Weekend Trip to Owls nest private camp

I loved this hip camp I even extended my night an extra day! I enjoyed the water views and that it was very peaceful. It very close to Helen, Unicoi and other places to hike or explore so awesome location. I am not really sure how it’s set up though….if the lake site numbers matter or if it’s just first come first serve but I enjoyed it. The owners and other people that live on property were nice! And they have a full kitchen thats shared with the people who live there and bathrooms shared with them as well. For a campsite it’s nice amenities. Also includes free fire wood which is awesome!

Weekend Trip to Mulberry Gap - Camping & Van Stays

Mulberry is the perfect weekend getaway. Our campsite was right next to the brook with only a short walking distance to the hot tub. Staff were friendly and helpful.

A beautiful creekside camping spot, hard to beat! Thank you guys for a fabulous birthday weekend :)

Weekend Trip to Nantahala: Cabins & Campsites

Our family of 5 (two kids under 5, two adults and a dog) enjoyed our adventure on the property. We booked alongside our siblings and their family of 5. Between our large tent, gear and other family, we took up the entire space. The fire pits and tables were very helpful. We did a little research prior to our stay but could have done a better job mapping out directions to attractions before loosing cell service. Luckily, we took screen shots of the instructions from Michael which really helped. We spent our free time exploring the property, venturing to the NOC for a day and exploring the areas around the marina. The weather started out cool but warmed up as the weekend progressed. We had two nights of rain but dry weather during the day. We used our all wheel drive to get all the way to the site and it worked great.

First family camping trip was a success! Location was easy to find and kids loved it. Felt very private for our kids to run around and enough distance between campsites to not worry about noise bothering others (at least I hope we didn't). Thanks again for everything!

Nantahala: Cabins & Campsites

13 sites · Lodging, Tents7 acres · NC

We just retired from Active Duty Air Force! My ancestors have owned the land our NC cabins sit on since 1836. In fact, my mother grew up there after my Grandfather returned from WWII when there was no electricity and the outhouse was a bench over the creek. I grew up hiking the mountains with my brothers and our BB guns and my Uncle Frank at our family reunions. In 2005 he deeded us a parcel of land and we built our first cabin - Smawlie. We love to come to the cabin and Hike the trails on our own property, and of course, the world famous ones that join them, namely the Bartram and the Appalachian Trails. As you explore the lake, the trails, the rivers, and the mountain roads you'll see why our ancestors settled here. In 2018 - we bought the remainder of Uncle Frank's land - and in his honor built our second cabin - Frank's Landing. Also in that year I started managing my brother Bill's cabin. When we were stationed in Alaska for 6 heavenly years - we purchased a remote parcel of property and have slowly begun to develop it. We just completed building our cabin there. Thanks for reading this little tid bit about us. We love to explore the mountains and are excited to share our cabins with you.
