Weekend Trip to Redeemers Ridge Retreat

Probably one of the most beautiful spots we have camped at. Feels like the middle of nowhere, but is a short drive to Sparta, or independence. Halfway between Stone Mountain and Grayson highlands. Daughton park is 20 minutes away ( however the parkway was closed during our stay )

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

Blair is 10/10 honestly the best time we’ve had and will definitely be coming back again. She was very easy to get ahold of and helped us a lot. The place itself was beautiful and easy to explore down the creek. We would definitely recommend staying here

3 nights at TangleWood Creekside Campsites

BLAIRS PROPERTY WAS VERY QUIET AND PEACEFUL. WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL CREEKSIDE SITE THAT WAS OUTSTANDING. WE CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT OUR HOST, BLAIR. HE WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL.

Weekend Trip to Bee Hive on the Mountain w/ Hot Tub

Great experience! Was unsure what to expect from the yurt, but it was like a cabin. Great facility, clean and had everything we needed. Would certainly utilize this facility again! Great job Scott!

2 nights at Safe Haven Farm

Nice wooded area with a pond , clean bathrooms, picnic tables under covered gigantic gazebo wot fridge , bbq grill and a Blackstone flat griddle. Beware the road leading to the sites are very windy and narrow. Nearby Roan State park has amazing views of NC and Tenn mountains from the top.

1 night at TangleWood Creekside Campsites

Blair was such a generous host and the grounds were lovely! I stayed in a tent and appreciated the freshly cleaned outhouses, lovely creek, and the quiet, safe, and friendly spot to spend the night. Thanks, Blair for being such a thoughtful host!!

Weekend Trip to Redeemers Ridge Retreat

Amazing view all new setup very nice host i liked the site very well

Weekend Trip to Mountain Farm Camping & Glamping

My husband and I stayed at Christina’s place after an intense work, and it was exactly what we needed—peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful nature. We booked the Deluxe Tent Site with the 12x12 deck because I wanted space to organize my work materials and reset after our hectic schedule. The deck was spotless and perfect for that, and the bathroom was also super clean and comfortable to use. We really enjoyed making a fire and cooking meals outside—it was such a relaxing way to spend the evenings. Even our cat had a great time exploring and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere! Christina and her husband were incredibly kind and welcoming, and their land is absolutely stunning. We ended up extending our stay an extra night just to enjoy it longer. The view from the hill was breathtaking. We’d definitely love to come back when we’re driving through again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a restful and beautiful camping experience.

Weekend Trip to Dark Ridge Hide Out (Adults Only)

Host was extremely friendly and helpful. He had directions for hiking and biking nearby. We found him very accommodating and would stay there again.

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

The campsite “Buckeye Bank” was absolutely gorgeous. The grounds were very well kept, and the cleanliness of the porta potties was a very nice added bonus. The site was secluded, but easy to find. Communication with the host was quick and extremely helpful. Blair was a huge help in helping me pick the appropriate size campsite for our group and vehicles. I would love to camp here again and would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Linville area.

Weekend Trip to Mountain Farm Camping & Glamping

Incredible site and the Host were amazing! Hope to be back

Weekend Trip to Dark Ridge Hide Out (Adults Only)

A beautiful space in the mountains! I loved having enough space between campsites, and the amenities were always clean and easy to access. Curtis was a wonderful host! I look forward to coming back again!

3 nights at Mountain Farm Camping & Glamping

Tina and Joe were very nice! The property is beautiful, but remote! There is electricity and water, as well as very nice bathrooms, but if you're looking for a place that's quick to get in and out of, you may need to look elsewhere. The quiet nights were gorgeous and relaxing. I hadn't been camping in a long time, so there were things I didn't think about, but the location is close enough to Wilkesboro that I could pick those things up at the local DG or Walmart.

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

Love the site! We decided to go last minute and it was super easy and quick to reserve and pay. The indications on how to get there easy to follow. The site was clean and spacious. Just far enough from the next site to have privacy. Our dog loved to play in the creek (us too, we even did a cold “plunge” sitting with water to our armpits). Porta Potty were super clean. Definately recommand!

