Near Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Within a 60-minute drive from the Oconaluftee Visitor Center.
Easy to reach campsite in the woods! Fall asleep in your own tent to the soothing sound of clear mountain water rushing in nearby creek. Wake up to glorious songbirds and relax al fresco on your private patio. Campfire allowed--just be mindful that it is completely out before going to sleep or leaving the site. Camper's toilet & sink available. Will need to provide your own potable water. You will be near a small private cemetery owned by the host. Neighbors have hens close by; we ask you to keep your dog leashed. Please keep food and trash in vehicle overnight to keep wildlife away. Kindly pack out your trash (and recyclables) at the end of your stay. Only 10 minutes away from the Blue Ridge Parkway with its stunning views and scenic hiking. For that small-town fun and funky experience, head 10 minutes in the other direction to Sylva--home of microbreweries, organic farmer's market, cool shops, award-winning restaurants, and various homespun curiosities. Half hour from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Cherokee Indian Reservation, and Cherokee Casino. All-new tubing on the river only 1 mile away! Asheville is 45 minutes away. Looking forward to you relaxing & enjoying our beautiful forest!

Tent In The Trees

100%
(2)
Tent pitch · Sleeps 4
Campsite is surrounded by lovely tall trees. Your site has a fire ring, camp toilet located inside privacy tent, koi pond. Guests will enjoy 2 acres to themselves. Note that the road is on a 1 lane dead end; there is a house across the road as well as neighbors driving to get home; still the campsite is secluded. 12'x7' red mulch area to pitch your tent. The rest of the ground is covered in moss and other moisture-loving groundcover. Mechanical sink for washing hands but campers will need to bring their own drinking water. A few hundred yards away enjoy the cool mountain air on your private patio, furnished with café table and 2 chairs. Watch the creek crash and splash from fern-covered bank. When you're ready for more sunlight, spread a blanket in our small orchard, 5 minutes' walk from your camp site. Like any healthy forest, expect and be prepared for insects.

Rushing Creek Cabin

Cabin · Sleeps 4
Hear the sounds of Licklog Creek rushing over boulders and rocks. Relax among trees or on the beloved mossy garden patio. The cabin is a one room shed that can fit up to 4 people sleeping on the floor in your own sleeping bags. Behind the tri-fold privacy screen is a camping toilet and camping sink. The covered front porch has been a favorite spot for many past guests to enjoy.

Just what one needs
Rushing Creek Cabin
This was a nice quiet retreat in the woods. Just the basics of what one would need to reconnect to nature.

Rushing Creek Cabin
Perfect location for exploring the area. Only 12 mins to hop on the BRP. Very simple bare room cabin. Brought my air mattress & camp stove . Liked being in the trees. Owner is very responsive to any questions.

Tent In The Trees
A good stay. I stayed one night and easily found the campsite, fire pit, stream, and cottage w/ deck. There was room to pitch a tent, although I set up a hammock. It was a quiet night other than the occasional car passing by on the nearby gravel road up until around midnight.

Moldy and not quiet
With pets ·
Art Shack on the creek
The shack is not suitable if you’re sensitive to black mold. Also, the people across the street are inconsiderate and let their dogs continuously bark. Unfortunately, it was not what we expected. We came for peace and instead got put in a situation late in the evening trying to find another place but ended up having a sleep in our car with our children. Sandra was decent enough to offer a refund but the circumstances that she could end up putting someone else in for something that’s a health hazard is not OK. Hope this helps someone else not go through everything we had to like sleeping in a car with two children!

Tent In The Trees
We loved staying on Sandra’s meadow tent spot! Me and my boyfriend stayed one night and enjoyed the noises of the peaceful stream running near us. Such a beautiful area and very well set up for us, we had no trouble getting here with the directions provided.

Art Shack on the creek
When my camping plans got rained out, this little art shack was a great alternative that allowed me to still enjoy being in gorgeous surroundings but with the pleasure of shelter. I loved ending my night and starting my day on the sweet porch.
