Der Horst auf der Bird Fork Farm

Unplug and unwind at the regenerative Bird Fork Farm, nestled in the serene beauty of the Cumberland Plateau. Stay in our rustic, off-grid tiny house surrounded by sounds of the farm, mountain views, peaceful nights, and beautiful stars.

Enjoy solar-powered comfort and taste the off-grid lifestyle with rainwater washing areas, a propane cooking set-up, an outdoor composting toilet and sink, fire pit, woods and a creek to explore. Just a short drive to lots of hiking, climbing, and adventuring.


This off-grid tiny house has 1 queen bed, 1 fold-down sofa/bed, and 1 twin xl bed in a loft. Hooks for a hammock are also located above the sofa bed and desk. The kitchenette contains a propane camping stove with 2 burners, some cooking utensils, and dining utensils. A tea kettle is available. The Perch is run off of solar and has electric plug ins and lights. Please avoid touching any components of the solar including the batteries. If it's chilly feel free to turn on the propane heater.

Sip your morning coffee on the front porch overlooking the neighboring valley and farm. While an outdoor shower is not available yet there is a composting toilet and handwashing station nearby. Fires in the neighboring firepit are allowed provided there isn't a drought. A public lean-to structure near the firepit is open for any desires to hang, eat, or cook under.

An outdoor bathhouse is nearby and is fueled by rainwater. No on-site shower or water is available. Please pack in what water you may need. A communal firepit and lean-to building near the tiny house is available for open use.

Guests will park in the hay field after being directed via your host on the appropriate path.

We are located close to Savage Gulf State Park and Fall Creek Falls State Park as well as many numerous climbing and swimming areas such as Woodcock Cove and the Soddy Daisy Bluehole.
