Weekend Trip to Mountain Creek Rest

I loved staying at the Diamondstone!! I am a returning guest on Brian’s property and my stay was amazing as always. The cabin was so lovely, cozy and well built. The site was very well maintained and peaceful. I love love love the creek that runs behind the cabin. It’s a natural white noise. Directions to the site were very clear and Brian was responsive and helpful. The check out instructions were clear too and Brian provided all supplies needed to keep the cabin clean for the next guest. I will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to The Heart Center

We loved staying in Liz’s land, we were joined by another family with kids and had the most magical experience. Liz is a warm, thoughtful and amazing host. We booked the Yurts and they were pristine, comfortable and had basic needs for our trip. The gym was a nice bonus for everyone to have fun. Can’t say enough good things about our stay! We would love to come back !

3 nights at Honeysuckle Springs Smoky Mountains

Pros- This place is peaceful. The view was mesmerizing. We really enjoy the pop up camper. The hosts were super responsive. They provided us with everything we needed to get to the site. The best part is that they have WIFI. Cons- Camp sites were way too close to each other. It was hard for us to turn on our music enough for all us to hear. All of our concentration was focused on trying to not be too loud. Since we didn’t want to disturb our neighboring sites. For those of you, who like the idea of Meet and Greet while enjoying the beautiful nature view, then this place is for you. The bathroom was super clean. It was good opportunity to get few steps in lol. But it was a little far to walk down in the middle of the night.

Weekend Trip to Honeysuckle Springs Smoky Mountains

Beautiful property and good communication. The campsite was set up well and the facilities were clean and convenient.

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 Appalachian Pond Campground

Although I only stayed one evening, I absolutely loved my spot at site #3 (actually #4). Motorcycle camping, coming from Florida this was just beautiful site on a hillside with a small creek below and hsd a sunset view of the mountains. John was able to go out and pick up some firewood for me, which was amazing. Extremely friendly and wholesome people, I would be happy to visit again. The gravel road up to the tent sites is a bit steep, but I had no issue traversing it on my street bike with saddle bags in the dry environment. Thank you again, guys!

2 nights at The Heart Center

This is a beautiful and serene camping spot. We stayed in one of the yurts, but the camping would have been fun too. The forest was full of spring flowers, and there is a beautiful short hike to a creek on the property. We have kids, and playing in the old school gymnasium was a big hit! We did do some nearby hiking, but our kids just wanted to go back to the Heart Center to play :). I also appreciated access to the dining room area. Being able to use a microwave while camping makes it so much easier! And we appreciated the coffee and tea Liz had ready every morning. What a treat! Liz was a wonderful host, and one of the best parts of our stay was getting to spend time with her. She is a kind and generous person!

1 night at Harmony hollow

Road noise is a bit loud, but lovely property with good accomodations. Plenty of space! Nice hammock hanging nearby.

Weekend Trip to Critter Camp

This is my second time coming here. We absolutely love Kimber and her animals. Her donkey Abby is my favorite, she yells at us over the fence when she sees me demanding pets and will follow me around like a dog. I will always stop back anytime we are in Tennessee.

Weekend Trip to Honeysuckle Springs Smoky Mountains

Beautiful location! The hosts go out of their way to make sure that you have what you need! The bath house is very clean and well maintained!

Weekend Trip to Wilderwood Smoky Mountains

We had a wonderful stay in the tiny house & would definitely recommend it. Peaceful area, really cute cats, & plenty of amenities (firepit, coffee, showers w/ towels & shampoo, etc). Despite the size, the rooms felt spacious & the heater worked well even with cold nights. Only downside was the WiFi did not work during our stay. We found out once we arrived that a storm took it out, so hopefully this is a short term issue.

Weekend Trip to Mountain Creek Rest

A Beautiful & special place Site is absolutely gorgeous, clean and quiet. Nestled in a valley of North Carolina’s mountains, situated where the Squally Creek and the Little Buffalo Creek meet is this awesome camp site. Parking is perfect for car camping, flat/level tent platform and camp fire pit are precisely placed for a cozy, safe environment. Picnic table, small gathering of tools for the campfire pit and elevated grill were very well maintained. We brought our dog and she had an awesome time. Brian’s driving directions were very helpful. He met us briefly and was the perfect host. (It’s more off the beaten path than we expected making it even better with no distant highway traffic sounds!) Buy/Bring your own seasoned firewood. No cutting down native firewood…leave the woods as you found them. Someone had left some and so did we. We Highly recommend this site, host and season.

