Reflection Tree Art Farm is a hidden paradise high upon Tennessee’s Cumberland Plateau. It’s a place where wide-open skies reflect every shade of blue by day and the milky way lights up the night, where rainbows arc to find their golden end, and red-orange sunsets take your breath away. It’s a birder’s dream and a dreamer’s little bit-o-heaven. The dreamers, Eric and Aimee Dixon, had a plan and were just getting started when Aimee was killed in a tragic auto accident. But Aimee’s spirit and their dreams live on and with the help of friends and family, Reflection Tree will continue to grow and bloom. Located northwest of Oak Ridge and Knoxville, we are a short drive north of Crossville, TN.

Nestled in a lovely 20-acre wood with gentle walking trails and a peaceful forest pond, your fully equipped Tentrr campsite offers everything you will need and we look forward to making your stay as carefree as possible. Your Reflection Tree experience may be a relaxing weekend camping retreat or perhaps a longer stay to enjoy some of the adventures available within easy driving distance.
Right here at Reflection Tree you may wish to participate in one of a variety of planned classes or workshops in the arts and crafts. The big red Art Barn is currently under construction. When complete, the lower floor will be equipped with a potter’s studio, blacksmith forge and woodworking shops with classes for all skill levels. For the more advanced, we will also offer day-use of the equipment.
The upper level of the Art Barn will provide additional accommodations to include 4 bedrooms, a kitchen and a full bathroom as well as indoor and outdoor spaces for large group gatherings, classes, etc. Reflection Tree Art Farm is also a chemical free, regenerative farm and will offer classes for those who wish to learn these techniques. We will have fresh seasonal foods available for the guests as well. Note: To make reservations for the Art Barn, please contact Eric directly at Reflection Tree Art Farm.

Wow. Just wow. An amazing experience. We learned so much really cool stuff about our local animals that we can't even remember it all and I have no idea how the facilitators do. The animals were amazing to see up close. The facilitators are amazing presenters and know so much that they mostly could answer any question. The drive there and the land is so beautiful. Thank you Taylor and Amy for a magical experience. 🤗💗👍 The picture of the man with the hawk is Taylor the Director of Wildlife and he is with Ember the Red Shoulder Hawk who is missing one of her wings. The picture of me in the nest is to give a size comparison of an average sized Bald Eagle Nest.
A gorgeous place to walk, run, bike, hike, and just chill. Absolutely worth a visit. They also have a nursery where you can buy native plants to bring home.
Love reflections! As a member, it’s wonderful to take the dogs on walks, go hiking, or mountain biking here! We have recently started volunteering with the weed wrangle to keep the park clean of invasive species. We stumbled upon the movie night on Friday—looked cool. Enjoyed the Get Schooled class with native animals. The red wolves are beautiful as well as the predatory birds. Great place to learn, be active, and relax. Hoping to buy some plants from the nursery this spring.
This place is a great find. Our kids, ages 3 & 6 loved it. We walked the grounds, had a wildlife tour, and visited the discovery treehouse. It was all amazing. Will definitely come back.
