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.

Weekend Trip to Treehouse Hollow and Cabin Rentals

Amazing little cabin! Very clean and well thought out design. My son and I stayed for the weekend and loved the rushing creek right from the huge back covered patio. We also really enjoyed the clean hot tub. There was plenty of seclusion and privacy even with renters in the treehouse next door. We will definitely stay here again!

2 nights at Hiawassee Glamping

We had an awesome stay at the container tree house. Wasn't sure what to expect but we were extremely happy. The view is amazing and the house its self is cozy especially for a couple looking for a great weekend. My wife had an amazing birthday and went on and on about how great the place was. The hot tub looking out into the mountains with the lake below is pretty epic! Brian the host gave us tons of recommendations and even helped us find a mountain biking trail where my wife got to have her first ride and now she's hooked. We will definitely be coming back and will most likely try all three units on the property as they all look killer. I almost don't want to write this review so that we can keep this a secret for ourselves. Thanks Brian, we will be back...

4 nights at Private Glamper/HOT TUB/MNTN VIEWS

We had a wonderful time staying at Private Glamping w/ Outdoor Shower at Private Glamper/HOT TUB/MNTN VIEWS. Our hosts were so kind and thoughtful, and the setup was excellent and had everything one needs for a very comfortable and memorable glamping experience. The hot tub was definitely a highlight for us. Despite a sudden cold front coming in, the camper was always at a comfortable temperature and we never felt cold at night, even with outside temperatures dropping below freezing. Thank you again to our generous hosts for a great stay in this little oasis in Bryson City. We look forward to visiting again.

Weekend Trip to Nantahala Cabins

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a little getaway at Jeanette’s cute Gone Fishin’ cabin. It was clean, had plenty of clean towels and the kitchen was just right for us to prepare our food. We enjoyed the hot tub and the covered porch.

Weekend Trip to Private Glamper/HOT TUB/MNTN VIEWS

Picture this: Wake up in your cozy camper (very clean and comfortable bed) and hop in the hot tub (extra towels included), take a hot outdoor shower surrounded by fall leaves and head down into Bryson City for some coffee and breakfast. After that, spend the day hiking in the Smokeys, come back into town to explore some shops and breweries, then head back to your cozy trailer for a fire and to soak some more in the hot tub. That was our exact experience- even though it was about 50 degrees and raining by the evening, that actually made everything even more fun, hot tub included. This site is so unique, convenient, and well designed. You can tell the host takes pride in making it a perfect stay for everyone, with attention to detail (like putting out a Halloween themed basket with Kurig pods). She even refunded money for firewood we didn’t use. One note: the hot tub was set at 95 when we arrived, and after a few hours was only 97 even though we set it to 104. It took overnight to get up to temperature, but after that it stayed hot and we got plenty of use out of it.

Weekend Trip to Magnolia Moon Farm

Great spot. Scott and Heidi are some of the most generous hosts I have met. They are very warm and welcoming, and being greeted with a drink of my choice was an amazing way to unwind from a long road trip. The trailer was cute, clean and cozy. It feels remote and back country, and yet it was close enough to the Tail of the Dragon that I could be there at first light. I'd definitely do it again!

Weekend Trip to TeePee Village Ocoee Hiwassee River

What a value!!!!!!! 😍🤑 Dirk our host was very accommodating. We felt very safe and secure on site. We really appreciated all the communal amenities like the grill, hot tub, fire pit. Being able to bring pets with no additional al charge, also a big plus. Each teepee rental receives their OWN bathroom (away from the teepee) and each teepee has a mini fridge and air conditioning!! Dirk mentioned they might switch them out for heaters in the cold months. Also not mentioned in the listing, there is a stocked pond on site with small mouth and crappie. Special tip, the chilhowee recreation area can be reached in LESS than 20 min via Benton Springs road, which is a mildly adventurous, low speed gravel switchback mountain road. Any vehicle should be fine in dry conditions with minimal clearance. Excited to come back with friends and family!

1 night at Magnolia Moon Farm

We had such an incredible time staying at Scott and Heidi's place!! I can't wait to go back; one of the coolest places. We stayed in the stargazers tent and it was SO cute and so well stocked. They built their own 1970's karaoke bar on premises where they made us drinks and sang some Tom waits songs for us. We had such a fun time hanging out with them and hearing their stories. I'll definitely be back through on my next road trip!!

3 nights at Private Glamper/HOT TUB/MNTN VIEWS

We loved this awesome cozy trailer. Everything was super clean and well laid out. Lots of thoughtful notes around the camper explaining various things about the camper. The hot tub was nice and hot and also very clean. Same goes for the outdoor shower. This was a delightful private retreat that we would come back to anytime! The hosts were super easy to get a hold of if we had any questions and were super friendly overall. No major complaints!

The camper was very clean, comfortable and well stocked. We really enjoyed the privacy, the outdoor shower and relaxing in the hot tub. Would highly recommend but suggest bringing bug spray as the mosquitos were out in the early evening.

Weekend Trip to Tiny Home Way

Joni’s place was very cute and fit the bill for what we were looking for a quiet weekend stay! About thirty to forty minutes from great areas like Dahlonega and Blairsville, we got to explore both town and forest and have a cozy place to crash. Be mindful you can see the other tiny homes if you’re looking for something extremely quiet.

We had a family emergency the night before that prevented us from going last minute. We were bummed out for sure. I can tell you that the booking process was a breeze and Angela was very receptive to our needs and questions. We truly look forward to being able to stay.

Weekend Trip to TeePee Village Ocoee Hiwassee River

Dirk was a fantastic host! The site has a great set-up: - Each Teepee has it’s own bathroom & shower - Teepee’s equip with surge protector outlets, AC unit, fan, and light - Gas and charcoal grill work great - Hot tub seemed to work, but we didn’t use it The spot is so easy to find, and Dirk met us as soon as we got there to show us around. He was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. The location is nice and tucked away, so we felt secluded and safe. We were the only Teepee rented the nights we were there, but they seem far enough apart to not hear ovcupants of the other 2. The TeePee definitely got toasty from about 11 A.M. to sunset, but cooled off nicely as the sun went down. Sleeping temps were perfect (actually too cold so we turned the AC down in the night). Bed was comfortable as well. My girlfriend had never been camping so I choose this spot with it’s amenities, and we both had a great time! Both the Ocoee and Hiwasse were awesome!

3 nights at Nantahala Cabins

We rented this cabin for a family trip to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The location was great as it was a 30 minute drive to the park entrance which is short enough to be convenient but far enough to be out of the chaos. The cabin was clean and comfortable. It’s a little closer to the road than I’d prefer (you can’t see the road but you can hear it), but when we had the gentle hum of the hot tub or a fan then the road noise disappeared. Also, I was able to do some mountain biking at Tsali and the trailhead is less than 15 minutes away from this cabin, which was fantastic!

5 nights at Friendship Falls Campground

This tiny home is a perfect getaway! Looks exactly like photos. Tucked away at quiet campground, which is sufficient in itself, but it’s also close to some overlooks on the foothills parkway and 30 min or so from Great Smokies main entrances, Gatlinburg and other attractions. Will was responsive. Definitely recommend booking! :)
