River, stream, or creek tiny homes near Mars Hill

The stay was amazing! The cabin was the perfect size for us and the dogs! The weather was absolutely beautiful which allows us to go hiking at some nearby trails. The cabin was equipped with anything we could have needed and more. We loved the hot tub and fire pit and were able to see the stars from each spot. Definitely will be booking a stay in the Fall. Kevin the host was super nice and accommodating, got to chat with him on our last day before we left. Looking forward to our next stay!!

What a beautiful setup Kevin has out there! The bungalow was super comfortable and what a decadent treat having a personal hot tub! It was spotless, stocked with everything needed, and it was such a pleasure speaking to Kevin. Clearly a top notch human being. Couldn’t have been happier and would stay again in an instant.

My husband and I just stayed here. This spot was great! Very well thought out. From providing coffee, basic toiletries, even a collagen face mask! We had all the basics we needed to cook food. Breakfast was on their electric griddle, dinner was cooked over the fire on their campfire grill. They also have a counter top toaster oven with lots of features but we didn't use it. Lots of plants to identify, forage. Cleared path to walk to the top of the mountain. The hot tub was awesome, the deck was where we hungout the most, and the firepit was great (comfy chairs too!) The privacy, ease of check in and check out and all the great touches made this a great spot for us. Cell reception is good. Internet good. We will be back!

Kevin was great! Fantastic stay with an amazing fire pit, house and hot tub. Had an issue with the hot tub that Kevin fixed very quickly. He is very responsive! Would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Emberglow Outdoor Resort

The cabin was perfect: all you could imagine needing for a solo retreat in a blissfully quiet and serene location. Hot tub (pre-warmed!), fire pit (stocked and ready to be made and lit!), cosy weatherproof cabin (it RAINED and was windy for a bit overnight).

We had a great experience at Emberglow. Their staff was friendly and helpful, the campground had a ton of amenities, was perfect for our young family and is very well taken care of. We plan to return soon!

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 Country Comfort Camping

we loved our stay at candee mountain! kevin was a great host! he stopped by to make sure all our needs were met shortly after we arrived. we appreciated the seclusion of ocean blue so our dog could roam off-leash without bothering anyone else. the cabin was very clean and the hot tub and views were amazing!

Nice little spot just up the street from the main drag in Hot Springs. Paul has set up a welcoming little retreat for a camper, including a lovely "boathouse" with bathroom, hot shower, deck overlooking the opposite mountain, and other amenities like a grill and fridge. This is just a little ways off 25/70, so you will get light road noise, but it didn't bother us. We still heard the birds chirping happily and bugs chittering as we watched the sun set.

4 nights at Country Comfort Camping

It's a large beautiful piece of land with a really nice bath house. If I'm ever camping in this area again, this will be the first place I look

This was a great place to stay. We went with a group that rented out all of the cabins for a group trip, but my wife and I will definitely be back for our own trip. The cabins were clean and well-designed. The property is beautiful, and the owner, Kevin, is a super cool and interesting guy. The hot tubs were perfect, the towns nearby are nice, and there's a lot of hiking potential nearby as well. Booking this place gives you everything you need to experience the mountains in comfort.

We went with a group of friends and stayed in multiple cabins to view the lunar eclipse. We all enjoyed the lodging, hot tubs, cooking over the firet, he views, and the amenities! We met Kevin he is very nice, responsive, and was a fantastic host. All of the cabins were exceptionally clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed all of the small thoughtful touches. Our pooch loved his time as well!

1 night at Smoky Mountain Sky Camp - Cosby

Excellent amenities. Beautiful area. Host was very kind.

Fantastic spot! Only minutes to GSM Park trails. Private, cozy and just enough glamping amenities. Love the outdoor kitchenette and super comfy bed. Definitely returning for more than one night next time!! Hosts were wonderful.

Kevin was a fantastic host, super responsive & gave us perfect details of everything! Very quick to reply. The property is great, with many places to hike. The cabin kept us warm & toasty. The only thing I would recommend is the tv mount be adjustable, it’s not a great angle to watch from the couch. But hey, you don’t go to sit & watch the TV! Beautiful views, would recommend to everyone, especially great for dogs that like to hike with their families!

We stayed in Sky Blue and it was perfect! The views are amazing, the hot tub is luxurious, and the cabin was delightful. It’s the perfect amount of space for two people with lots of attention to detail and little extras. Fyi, bring any pots/pans you may need, but everything else is provided! The space is clean and the communication with Kevin is excellent. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

The properties are beautiful and in the perfect location. The inside was beautiful and offered a lot more than we expected, they had several towels and the kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed the hot tub very much and honestly wish we had stayed longer. We are definitely looking forward to going back for more days of course.

I had a wonderful weekend at sky blue with my girlfriend!! The hot tub was perfect at night and even during the day. There was a nice hike with open land at the pastureland with a great view! The fire pit was perfect with more than enough of fire wood, I highly recommend!

My husband and I had a wonderful time for our 21st anniversary stay at Candee Mountain Retreat. The cabin was very clean, beautiful decor, an amazing view, and an awesome hot tub. Kevin was very attentive and responsive to anything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Romantic, hot tub, pet friendly

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.

You will be nestled on 14 pristine acres of forest, with two decks, your own personal private hot tub, and a spring fed creek not too far down the driveway. There is a gas fireplace outdoors on the porch, and an outdoor fire pit for your use as well. The house has a queen size bed in the upper loft, a large twin day bed on the first level, and an extra loft with camping mats if needed above the day bed. The house can comfortably sleep 3 and up to 4 or 5 especially if a couple of them are children or petite people. The house has a full kitchen and bathroom, living room area and two lofts. For now there is a composting toilet that is easy to maintain and we are happy to help you with it if you’re on the land for more than a few days. The main house is about 30 yards up the hill, and although somewhat close, you will have plenty of privacy. We are close if you need us, but we try to give all of our guests ultimate privacy. The house is under a huge magnolia tree, so it stays shaded in the summer and quite cool. There is an AC unit and heaters in the house as well. There is a personal hot tub, which is screened in, and located on the front deck of the house now. You will love it! There is a back deck that is only for meditation, yoga, and bird watching, and we ask that folks stay silent on the back deck if they use it. Pets are welcome at an extra charge of $40 a night. If anything is needed down at the house we are available. Much of the time there is a massage therapist on site, so if you are interested in getting Bodywork please just inquire about prices and availability. There is also a wood-fired sauna on the property, so if you would like to sauna please let us know. And an added bonus is that you are only 5 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and LOTS of great hiking, great restaurants, bars, coffee shops, art galleries and more. Asheville is 15 minutes from the tiny cabin and Weaverville is 10 minutes away. On any given day you might see a family a deer, turkeys or bears in the front yard. There is a spring fed creek on the edge of the property you are welcome to soak your feet in, and there is incredible hiking just a few miles away. You are welcome to explore the 13 acres of property as well that the home is located on. This is not a place for parties. Our neighbors are about 200 yards down the hill so we try to respect their privacy and keep it quiet. That is why we have made the back deck a retreat/silent deck. Maximum of 4 guests.

Smoky Mountain Sky Camp - Cosby

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.
