Amenities
Playground
Encourage exercise and create new friendships by joining other parents and children at our community playground.
Grilling Stations
Don’t limit your culinary skills to the cabin. Step outdoors and use our community grilling stations to cook your steaks, ribs, and chicken, all while enjoying the Tennessee wilderness.
Communal Fire Pits & Garden
Making new friends shouldn’t just be for the kids at the playground. Gather around our communal fire pits or walk among our gardens and find common ground with other guests staying at the property.
Washer-Dryer
For our guests staying long-term, each cabin on the property comes equipped with a washer and dryer. Keep your clothes clean and extend your trip for as long as you’d like.
King Size Beds
Don’t compromise on comfort; enjoy luxurious king-sized beds that rival the most luxurious hotel brands. Our soft mattresses are perfect for unwinding after hiking miles along the Natchez Trace.

Nearby Attractions
Buffalo River
Enter the Buffalo River with your boat, kayak, or canoe from the easily accessible Public Access Point. Located only 15 minutes away, it’s easy to load up your entire group and have a wonderful day enjoying the water!
Nature Walk
Nearby trails allow for amazing views of birds and other species. On our property, guests are able to enjoy a guided birding tour highlighting the local aviation. If our on-site nature walk isn’t enough for you, travel to the nearby Old Natchez Trace Trail or the Laurel Hill Wildlife Management Area to explore more wildlife in a protected habitat.
Hiking
Summertown is the perfect locale for hiking enthusiasts, as we are surrounded by trails along the iconic Natchez Trace Parkway. Each trail is unique, with some featuring waterfalls and others providing iconic overlook views. Exploring Tennessee’s natural beauty is as easy as putting on your boots, sunscreen, and backpack and pulling into the trailhead parking lot.
Bicycling
The same appeal that Summertown has on hikers is equally as strong for our off-road biking enthusiasts. Each hiking trail is equipped with paths that can handle casual or high-adrenaline bikers. The roads can handle your bikes, but the real question is, can your bikes handle the bumpy Tennessee terrain?
Amish Community
Explore a way of life different from your own by interacting with the Amish community located in nearby Ethridge, Tennessee. Since 1941, the Amish community has grown within this small town to encompass over 300 families who work together to create a thriving town. The Amish welcome guests and tourists, offering tours and classes that educate outsiders on their way of life. They even offer unique souvenirs and knick-knacks you can’t find anywhere else.
Yoders Market
Our campers have access to a local market that is only two minutes east of our cabins. Yoders Market has been owned and operated by an Amish family for decades, and offers a variety of baked goods, spices, and deli sandwiches that our campers love. While staying at Cabins Off the Trace, be sure to visit this market for unique goods that are hard to find elsewhere and experience Amish hospitality firsthand.

In the other direction, located two minutes west of our cabins, is the popular Meriwether Market. This family-owned store doubles as a restaurant, offering local residents exceptional breakfast, lunch, and dinner options that are irresistible. Inside the country store is a wide selection of grocery items, outdoor gear, and snacks for your cabin adventure. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing what you need for your next adventure, stop at this market to get all of your necessities.