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

We loved our experience at Blair’s campground! Campsites weren’t super close to each other which was nice, it made us feel like we were alone in the woods. We stayed in the brand new safari tent, and it was very comfortable. Nice handmade furniture and the mattress that was very comfortable. The deck/porch was the star of the show, that’s where we hang out most of the time. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

Fantastic site at a fantastic campground. Blair has thoughtfully carved out some wonderful sites on his property. Very private and isolated from each other! Our site was right on the creek. There was clearly some storm damage but things are cleaned up and in lovely shape. We had a teardrop so didn't use the tent pads but I couldn't help remarking about how great they were! Very level! Getting across the creek was fine but will say the photo doesn't portray the incline into/up out of the creek. It's a decent grade you want to be prepared for. We did it pulling a teardrop so it's doable! Communication was great. We'll be back in the fall!

Weekend Trip to Firefly tent on the creek bank

We loved our weekend stay, it was the perfect setting for my 2- and 6-year-old boys to explore and enjoy nature. The river is beautiful, and we had the whole place to ourselves, which made it feel like our own private getaway. Inside, the cabin is cozy and inviting, especially with the wood-burning stove—it adds such a warm and charming touch. The kitchen is well-stocked, and the tent is even more spacious and comfortable than the photos. You can really tell that a lot of attention to detail went into making this place special. The compostable toilet takes a little getting used to, but there’s also a traditional toilet available on the property, which is a nice option to have. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back!

Weekend Trip to Dark Ridge Hide Out (Adults Only)

We loved camping on Curtis’s land! The creek site is beautiful, with space from other campers and also the serene ambiance & view of the waterfall. Curtis has created a very thoughtful and enjoyable space to have a relaxing camping experience. The bathroom and shower house is a short walk from this site, the fire pit & grill made cooking a breeze, and there are plenty of beautiful places to explore on his property, including the creek, waterfall and fish ponds. Thanks so much, Curtis!

Weekend Trip to Romantic, hot tub, pet friendly

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!!

Weekend Trip to Redeemers Ridge Retreat

Generally, our visits always create a review that showcases the location itself however, from time to time we have hosts that just go above and beyond. In this special Easter weekend visit at Redeemer's Ridge, we had the great privilege of meeting Linda and John. With amazing communication and great directions, I knew we were off to a wonderful start and meeting Linda at the RV site she greeted us with a warm and gracious personality. Also an Easter treat bag was given to us as well as important information about the site, the walking/hiking trails and the features of the site. Later on one of our hikes we spotted her from her backyard nearby and she gave us a radiant smile and a hardy wave... talk about being made to feel welcome! wow. By evening we had the pleasure of meeting her husband John, who was making the rounds to drop off firewood for us to enjoy once the evening was upon us. Meeting these two very special people made our visit so pleasant and we were able to enjoy a special Easter Sunday sunrise due to the them providing such a wonderful place to stay. On to the RV site itself. It is a work of art, truly. From the special 'Welcome' sign on the rock/boulder at the fork in the road between the two sites to the 'Scenic Sunrise' hiking sign that kept inviting us to make one more hike to the bench under the Pear Blossom tree along the road; the attention to detail is evident everywhere. You'll find a beautiful valley below to view and fully modern RV hookup sites.

Vintage Appalachian Airstream

1 site · Lodging7 acres · Elizabethton, TN

This Airstream has been to Alaska twice and all over the country. We bought it in 2017 and have lovingly restored it. It is mostly original. The only big change we made was to remove the "gaucho" couch in front and replace it with a homemade four-person dinette that makes into a queen size bed. Trail maps are embedded into the tabletop so you can plan your next hike.Learn more about this land:Come and stay in our vintage Airstream in the beautiful East Tennessee mountains. Experience a wonderful slice of mid-century Americana located near historic Elizabethton, Watauga Lake, and literally across the street from the Cherokee National Forest. Swimming, hiking, golf, NASCAR, boating, ziplines, paddle boarding, mountain biking/bike paths, fishing, kayaking, antiquing, classic cars, country music... you name it, we got it.We deliberately kept intact the wacky/vintage features of this 1967 Airstream Trade Wind trailer. It was in remarkable shape when we found it and we wanted to keep it as original as possible. The only major change we did was to remove the "gaucho" couch/bed in the front and built a four person dinette that makes into a queen size bed. The other two original bed spaces are only twin size. There is a folding privacy screen between the twin bed area and the front where the queen bed/dinette is. The dinette table has local trail maps embedded into it so you can see where you are and plan your next hike. This is the last year that Airstream used real wood cabinetry(either cherry or mahogany) in their trailers and it is still in very good shape. Please do watch your head in the doorways if you are tall. Historic Elizabethton: Must see the covered bridge! The cute old downtown has many shops and restaurants. On Saturday evenings you can get up close and personal with classic cars at the Cruise In (Carter County Car Club) from 5pm to 9pm. At 7pm on the same evenings catch a free concert at the covered bridge. Two gorgeous trout rivers run through Elizabethton.Area must see/do: This area offers a wealth of outdoor activities.

