Stories from the community

3 nights at Happy Holler

We enjoyed our stay. It was pretty quiet. Nobody bothered us. There is traffic on the road but you don't feel like people are looking at you. Not really any views like you would expect in the mountains, but the bubbling brook is relaxing to sit beside. The road has wide shoulders so walking the dogs was easy as long as you don't mind uphill.

1 night at Stoney Creek Oasis Campground

Beautiful camping spot in the Ashville area with a beautiful swimming brook, swim at your own risk of course. I will definitely be back.

4 nights at Harmony hollow

Super peaceful area while still being close to town, would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay down here. Smells clean in the area, and the crick and horses beside the campsite are a nice addition.

Weekend Trip to Harmony hollow

We loved the outdoor shower and how beautiful the area was. The hosts left books to read and games . Our daughter loved the hammock. Hopefully next time we will get to see the horses ❤️ will definitely be back. Hopefully earlier enough to be able to meet the hosts .

This place was very cute, off in the country but like 3 minutes from gas station and 10 from a walmart. The creek was nice and very cute decorated by the owners! Be sure to be careful if you have a small vehicle was a little hard to get our truck up the hill each time in the morning dew without our 4wd on. The horses were nice to watch in the distance. The shower and toilet was nice to use and covered by doors. The shower didnt drain, but I swept out the old water standing before taking a shower. Very convenient place to get to the pigeon forge area but still be off the beaten path.

It was wonderful being able to Hammock camp there. The horses were very nice to see in the evenings! The fireflies were also very cool!

Weekend Trip to Raven Ridge

My stay at Raven Ridge was just what I needed. It was quiet, scenic, and charming.

4 nights at Stoney Creek Oasis Campground

Great host on a beautiful creek. The road is a little close but the ambiance and friendliness more than outweighs that. Clean sites and beautiful bathroom.

I loved camping at Harmony Hollow. It's such a nice place. The hosts are amazing and will help you with anything you need. I'll definitely be coming back in the near future.

2 nights at Harmony hollow

My favorite part was sitting by the campfire listening to the babbling creek and watching the fireflies. This is a beautiful place to camp. It was nice to have the washing station and the shower. There are several nice touches - a basket of travel size toiletries, cute signs, twinkle lights.

Harmony Hollow is a nice pleasant camp very close to Sevierville and Pigeon Forge. The shower was also nice after a few days without one while overlanding.

Weekend Trip to Harmony hollow

Good, clean spot for a quick camp. If you’re in a 4Runner of camper van maybe book the other spots that are more level or else make sure you have some sort of leveling solution.

Raven Ridge

2 sites · Lodging5 acres · Marshall, NC

Raven ridge is a 5.0 acre property with plenty of botanical appeal, Appalachian charm and mountain views. James landed on the property in 2009, built a small dairy barn and milked 3 cows for a couple years before building the two cabins. In 2015 he was joined by Sofi, originally from Sweden and together they have three daughters. Together they manage a botanically interesting hobby hill farm and are happy to host travelers and seekers in their cabins. Hilltop was a joint project that James built in 2012 with a talented woodworker and friend in 6 months. We have maintained the original vibe of the place, rustic simplicity and elegance a notch or two above glamping, well-described by the zen koan, "chop wood, carry water" Orchard House was built entirely by James from the block up to the roof, averaging 1 hour/day for 3 years or 1,000 hours. Some of the Hilltop photos are a bit dated, we have a more private outhouse behind the cabin, and have made a few improvements here and there. Reach out anytime for any reason. We love hosting and nearly everyone enjoys their stay.