Weekend Trip to Mountain Creek Rest

Incredible setting, beautiful primitive cabin, and kind host. Will be back!

Weekend Trip to Honeysuckle Springs Smoky Mountains

My partner and I had a wonderful weekend here! The bathrooms were great and the view was beautiful! The owner was kind and checked in with us throughout the stay. He provided us with great hiking recommendations in the area, including a trail they have right off the campsite! Definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Honeysuckle Springs Smoky Mountains

Honeysuckle Springs was a beautiful place to “glamp”! The site was well kept and the bathhouse was kept clean and stocked. Beautiful wildlife and views make me want to visit again!

Weekend Trip to Secluded Waterfall Haven

Like everyone says , this is an amazing place, already reserved another date ... if you an open day on their schedule, reserve it , you won't regret it

2 nights at RV w hookups 35 acres hike & fish

We had a great time here. It was quite and secluded. There are 3 cabins on the property, but they're spread out enough to where you're not right up next to each other. They have plenty of walking trails on the property, as well as a private pond with a canoe and fish. My little boy caught his first fish here.

1 night at Wilderwood Smoky Mountains

Book this! You will not regret it. The drive is fun - I absolutely loved Lynne’s property! The views are incredible. They thought of everything - hot coffee, towels, robes. Just stunning. We stayed in the tiny house and fell in love. There are also the sweetest cats on site that made our stay that much more special. Thank you Lynne! We will be coming back ❤️

2 nights at Mountain Creek Rest

This was my first ‘solo camping’ trip with my companion Sir Eggz of Benedict, aka Bennie, and Diamondstone did not disappoint. Brian welcomed us upon arrival and ensured that I was in safe land. This location was private, which I loved the most, other than the most beautiful landscape I have ever been to camping . This is a special place.

Weekend Trip to Mountain Creek Rest

This site was great! We had a good bit of rain during our stay so the cabin was a great place to stay dry. Even with the rain, the site wasn’t a muddy mess. Our first day there was dry and beautiful. Would definitely come back.

Mother Well Remote Glamping or Tent

2 sites · Tents10 acres · Murphy, NC

Hut or Tent, your choice. We just added the tent platform and it is your choice as to tent platform or Hut. They are about a football field away from each other. Get away from it all on a secluded mature wooded hill twenty minutes from the Ococee River. You can feel how old the Appalachian mountains are here. Remote enough and private but no 4WD needed (flat terrain to parking) and enough neighbors if needed (road running through property leads to subdivision by Apalachia Lake so has traffic on it.) To the right of the road is a creek and bog, to the left we have several acres of woods to explore and relax in. You will see an occasional car on the private road that runs below the Hut but on the hill, you will have complete privacy. Please note we have not yet added a firepit or compost toilet to the tent platform so you will be needing to go to the Hut for both of those. You can get to the Hut from the Platform along the road or through the woods. It is a beautiful place to chill and hang out that we are happy to share with you. Three of ten acres to the right of the road that runs through our property are a bog that runs along a creek with the creek joining wild remote Apalachia Lake. (Pretty much unpassable Nature saying keep out.) But enjoy hiking and exploring our seven gently sloping mature wood hills. There are also lots of well maintained dirt hillside roads for exploring or biking. Enjoy our Baba Yaga hut with only the bare necessities but you will be flat, dry and able to enjoy the woods all to yourself. Or the Tent Platform pretty much complete privacy. When one is rented, we take the other off the calendar so you get the entire place to yourself. Come explore and then chill away from it all.

A Gnome Away From Home

Our family started vacationing in Tennessee years ago. From the very first time we stayed in mountains we knew we had to make it our home. After years of dreaming we took a huge leap of faith and sold our house in Illinois, packed up everything we owned into a moving truck, and headed south. No jobs, no plans, and everything we knew in the rearview mirror. We landed in Knoxville for a bit while we figured out where we were going to work because paying bills is a necessary evil and started house hunting. We stumbled across this property totally on accident. Turns out it was exactly what we were looking for! My husband dreamed of living in a cabin and I dreamed of hosting guests. Here we have the best of both worlds! We are travelers ourselves and have stayed in so many unique placed all over the country.

The previous owners harvested the trees so it is our goal to bring the property back to its original beauty. You will see us buzzing around planting trees, wildflowers, veggies, and fruit whenever time and weather allows.
