1 night at Bear Hollow Reserve

Great Vibe, kinda cold last night. So glad they had a huge stack of firewood! Hike up to site was well marked and took 5 minutes. Great View, cruised by the creek in the morning, taking my fishing pole next time, should have booked this site for 2 nights. Remote but central to everything out here! Hosts were very responsive.

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!

Weekend Trip to Luxurious Couples Getaway-Reboot!

This tiny cabin was exactly what we needed for a peaceful getaway! My husband and I recently got remarried to set a new anniversary date, as our original one carried difficult memories. We wanted something simple and relaxing, and this space was perfect—cozy, welcoming, and well-stocked with everything from blankets and cooking essentials to a hair dryer and even shampoo and conditioner for the outdoor shower! Everything was clean and fresh upon arrival, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, offering both heavy and light pillows for those who like options. The porch felt comfortably private while still letting us enjoy the sounds and sights of nature. The string lights at night are such a beautiful touch! The owner, Sunny, was friendly and responsive when I had a question about the outdoor shower. A well-organized binder provided clear instructions for everything (from the cooktop and hot tub spa to the projector and everything else) along with local recommendations. We took a scenic drive to Amicalola Falls, passing several charming apple orchards. Stopping at B.J. Reece Orchards for their famous fried pies was a delicious highlight! We’d highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking to escape the busyness of everyday life—especially couples wanting to slow down, be intentional with their time together, and remind themselves why they choose each other every day.

Weekend Trip to Nantahala Spiritual Retreat

We had the most peaceful and beautiful stay at this secluded spot! The area was incredibly quiet, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. The highlight of our time there was sitting by the fire, gazing up at the stars, and listening to the soothing sounds of the nearby water. It felt like the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. If you're looking for a serene and picturesque getaway, this place is a hidden gem. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Nantahala Spiritual Retreat

The tiny house was by far the best experience of my life. I'm a minimalist so it was perfect and felt like home the second i settled in. Steve and the very nice lady ( sorry I forgot her name she was soo sweet) but they were amazing and helpful throughout my stay ; such a cool personality. I enjoyed the bonfire on top of the mountain and the energy is soo amazing thank you for sharing such a positive experience. See you guys soon.

Smoky Mountain Sky Camp - Cosby

3 sites · Lodging11 acres · Newport, TN

Two Great Smoky Mtn National Park entrances are within 8 miles! Leave No Trace mentality and simpler living, where wildlife abounds and zero city lights are visible. Motivation behind the creation of Smoky Mountain Sky Camp is to share with the public an alternative, nature-based vacation inspired by conservation with minimal impact. The treehouses are quiet, secluded, and actually border GSMNP property and Cherokee National Forest land; the Appalachian Trail at Davenport Gap is ¾ mile away. Nearby GSMNP entrances: Big Creek is 2.5 mi, Cosby at 8 miles. Only 3 to the Pigeon River whitewater section, and accessible to hundreds of miles of mountain biking and hiking roads/trails. Each treehouse was built by hand by hosts (husband/wife team) Anthony and Brenna. A long history of camping and working in the outdoor recreation industry inspired a design to intentionally interact with nature. By utilizing rain collection, solar power generation, composting toiletries, outdoor cooking, each treehouse is completely off-grid. Rest from your adventures on the comfy, queen and full-sized beds. A spacious queen bottom bunk and lofted double mattress can accommodate four adult campers. All bed linens and pillows are provided. The treehouses offer private, indoor bathing and toilet facilities. Every treehouse is equipped with a propane-heated, rain-collection shower and maintenance-free, vented composting toilet. All bath towels/washcloths, plus shampoo/wash are provided in each treehouse bathroom. You can dine al fresco in the trees! The kitchenette boasts wide concrete countertop table dining with four stools, two-burner propane cooktop, potable water and drain sink, and separate propane grill. Provided cookware includes pots, pans, cooking/grill tools and utensils, cutting board and knife. There are complete place settings for 4 glampers, plus coffee percolator and mugs (bring ground coffee.) There is no refrigerator, bring your own cooler and ice. Unique, spectacular views of nature are seen from each treehouse. Snowbird Mountain to North, Mt Sterling to East, Chestnut Mountain to West and Mt Cammerer to South. NEW for 2025: Short loop hiking trails onsite directly from each treehouse. Maps and directions provided inside the House Manual within each treehouse.
