Kevin is a Star Host
Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
Our pods (arched cabins) are tiny homes, well situated for both spectacular views as well as romantic privacy. Each home has an arched cabin style, cozy, yet well-appointed with a bedroom (queen bed), full bathroom, full kitchenette and living area with sofa and Roku TV. Homes are located close enough to enjoy a campfire with neighbors, but separated enough to enjoy that special romantic evening on your own large deck with spectacular views, or late at night enjoying the stars above. Each cabin has its very own fire pit. All cabins are outfitted with an outdoor hottub. Property is over 60 acres of onsite hiking trails, or find your special spot to sit and enjoy the view. We are just up the road from the Toe River. The famous Appalachian Trail is just minutes away, as are the Gem mines that made Mitchell County famous. Our property is historic and once a famous location for moonshine production, detailed in the book "Red Hill" available on Amazon. Or Google the "Bakersville Riots". Truly a place to enjoy hiking, or just relaxing on the beautiful large decks.

We traveled as a family of 4 and two dogs and we had a wonderful time at Ocean Blue cabin. Exceptional host and cabin was amazing. We had everything and more to has such a great time. Hiking trail on the property was perfect for our young kids. We took it twice and met friendly cows on top of the hill. Hot tub was a perfect spot for after hike and evening watching the stars! We will definitely come back and bring friends with us!

My wife and I loved staying in the Green cabin. The fire pit and hot tub were the best. The cabin was great. The bed was comfortable. The shower had good hot water. The first night we made steaks over a campfire with baked potatoes from the air fryer. The second night we made hot dogs and roasted marshmallows on the campfire. It was a beautiful drive from Knoxville. It was about as close to perfect as you can get. Thank you for the firewood, and thank you for having us.

We absolutely loved our stay here. All of the sites were filled during our stay, but everybody was quiet and respectful. Kevin was super helpful with anything we needed. Sitting in the hot tub at night while watching the stars was a highlight. The cabin was kept very clean, and it was stocked up with everything you’ll need. There was also tons of firewood for the fire pit. The land also had nature trails that you climb up to see a beautiful view. We’re really looking forward to coming here again!

We loved staying at the sight. Enjoyed the privacy and the view, and the hot tub. This was in spite of Mother Nature giving us rain for 3 days. Kevin went out of his way to provide us with dry wood; we just couldn't use it. The facility was clean, great condition. It was high-end and we plan to return at another time. Thanks!

Wonderful Stay, 10/10 :-)
Ocean Blue
Kevin's cabins was well stocked with all the essentials, clean, well furnished, and cozy. Great for couples! The hot tub was clean and warm upon arrival. Fire pit ready for use or cooking food over with the supplied grilling grate and fresh firewood stacked close by. Ocean Blue is a wonderful place to get away from it all for a relaxing stay. Would absolutely recommend to others.

This place is so special. I have never had a more comfortable glamping experience. The hot tub and views are just perfection. They thought of everything by including wifi and a little doggy care package. The pancake mix was such a sweet touch and made for an awesome morning. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Everything you want and much more!

The accommodations, scenery, cleanliness, host friendliness, ALL OF IT, was phenomenal! Kevin and his family keep such great care to the grounds and everything you need. Everything is there... bathroom items you never thought you needed, kitchen is fully stocked, extra blankets and pillows, plenty of firewood, hot tub cleaned and hot. I mean everything. Now the grounds... all the cabins are angled in a way that ensures privacy even in the middle units. There is no noise and the night sky is clear and dark. We saw the milky way! We loved our time so much we are headed back for our anniversary in October.

I had the best experience staying here with my dog! The cabin was spotless, cozy, and perfectly tucked away in the woods with beautiful mountain views. The hot tub was the perfect way to relax in the evenings, and the deck was a great spot to enjoy morning coffee while my pup lounged nearby. Kevin was an amazing host—super welcoming, communicative, and made sure everything about our stay was comfortable. I felt right at home and completely taken care of. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with your dog where you can relax, recharge, and enjoy nature, this is the perfect spot. I’ll definitely be back!

Amazing Little Piece of Heaven
Ocean Blue
Just an amazing and dreamy little place nestled in the mountain's. My husband and I wanted a way to disconnect for our anniversary and enjoy some peace and quiet without the kids. This was the perfect place!! This little house is so well equipped to make your weekend feel like a private spa getaway and no need for anything more. We didn’t cook while there but well equipped to do so, and everything is thoughtfully provided. There was even a bag of popcorn to pop and some pancake mix if you needed. Really sweet touches. We enjoyed the spa with wonderful views, had a beautiful bathroom to shower up after, relaxed on the deck in the comfy chairs and even took advantage of the his and hers robes which we loved. I highly recommend this place for a get away and hope to return again. The host is top notch in his communication and we really appreciated his guidance on things we were looking for in the area (ie eateries). Thanks for sharing a little peace of your property with us for our special weekend.

My girlfriend and I had a great time in Sky Blue. It was a cozy little cabin and it's a great place to go to recharge. I can't recommend this place enough to anyone looking for a scenic little spot to get away for a few days. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner and he was super nice. I definitely plan on coming back here

This is an amazing camp! You are in a private area, great for a romantic vibe, or you could have friends book the other cabins and do a friend get away. Very clean and had all the essentials that we might need. We loved the hot tub and fire pit. Kevin was also an amazing host, any questions I had he answered asap.

The stay was amazing! The cabin was the perfect size for us and the dogs! The weather was absolutely beautiful which allows us to go hiking at some nearby trails. The cabin was equipped with anything we could have needed and more. We loved the hot tub and fire pit and were able to see the stars from each spot. Definitely will be booking a stay in the Fall. Kevin the host was super nice and accommodating, got to chat with him on our last day before we left. Looking forward to our next stay!!

Anniversary weekend success!!
Ocean Blue
My husband and I just stayed here. This spot was great! Very well thought out. From providing coffee, basic toiletries, even a collagen face mask! We had all the basics we needed to cook food. Breakfast was on their electric griddle, dinner was cooked over the fire on their campfire grill. They also have a counter top toaster oven with lots of features but we didn't use it. Lots of plants to identify, forage. Cleared path to walk to the top of the mountain. The hot tub was awesome, the deck was where we hungout the most, and the firepit was great (comfy chairs too!) The privacy, ease of check in and check out and all the great touches made this a great spot for us. Cell reception is good. Internet good. We will be back!
