41mi from Bryson City · 6 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Candler, NC

Awesome 360° Mountain Views at CreekStone’s three VISTA360 campsites for small to large RV’s/campers, a tiny home and two tent camping spaces in Candler, North Carolina. Enjoy the mountains and lots of space to roam, hike, pitch horseshoe, enjoy fires in fire pit or simply relax and enjoy the views. All three of the RV/camper spaces have both 30/50 amp electrical power, sewer and water hookup. The tent camping space has toilet facilities, access to water and trash disposal. The tiny home accommodates 2-3 people - perfect for those who want to be close to their camping friends/families but don’t have campers. This property was my childhood home and after retiring, my husband and I moved back to one of the homes on this farm where I grew up. He has since passed and my son, Todd, now helps me maintain the property and assists with ensuring the best experience for our guests. We wanted to offer this space for campers to share the awesome views and this part of North Carolina with others who enjoy nature, outdoors, and all the great things to experience in the surrounding towns. Only a 20 minute drive to Asheville where you can tour Biltmore House, Grove Park, breweries, eat at many great restaurants, enjoy rafting, zip lining and many other outdoor activities. We are 15 minutes from Blue Ridge Parkway with 2-lane, less traveled access road to get there. Bring your bikes and hiking equipment - plenty of room to ride and roam. The old red barn on property has been restored and offers relaxation loft for your enjoyment.

2. Good Egg Tiny Home & Remodeled Barn

100%

(10)

38mi from Bryson City · 4 sites · Lodging · Hot Springs, NC

When you go to sleep, there's no light except the moon and stars, no refrigerator or central heating or air conditioning noise -- only the sounds of nature -- the stream, crickets or frogs in the nearby pond, dogs or coyotes in the distance. Without the glow of a nearby city, the hot tub on a clear night, the skies are dazzling. Speaking of which, the wood-fired hot tub is made by a company called Snorkel. It's perfect for 2 and can fit 3, although tight. It's Japanese style hot tub bathing, meaning no chemicals. Also, since we're not grid tied, it relies on a firebox heating fresh spring water, which you fill it with. It takes approx. 35 minutes to fill the tub and between 3 and 3.5 hours to heat (longer when it's really cold!). There's a thermometer in it, so as it gets closer to your liking (don't let it get over 102 degrees), let the existing logs burn down, choke off the air vent sleeve and hop in. With no pump sounds and the stars above, it's incomparable. The $50 fee (per 2 night rentals) covers thorough cleaning between guests and split firewood. You will be very comfortable in Little Good Egg, even in extreme weather, simply by paying attention and taking more time for simple tasks. It sounds corny, but there is a meditative quality to thinking and doing things like heating water, keeping warm, staying hydrated, eating well and choosing to do what you really want. I'm always amazed how busy I am -- and how different this kind of busy feels -- without electronics and my technological "time savers." Odd as it sounds to say this, it's stunning and wonderful to go "offline," even for just a day, and not get hit by little chirps and incoming messages that seem to arrive now 24/7. Note: Since we opened in October, 2014, guest reviews consistently tell us us best thing about staying at Good Egg is being off the grid and the treadmill of modern life, unplugging from the dominant culture and experiencing oneself as humans did 100 years ago and more. Whether it’s the absence of electricity (in the cabin), the quiet of the country, no city glow in the night sky, or the once common experience of the natural world dominating over human-made or human-crafted things, it’s astonishing for many of us to see and feel and experience without constant communications via text and email and the distractions of modern life. Many people write that they’ve learned an enormous amount about themselves, about homesteading or permaculture, and about alternate ways of being.

4 nights at Glamping Domes & A-Frame

The view is the star of the show. Add a hot tub and fire pit and that’s a bonus. Inside is very comfortable and cozy. The kitchen setup was adequate. It could use a toaster/counter top convection oven. The grill outside worked well however. Also the fridge was a good size for the 4 nights we stayed. Google maps ends short of your destination so getting there was a bit confusing. We were lucky Ravi was on sight to escort us. Hopefully better signage will be added. The road is a bit rough but manageable for the last 1/4 mile or so. Again, once there, it’s all about the view and the isolation. Shower was roomy and nice. The bed was huge and comfy. The geo-domes were close but it all felt private enough and our neighbors were quiet. It’s close to the Smokies which was our draw but not much else. Fine by us as we didn’t even leave the premises for a day and a half. Did I mention the view?

Wonderful stay near Knoxville and pigeon forge. We enjoyed both cities during our stay while also enjoying the peaceful atmosphere bear hollow had to offer. The kids and I loved feeding the fish and going to the creek. Maybe next time we will get a chance to enjoy the beautiful hiking trails.

This was the cutest little tiny home. Simple and quiet. There' a cozy bed, a fire pit, a compost toilet, and a creek to explore! This was the perfect stop just outside of knoxville! Kimberly and her husband were so kind, and helped me with any questions I had!