Fast reliable Wifi is included.Bathroom: The original mint green and turquoise bathroom is in the back behind a sliding door. There is a small closet for hanging clothes and a short shower with crazy vintage folding shower curtain. The "tub" is also tiny but kids would probably get a kick out of it. First aid items, towels, wash cloths, shampoo, shower gel, and hand soap is provided. We added an outdoor shower for those who don't like to crouch while they get clean. :)Clotheslines: There is one inside (between the twin beds) and one outside. Please don't hang towels on the fence because it will leave rust marks. Please don't hang bath towels on the little rack meant for dish towels because it is not meant to support so much weight. Thank you!Cooking: The original four burner stove and oven still work. There is a microwave, small fridge, toaster, French Press coffee maker and percolator, cookware, utensils, plates, glasses, cups, bottle openers, etc... Outside is a cooler for more drinks, bottle opener mounted to an upright, charcoal bbq grill and grilling tools, fire pit where you can roast weenies and make s'mores. Firewood is provided ($10 fee) as well as basic supplies like oil, salt, pepper, spices, sugar and creamer.Lighting: Coming up the driveway we have several motion-activated solar lights. Additionally, the patio area has electric lights on a timer, but you can control those. Inside the vintage light fixtures still work and we have updated the bulbs to LED. Each bed has its own light and charging station.Children: Please supervise your children. Beyond the fence is a steep drop off (which is why we added the fence). The firepit and charcoal grill are obvious hazards. There are 3+ playgrounds in Elizabethton. We keep chickens and, in some seasons, we can provide you with fresh eggs. Your kids can toss food to the chickens at our log cabin next door. For rainy days check out the Hands On Discovery Center and Fossil Site in Gray (40 min drive).Pets: You are welcome to bring one well-behaved dog. Dogs are absolutely not permitted on the beds, cannot be left unattended, or outside alone at night. We've provided a tie-out. Wildlife: We've got lots of wildlife so please don't leave any food or fish guts outside, especially overnight. A garbage bin is provided but if you've got anything particularly stinky in there just let us know and we will remove it. You may see deer, turkeys, raccoons, rabbits, possums, skunks, snakes, eagles, vultures, herons, coyotes and even a rare bear. Our cats might come to visit you but please don't feed them since we don't want to encourage them to hang out at the Airstream. They have lots of food always available at our house next door.Appalachian Trail Shuttle: We can pick up and drop off two backpackers only, or three if small or don't mind being squished a bit. $5 per person, per trip from the trail in Hampton or to/from Elizabethton.Site: The Airstream is located next to a winding mountain road that is generally quiet. However, there are neighbors who might have to mow their lawns or weed whack so its not always perfectly quiet or private here. Sometimes the bull frogs and tree frogs make quite a racket. There is a pond below, behind the trees, and they hang out there. We've planted a row of fast-growing evergreens as a screen from the road but the trees are still small.Parking: There is plenty of room for two vehicles (or your boat). The entrance to the driveway is at a sharp angle to the road so you are recommended to turn your vehicle around by the Airstream so that when you head out again you are not backing into the road. We have one security camera facing the driveway.

