Plateau and the Tennessee river valley. We are currently offering 4 treehouse dwellings to share our peaceful land full of God's promises. The dwellings are spaced far enough apart for privacy yet not to far of a walk to the common area where the kitchen and shower are. You'll be surprised at how cool the tents stay under the forest canopy in the heat of summer. Then in the colder months we have various heating options to keep you cozy in 3 of the dwellings I hope you come to share this with us, it's an amazingly peaceful area. Nearly 3 miles of hiking trails to enjoy during your visit. Take a spur trail off the main trail loop and there is a prayer shelter with a fire pit inspired by Luke 6:12 in the back corner of the property. Located at the edge of the prarie on the main trail is a sunrise/sunset/bird-watching platform that is 20 feet in the air with a 2 stage bridge to access it. We updated the outdoor kitchen with a 3 burner propane stove, propane grill and hot running water with a 3 bay sink. Other cooking options include a tripod over the fire and a charcoal grill. A short 10-minute drive to fire tower rd. brings you to a 2 mile loop trail with 2 waterfalls, Upper and Lower Piney Falls. Ozone falls is just a 20 minute drive. Then toward Spring City is Stinging Fork Falls at 25 minutes. Black mountain is my new favorite place especially the south overlook! The Hiking possibilities are nearly endless and close. I'll highlight one thru hike here since both trailheads are only 20 minutes away and is easy to coordinate with only 2 vehicles. It's a 10.2 mile hike that can be done in either direction and has a little something for everyone including a cave, boulder field, cascade and waterfall. Then you have massive Watts Bar Lake which is only 20 minutes away with a plethora of activities including the excursions we offer! We look forward to hosting you!
