Weekend Trip to Luxe Tent/Private Bathhouse/Wifi/AC
This was definitely one of the best clamping experiences we have had! Alisha has thought of every detail! We loved the sink for washing dishes, the close and clean bathroom with a hot, relaxing shower, and the coffee and coffee maker for the morning. The heated blankets were a must with the weather, and helped keep us so cozy! I loved how we did not have to bring pots, pans, soap, etc making our trip so much easier to pack for. We went to the Lake Ends Restaurant which was so fun (BYOB!), hiked nearby, sat by the lake and read our books, and went on the Andrew's Valley Railroad experience. These were all so fun and relaxing! The only thing was we were very close to our neighboring glamping tent with little privacy. It would be nice to glamp with a friend in the neighboring site. Otherwise, it was such as pleasant stay, and we will definitely return!

Soooo cute! :] definitely hope to be back next time we visit the area. Everything was absolutely clean. great indoor showers, bathroom, and even laundry right by the campsite. Electric fireplace to keep warm. We even received our key to lock the door to our glamp tent. Play area for kids, pool, and a little shop.
So many of those things and more that we did not expect. It was much better than advertised. Thank you for all the attention to detail! We had a great comfy trip!

This was one of the best camp set ups we’ve been to by far. Parking is right there, great fire pit and grill set up. We had some light rain in the morning, so the covered porch was perfect while we waited it out and had our breakfast. Will definitely be coming back .

We had such an amazing time at Simply Glampin! 🌲✨
The glamping tents are beautiful — thoughtfully decorated, super comfortable beds, and all the little touches that make it feel like luxury in the middle of nature. We loved the outdoor space: a cozy firepit, decks for relaxing, and clean bathrooms with amazing showers. It was the perfect spot for us to escape the noise of everyday life while still enjoying comfort, coffee, electricity, wifi, and even coolers if needed.
The property is nice and secluded, so you really feel tucked away, but it’s also just a quick drive into Franklin, NC where we enjoyed a great dinner out. The best of both worlds!
We came here to relax, recharge, and enjoy the outdoors in style — and Simply Glampin delivered. We’ll definitely be back!
