Private campsites & glamping in Bloomington Springs, TN
Bloomington Springs is an unincorporated community 15 minutes from Cookeville in the Upper Cumberland — waterfall country, with Burgess Falls, Cummins Falls, and Rock Island all within an hour. The Hideout Hotel's Amish-built treehouse and cabins sit on 20+ acres here, pairing private hot tubs and a barrel sauna with easy access to the region's cascades.
Practical notes: waterfall hikes here involve wet rock and gorge descents — Cummins Falls requires wading upstream. Check state park advisories after heavy rain, when trails and swim areas close.