Wonderlust Acres

1 site · Lodging11 acres · Purlear, NC

The farmhouse served as Benjamin’s primary residence for six years, providing a never-ending source of inspiration and peace that most folks only experience a handful times in their life. In 2011, Benjamin moved to Boone and began leasing the farmhouse as a vacation rental.In 2018, he purchased the adjacent five acres (that he could not afford in 2004) and began to reclaim the land and creek from the scrubby, thorny growth that had settled on the dormant property.While the property transformed before his eyes, Benjamin felt as if he was discovering this place for the very first time. As he reveled in the excitement and pleasant exhaustion of working with the land, he became increasingly convinced that this special place was meant to be shared. Thus, the concept of Wonderlust Acres as a gathering place was born.More than a business, Wonderlust Acres is an expression of Benajmin’s appreciation for the spirit of the mountains and the endearing communities that they envelop. With the opening of Wonderlust Acres, Benjamin invites you to experience the enchantment for yourself.Learn more about this land:Located just 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Mountains-to-Sea trail, and just 30 minutes from Boone/West Jefferson/Wilkesboro, and nestled in a private, open-meadowed valley overlooking a noisy trout stream and large ponds, the timber frame barn is a 3800 sqft wedding venue with the 2 changing rooms which have been converted to 2 glamping rooms. Both are locked off from the main barn structure to allow use when no events are scheduled, and have separate private keyed access, and include streaming TV, a 2-top burner, mini-fridge, and fold-down small full sofa bed for 2 (larger people may need to bring a blow-up mattress/pad for more room to spread out!). There is a men's and women's bathroom with 2 stalls joining the barn and accessed from the outside, along with 2 outdoor showers for longer stays. Propane, on-demand hot water is provided. The other structure that can be rented is the pond pavilion (an additional guest fee is charged over 4 people to accommodate) that features 2 full-size outdoor mattresses, a camping stove, chairs, and large firepit and firecircle.

Dark Ridge Hide Out (Adults Only)

16 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents20 acres · Elk Park, NC

"Adults only" doesn't mean anything other than just "no children", so as to preserve the natural peace and quiet, and assurance that there won't be loud and unruly children on the property. Inquiries and booking requests received after 9: pm may not be answered until the next morning. Dark Ridge Hide Out, is a 20 acre parcel in the Blue Ridge Mountain's on the back side of the Beech Mt Ski Resort in a secluded quiet and safe community with less than a dozen homes in a one mile radius. Away from light and sound pollution. Except for an occasional passing vehicle "and often none at all from 10pm to 6am" all you will hear is the sound of the creek which runs through the lower section by the RV sites, cricket's and frogs at the nearby fish pond and only the light from the moon and star's in the clear mountain sky and fire flies. It is my home place with a tobacco barn and a big combination cattle/tobacco barn built almost entirely just by my Mom and Dad in early 1940"s. My parents and grand parents lived off of the land here and raised cash crops like cabbage, corn and tobacco, we also raised sugar cane and made molasses, we had free range chickens, as many as 50 honey bee hives and over 50 head of cattle, two or three hog's and of course a horse. There was four main fields; two for cow pasture, one meadow to grow hay "now Christmas trees" and the main one on my part where all crops were grown is where the camp sites are. I grew up helping with the crops and other farm chores, one was to go to the pasture and bring the milk cows in and do the milking every day before and after school, feed the hogs and chickens, gather the egg's, let the chickens out in the morning and close the chicken house in the evening to protect them from critters like opossums, raccoons and wildcats. This is where I grew up, my dad grew up and, near where my mother and both of my grandparents grew up. My house was built in 1905 the same year my dad was born. The campsites are on my 20 acre section section of the original 82 acres with the house and barns, the remainder went to my brother but now is out of the family. The section of Elk River with the Compression Falls "45 ft high" and Twisting Falls which is part of Pisgah National Forest is less than two miles from here, and an old logging road going around the mountain above the river for about three miles to another Falls "Elk River Falls, 65 ft high" is a great place to hike or mountain bike. You will be free to explore and hike any part of my property except the house and out building's. The pond's are full of Trout and Blue Gill fish that are like pet's they love little pieces of bread. You can feed the fish but no fishing.

Relics remain, with zip lines and bridges still running through the tree canopy and an old climbing wall. These aren’t currently in use, and cannot be explored, but they add a wonderland-like quality to the land.
