Weekend Trip to Tumble Down Shack

Richie was a great host and the shack was cute. The land is just uphill of the host's main house. You don't have to worry about the shared property because he respects your privacy. He said hello to us when we arrived and then we saw him again just before we checked out. It rained each night we stayed here and the shack kept us warm and dry.

Weekend Trip to Magnolia Moon Farm

Great spot. Scott and Heidi are some of the most generous hosts I have met. They are very warm and welcoming, and being greeted with a drink of my choice was an amazing way to unwind from a long road trip. The trailer was cute, clean and cozy. It feels remote and back country, and yet it was close enough to the Tail of the Dragon that I could be there at first light. I'd definitely do it again!

We had such an incredible time staying at Scott and Heidi's place!! I can't wait to go back; one of the coolest places. We stayed in the stargazers tent and it was SO cute and so well stocked. They built their own 1970's karaoke bar on premises where they made us drinks and sang some Tom waits songs for us. We had such a fun time hanging out with them and hearing their stories. I'll definitely be back through on my next road trip!!

Weekend Trip to Magnolia Moon Farm

Wow, what an amazing find Magnolia Moon Farm is! Probably one of the best rentals we've ever had. We stayed in the Yurt and came fully loaded with a 1.5 year old, wife, and pup. Our baby and dog had SO much fun romping around in the yard and checking out the friendly goats and chickens. We've never experienced such friendliness and hospitality from our hosts than we did here; I would highly recommend anyone looking for a quiet getaway glamping trip to check out Magnolia Moon Farm. DONT FORGET to bring cash for the Thursty Goat, their on-site bar that is staffed and operated by the owners - we missed out this time but we'll be back to chum it up soon and take full advantage of their services soon!

The location is also great proximity to the things we wanted to explore in the area- Dollywood and Smokey mountains. Def would recommend to other interested campers traveling to the area :)
