Stories from the community

One of the waterfalls near the campsite (10 minute drive from the property). Perfect for a mid afternoon water bath and suntan.

Weekend Trip to Nantahala: Cabins & Campsites

Fun experience! Very invigorating hike up to the platform, but worth it for the seclusion and stories!

Weekend Trip to Magical Mountain Resorts

We camped there our last night of a week long camping trip. All the staff was super nice and we even got a tour of some of the cabins, Mary has put so much work into this magical place! Our group had so much fun and even got to meet the adorable goats, horses, donkey, and pigs! Facilities are all very nice and clean. We loved the swings by the stream and the solar powered fairy lights at night!!

Host and caretakers are very friendly and accommodating. The place is truly magical due to their attention to detail. You can really tell the host put her heart and soul into making a dream become reality!

The LED in the Hot Tub adds a little ambiance - though you'll probably be lost in the view of the stars and the setting sun.

Weekend Trip to Nantahala: Cabins & Campsites

Incredible views from a hot tub. Need I say more? This is the perfect getaway for anyone looking to disconnect from the rest of the world. The charming little cabin is just the right size for a couple or small family. Unbeatable year round views from that hot tub, I mean. You can’t beat it. We can’t wait to come back in the summertime and enjoy it again. Thanks for a wonderful break from our routine. We’ll be back for sure!

An amazing wonderland trip. Such a unique and beautiful campground. The host is super friendly and allowed my children to help feed her animals daily which meant a lot to my son. My children hiked up the mountain daily and saw interesting plants, rocks and a little waterfall. The decor and the vibe is beyond family friendly. I will definitely be back to check out the candyland cabins.

We loved camping here in our RV! The animals are amazing and so much fun to play with! The land is beautiful and the whole place is very quiet and peaceful. We can’t wait to go back in the summer and play in the creek.

This is the campground is absolutely amazing! Shannon has obviously put her heart and soul into giving her guest a most magical experience! From the time you pass the 6 ft tall mushrooms at the entrance you will find a clean well kept mix of truly magical themed cabins, a petting zoo with the sweetest mix of lovable animals, an activity/game area with something for everyone. Can’t wait to go back!!!!

Weekend Trip to Magical Mountain Resorts

Y'ALL! If you've never heard of Magical Mountain Resorts, The Enchanted Forest you're thoroughly missing out! Words and pictures can not explain how magical this place is! You can rent Hagrid's cabin, the Harry Potter double Decker bus, two Alice in Wonderland cabins, Snow White's cottage and two Candyland Cottages. Plus RV/Tent sites. The care and effort that Shannon and her people put into this place is absolutely ridiculous! I can't tell you how accommodating these people are. They've really created such a magical place. If you have kids, you HAVE to check this place out! 🍄 🐰 🪄 ✨

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.
