Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

Campsite was beautiful! Well water tasted fresh, porta potty was super clean and Blair mentioned he will have a bath house later this year. We loved how spread out the campsites were and felt very private with out own little creek. The creek crossing was mild and stock forester and 4runner had no issues crossing.

What can I say that I haven’t said before we love it there

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

Daffodil Bank had plenty of room for our family of 5. 2 tents, 1 single person tent, canopy tent with our folding table plus the camps picnic table, 2 cars, and a couple places for a hammock. All that set up and still have space to move around. The Porta potty was very clean and not far from our site at all. The creek was beautiful. Everyone had a very nice time. So sad we had to leave, but we will definitely be back ♡

This place is amazing. Lots of sites to choose from with privacy. The winding creek the most sites are on give great views from each. Blair is a great host when something was needed. Looking forward to my next trip already booked.

We had a great time tent camping by the river. Pet friendly place. Clean bathhouse, and owner available on site if needed. The campsite was beautiful and so peaceful.

Blair’s piece of land is a piece of heaven. Everything is so clean and clearly cared for. I stayed in a safari tent solo and felt safe. I’ve been camping in many places all over the country and this is in my top favorites. I will say if you are looking for true seclusion, you’d be able to see other campers (if they’re there) and once in a while you can hear a car go by. But it’s quiet and peaceful and for me, someone who loves being “off grid”, it was wonderful. If I’m ever back in the area I will absolutely 100% return! Thank you Blair for everything.

Falling asleep to the sound of the creek was so relaxing. The light pollution is very minimal so you can see so many stars and the planets! The creekside safari tent is always perfect and the daffodils are so pretty! Can’t wait to get back!

We loved the beach/creek area to fish and play. The bathroom was nice and clean.

We had a wonderful stay at Broken Oak. Craig and Sarah were kind and considerate. The bathroom building was clean and well kept. We were even impressed by the quality and amount in the wood bundles, and available for purchase. Thank you for being great hosts!

Nice people to deal with , no issues except the weather lol. My family has had a great time camping at this beautiful spot. Thanks to our hosts for all the help . Will be back

1 night at The Quack Shack

This structure is so well-designed and the hot tea/coffee available and wood fired hot tub made it extra special! We propped open the siding and my son read a book while I cooked our dinner in the chiminea on the deck - so lovely.

2 nights at TangleWood Creekside Campsites

We loved our stay at the Little Cabin! My boys loved playing in the creek and exploring the property. They have done so much work after Helene and it’s looking great! Very close to gem mining and we enjoyed hiking to Tom’s Creek Falls. Blair was very helpful and accommodating. My husband had to work at the Starlink worked perfectly from the cabin. Looking forward to coming back for tent camping! Thank you!

Always a great experience. My first time in the cabin and it was clean and comfortable. The grounds are great and of course the creek was beautiful.

3 nights at TangleWood Creekside Campsites

This property and safari tent was absolutely perfect for our family and dogs! For starters the property is so perfect. Plenty of trails so we never had to leave to find adventure. It has a lovely stream that runs through it that the kids had a blast playing in (even in February). The tent provided the essentials for us to glamp and the owner was always just a message away. Lastly, it is situated nicely between local attractions so if you want to adventure around it doesn’t take up your whole day. 10/10 recommend!

We had a great time at the Quack Shack!! Nick was super nice and met us at his pottery studio to show us around and then we had the place to ourselves all night. He was kind enough to leave us with scrap wood to make a fire in the chimnea!!! Everything was clean and the A-frame was super cozy. Absolutely wonderful glamping experience complete with two heaters to keep us warm all night, nearby bathrooms, and a stocked coffee/tea bar. We would absolutely come back and recommend this place to friends!

Weekend Trip to Broken Oak Riverside Getaway

I enjoyed camping on the river at Site #2. It was quiet and exactly what I needed. Having close access to water and a bathroom for primitive camping was really nice. I will return.

A rocky creek winds through the woods at the base of several hikable peaks hidden just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Wildlife enthusiasts are encouraged to explore, on foot or mountain-bike, anywhere within our 170 acres (or the adjoining 250 acres owned by the US Forestry Service off our Western border) and are likely to catch glimpses of turkey, beaver, deer, fox, eastern box turtle and the many species of songbird and raptor. The location is convenient to tons of local attractions for sightseeing and outdoor activities as well as shopping, dining, even wine tasting. We would be happy to supply a comprehensive list of the various local attractions upon request but the following are a few of our favorite things to do within a short drive: visit Linville Falls, Caverns, Gorge and/or Winery; drive the Blue Ridge parkway; tube/kayak down the Catawba river; hike beautiful Crabtree Falls; cross Grandfather Mountains mile high bridge and explore the nearby towns of Spruce Pines or Little Switzerland. The scenic drives to Asheville, Blowing Rock or Banner Elk make them each wonderful day-trip destinations.

The Quack Shack

This site is accessed via a short trail through the trees down a gentle, sloping hill, and finally by a short stairway, and as such it may not be easily accessible for campers with limited mobility. Located on the grounds of the Duckpond Pottery, The Quack Shack is a secluded treehouse perched along the banks of the French Broad River. The structure is an 8x10 A-frame that transforms via a hinged wall into an open-air cabana with a charming deck that affords spectacular views of the French Broad River and surrounding countryside. The interior of the Quack Shack, with its vaulted 11-foot ceiling and earthen plaster walls, provides a warm glow in a rainforest environment. It is furnished with a comfortable seating area surrounding a coffee table that can be easily converted to a full-size queen bed at night. On the outside deck are beach chairs and a chimenea available for use. The quack shack has electric power (1 outlet only). Amenities include a bathroom located a short walk away at the main building as well as an open-air on-demand shower located off the bathroom on a deck overlooking the French Broad River. Morning coffee and tea is available at The Tea Hut located just a hop, skip, and jump from the treehouse. NOTE: The Duckpond Pottery is a working studio pottery and gallery that is open to the public. It is also home to occasional open-air house concerts on the deck at the pottery. The host generally blocks concert dates, however, it is worth double-checking with the host that there will not be a concert if you desire a quieter experience.
