Our pods (arched cabins) are tiny homes, well situated for both spectacular views as well as romantic privacy. Each home has an arched cabin style, cozy, yet well-appointed with a bedroom (queen bed), full bathroom, full kitchenette and living area with sofa and Roku TV. Homes are located close enough to enjoy a campfire with neighbors, but separated enough to enjoy that special romantic evening on your own large deck with spectacular views, or late at night enjoying the stars above. Each cabin has its very own fire pit. All cabins are outfitted with an outdoor hottub. Property is over 60 acres of onsite hiking trails, or find your special spot to sit and enjoy the view. We are just up the road from the Toe River. The famous Appalachian Trail is just minutes away, as are the Gem mines that made Mitchell County famous. Our property is historic and once a famous location for moonshine production, detailed in the book "Red Hill" available on Amazon. Or Google the "Bakersville Riots". Truly a place to enjoy hiking, or just relaxing on the beautiful large decks.

Weekend Trip to The Honey Hut

Awesome little spot for a weekend getaway. Directions to the site were easy to follow. Super cozy and felt very private. Loved making coffee in the morning and playing fetch with our pup off the deck. Temperature inside the cabin stayed nice and comfortable. Really appreciated the packing recommendations as well. Small camping lantern was all the light we needed but definitely necessary after dark as the portapotty and outdoor shower are down the hill. Thank you again for creating a lovely accommodation!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Spring

We absolutely loved our stay at Antoinette and Larry’s place! We could not have asked for a better spot. They provided unlimited firewood, fresh cookies, ice, butter, and even a space heater was ready for us where we slept. We cooked over the fire, but there’s also a grill with propane. I always bring my camp kitchen stuff with me, but there’s no need for it here. They have every you need, including a s’mores kit and a sink to wash all the dishes. Getting to know the chickens was also a highlight! We loved everything about it and it’s in our top spots for places to stay in this area now ❤️

Weekend Trip to Romantic, hot tub, pet friendly

My wife and I loved staying in the Green cabin. The fire pit and hot tub were the best. The cabin was great. The bed was comfortable. The shower had good hot water. The first night we made steaks over a campfire with baked potatoes from the air fryer. The second night we made hot dogs and roasted marshmallows on the campfire. It was a beautiful drive from Knoxville. It was about as close to perfect as you can get. Thank you for the firewood, and thank you for having us.

The Honey Hut is so very cozy and beautiful! The experience was the perfect combo of rustic and comfort, even a little bit luxe. It’s just gorgeous there, and having the outdoor kitchen right on the side of the hut is such a level-up to the camping experience!

Motorized screen raised. Looking out towards fire pit.

Weekend Trip to Asheville Area Luxury Glamping Deck

This was exactly what we needed for our quick overnight getaway in the fall. It is absolutely beautiful and offers everything you need. We had 3 adults and 3 kids and all fit very comfortably. It was actually bigger than expected. The screen for the open air insulates surprisingly well and the heaters warmed up the room when we needed them. The mattresses (including floor bed) were all very comfortable. Hot tub with wall heater was perfect for the cool fall weather. Plenty of firewood for us adults that stayed up most the night. Everything was very clean. Nate responded quickly anytime we needed anything. We can’t wait to come back!

We absolutely loved our stay here. All of the sites were filled during our stay, but everybody was quiet and respectful. Kevin was super helpful with anything we needed. Sitting in the hot tub at night while watching the stars was a highlight. The cabin was kept very clean, and it was stocked up with everything you’ll need. There was also tons of firewood for the fire pit. The land also had nature trails that you climb up to see a beautiful view. We’re really looking forward to coming here again!

This place is so special. I have never had a more comfortable glamping experience. The hot tub and views are just perfection. They thought of everything by including wifi and a little doggy care package. The pancake mix was such a sweet touch and made for an awesome morning. Cannot recommend this place enough!

1 night at Buck Ridge Resort

Really enjoyed my quick visit here. Cabin was perfect for night since a little rain came in. Very quiet and peaceful hearing the rain on the tin roof. Host was great with communication and directions were accurate. Zero phone signal and Wi-Fi in the glamping cabins is very weak, need to walk down the hill to the other cabins to get a stronger connection.

Antoinette and Larry have put a lot of thought and effort into making their guests comfortable and it shows. A loaf of bread still warm from the oven, fresh baked cookies, butter and eggs were waiting in the kitchen area, the fire pit was prepared and the property is great! The location is minutes from all the creature comforts you may want yet you feel hours away at the peaceful farm. You won’t be sorry you booked!

The accommodations, scenery, cleanliness, host friendliness, ALL OF IT, was phenomenal! Kevin and his family keep such great care to the grounds and everything you need. Everything is there... bathroom items you never thought you needed, kitchen is fully stocked, extra blankets and pillows, plenty of firewood, hot tub cleaned and hot. I mean everything. Now the grounds... all the cabins are angled in a way that ensures privacy even in the middle units. There is no noise and the night sky is clear and dark. We saw the milky way! We loved our time so much we are headed back for our anniversary in October.

I had the best experience staying here with my dog! The cabin was spotless, cozy, and perfectly tucked away in the woods with beautiful mountain views. The hot tub was the perfect way to relax in the evenings, and the deck was a great spot to enjoy morning coffee while my pup lounged nearby. Kevin was an amazing host—super welcoming, communicative, and made sure everything about our stay was comfortable. I felt right at home and completely taken care of. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with your dog where you can relax, recharge, and enjoy nature, this is the perfect spot. I’ll definitely be back!