2 nights at Sojourn Lodging

This place is so cute and was perfect for us, our 3 year old, and our dog. Our son loved the tiny home, calling it, "my house". The house is thoughtfully designed making the most of the such a small space. We had everything we needed and more. We are used to primitive camping so it was nice to have more accommodations available like shower, stove, dishes, a Keurig & microwave. It's only about a 25 minute drive to Gatlinburg with a Walmart down the street as well to grab some groceries or extras you may need.

Incredibile little place! Nestled in the trees this place has brought the peace and nature I needed to recharge. There is a cute club house with MKII and snacks. The tiny home itself is impeccable and decorated so cute. The owners are responsive and kind. The staff is wonderful. 10/10 will stay again. In fact, I extended my stay 2 days!!!

3 nights at Tiny House Cabins of Bryson City NC

This cabin was very close to the Smokies and the GSMR train station in Bryson City. Very comfortable and well equipped, and a lovely screened porch to sit and sip coffee with a mountain view. Quiet. The host was very nice.

5 nights at Friendship Falls Campground

This tiny home is a perfect getaway! Looks exactly like photos. Tucked away at quiet campground, which is sufficient in itself, but it’s also close to some overlooks on the foothills parkway and 30 min or so from Great Smokies main entrances, Gatlinburg and other attractions. Will was responsive. Definitely recommend booking! :)

Relax and unwind around the fire at Treehouse #1

Weekend Trip to Smoky Mountain Sky Camp - Cosby

This little cabin was cozy and had all the necessities! A shower, toilet, bed, and outdoor stove top and grill! Its even supplied with chairs to sit on, cookware, utensils, cleaning supplies! But the best part is, its away from everything.. not gonna walk outside and see anyone next door. The owner Brenna is wonderful and very communicative. She even made a binder with tips and things to do nearby! I was very impressed with the rainwater shower being heated well and quickly along with the compost toilet as it doesn't smell at all. We want to come back again!! Also, last but not least there is alot of shade provided by the trees making it alot cooler even with hot weather. The cabin is very clean and was bug free. Perfect little getaway!

Weekend Trip to Smoky Mountain Sky Camp - Cosby

Staying at Smoky Mountain Sky Camp was a dream! The treehouse was the perfect place to start and end every day with my best friend. From cooking breakfast on the front porch to ending the night by the campfire under the stars, this was a magical glamping experience! You are literally in the trees on the side of the mountain and it is so quiet and peaceful. Everything in the treehouse is so well thought out from the usage of the space for the beds, bathroom and heated rainwater shower, to the supply cabinet where everything is labeled and a guestbook with clear instructions on how to use each area. Brenna was a great communicator and this place made for the perfect home base to see the Smokies. Do note that the last 10 miles to the house is a very curvy, but paved road that boarders the National Park, so getting there before dark is quite helpful. Brenna gave us great directions so it was easy to find, and the drive was beautiful. We even saw a black bear cross the road (as well as squirrels, rabbits, and a possum). This treehouse is truly a nature lovers dream! Thanks for sharing your home in the woods with us!

Cute little getaway! Clean and as expected. We didn’t need much, but we had what we did need! It was off the beaten path with a beautiful curvy drive to get there. Loved the off grid features. A very nice and quiet get away with quiet homemade trails all around.

2 nights at Smoky Mountain Sky Camp - Cosby

Brenna did such an awesome job making our group feel right at home in the woods. A perfect balance of rustic comforts, VERY comfortable beds, and being deep woods. The property is set up as good if not better than a national park, way more cozy, without the traffic, all the campsite amenities you could hope for and very clear helpful instructions from Brenna, she doesn’t leave you guessing at all, and can feel comfortable and confident in respecting their space. We stayed with two couples in a treehouse and had an awesome time. Cooked lots of food (brought our own cast iron pot for larger meals) and bring plenty extra water if there’s more than two of you. Five gallons goes quick if you are making coffee, cooking, and hiking. The trails on property were also so amazing, perfect for stretching our legs out after a late arrival being stuck in accident riddled interstate traffic. I immediately had my shoes off to enjoy the cushy moss bedded trails of the forest floor. These folks are awesome! Their property truly shows their passion for nature. I live off grid jungle in Kauai and already dream of coming back. I know my brother in Nashville will be there again sooner than I.

Weekend Trip to Smoky Mountain Sky Camp - Cosby

My husband and I spent 2 nights here and it was the PERFECT weekend getaway! It feels very secluded. I loved that we could not see or hear the other cabins. We really felt alone in the woods. The cabin is simple and cozy. You are able to get the “unplugged, off-the-grid” feel without sacrificing convenience. It really is equipped with everything you need so don’t worry about packing a lot. We could have just brought food, a flashlight and our clothing and been just fine. The only thing that would have been nice to bring would have been an over-the fire-grate or a big cast iron pan for cooking over the fire if you would rather do that than use the stove. The little trails were also great. Don’t be deceived by the lack of mileage; the incline is pretty intense and still provides a great workout. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Fantastic spot! Only minutes to GSM Park trails. Private, cozy and just enough glamping amenities. Love the outdoor kitchenette and super comfy bed. Definitely returning for more than one night next time!! Hosts were wonderful.
