Good Egg Tiny Home & Remodeled Barn

45mi from Bean Station · 4 sites · Lodging
When you go to sleep, there's no light except the moon and stars, no refrigerator or central heating or air conditioning noise -- only the sounds of nature -- the stream, crickets or frogs in the nearby pond, dogs or coyotes in the distance. Without the glow of a nearby city, the hot tub on a clear night, the skies are dazzling.
Speaking of which, the wood-fired hot tub is made by a company called Snorkel. It's perfect for 2 and can fit 3, although tight. It's Japanese style hot tub bathing, meaning no chemicals. Also, since we're not grid tied, it relies on a firebox heating fresh spring water, which you fill it with. It takes approx. 35 minutes to fill the tub and between 3 and 3.5 hours to heat (longer when it's really cold!). There's a thermometer in it, so as it gets closer to your liking (don't let it get over 102 degrees), let the existing logs burn down, choke off the air vent sleeve and hop in. With no pump sounds and the stars above, it's incomparable. The $50 fee (per 2 night rentals) covers thorough cleaning between guests and split firewood.
You will be very comfortable in Little Good Egg, even in extreme weather, simply by paying attention and taking more time for simple tasks. It sounds corny, but there is a meditative quality to thinking and doing things like heating water, keeping warm, staying hydrated, eating well and choosing to do what you really want. I'm always amazed how busy I am -- and how different this kind of busy feels -- without electronics and my technological "time savers." Odd as it sounds to say this, it's stunning and wonderful to go "offline," even for just a day, and not get hit by little chirps and incoming messages that seem to arrive now 24/7.
Note: Since we opened in October, 2014, guest reviews consistently tell us us best thing about staying at Good Egg is being off the grid and the treadmill of modern life, unplugging from the dominant culture and experiencing oneself as humans did 100 years ago and more.
Whether it’s the absence of electricity (in the cabin), the quiet of the country, no city glow in the night sky, or the once common experience of the natural world dominating over human-made or human-crafted things, it’s astonishing for many of us to see and feel and experience without constant communications via text and email and the distractions of modern life. Many people write that they’ve learned an enormous amount about themselves, about homesteading or permaculture, and about alternate ways of being.

The location is very convenient to the National Park, the main drag of Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg. We spent 3 nights here with two full days devoted to exploring the park. We enjoyed the full hookups for our Class B van and took advantage of the shower rooms. It is compact but very quiet - perhaps surprisingly so. Great value overall.

The camp provided everything we wanted. It was close enough to Pigeon Forge to be convenient, yet fairly secluded. The water, sewer and power were great, and even WiFi access. There's a nice fire pit area with chairs and games. The road up is kind of steep and a little tight, but we made it fine pulling a 19" trailer. The lot is sloped a bit, so bring some decent levelers if you need them. There were a few cement blocks there, which helped. Overall, we we very happy with the setup and will definitely be back.

If you're looking for a no-frills yet convenient place to stay while exploring the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area, Holy Smokies Campground might be just what you need. This small, low-key campground has all the essentials for a pleasant stay, including full hookups, level sites, and clean, new shower facilities. While there aren’t fire pits available, each site features a table and chairs, perfect for enjoying the great outdoors and unwinding after a day of adventures.
One of the standout features of Holy Smokies is the seamless arrival process. Before our trip, we received a text detailing our assigned site along with door codes for the shower houses and laundry. There was no need for a traditional check-in, which made our experience even more smooth and hassle-free.
Upon arrival, we encountered a minor issue with the water at our site. However, reaching out to the Host proved to be easy; they arrived promptly and resolved the issue in minutes. It's clear that the Hosts are dedicated to improving the campground and ensuring guests have an enjoyable stay.
We were assigned Site 2, conveniently located near the access road. While this meant occasional noise and headlights, the campground has installed a privacy fence that mitigates some of those disturbances. The site is level and offers a mix of partial to full sun.
Recommended for a budget friendly, convenient location to local attractions.

This place is so cute and was perfect for us, our 3 year old, and our dog. Our son loved the tiny home, calling it, "my house". The house is thoughtfully designed making the most of the such a small space. We had everything we needed and more. We are used to primitive camping so it was nice to have more accommodations available like shower, stove, dishes, a Keurig & microwave. It's only about a 25 minute drive to Gatlinburg with a Walmart down the street as well to grab some groceries or extras you may need.

Incredibile little place! Nestled in the trees this place has brought the peace and nature I needed to recharge. There is a cute club house with MKII and snacks. The tiny home itself is impeccable and decorated so cute. The owners are responsive and kind. The staff is wonderful. 10/10 will stay again. In fact, I extended my stay 2 days!!!

With pets
The wife and I loved it. Although you could hear people from nearby houses, it still felt private. Beware of the driveway if you’re in a car. There was a spot that i was thankful to have a truck and my camper is an off-road edition or I would not felt comfortable driving across it. The large rut was due to wash from heavy rains. Once at the site. The area was tight to maneuver a 20’ camper around. Overall we look forward to returning.

13 ft travel trailer
With kids
This was a great and private site. As others have said, the layout was a bit tricky. We wished the gavel and utilities reached back to the cozy fire pit, but a larger group would probably like being more spread out. It was also hard for us to reach the water and electric as we were trying to stay on the most even part of the parking area (the larger gravel parking area was pretty slopped) and our pop up tent would have hit the electrical wire above if we were any closer. (See picture). So we relied on our solar and never plugged in. Our trailer is only 13 ft and turning around was tricky. We knew this from other reviews, but the driveway was a bit washed out and steep, so 4 wheel drive was necessary. If you know these in advance, this is a great place to stay.

It was small but easy to find things. The showers are newer and very clean. I like it when the shower and toilet are together for ease.
They were responsive as we needed a place quickly last minute since we were passing thru. They were accommodating and easy to work with.

This was an excellent place to camp. Very close to Smoky Mtn Nat’l Park (as well as Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge for those that desire that type of experience). The land was private but not isolated (there were folks a good ways down the road). Directions were clear. Olivia was responsive. We loved the lights, fire ring, and yard games. We tent and RV camp frequently and this was a much better experience than any campsite we’ve stayed at given its amenities and privacy. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

20 ft Class C
Really quiet spot with lots of green space surrounded by trees, with a relaxing fire pit area. Host provided firewood for the fire pit (was wet from rain, but still appreciated!) The chairs and solar lights were comfy/cute and we talked about copying the setup for our yard at home. The approach did have some limbs that scraped the side of our RV (someone else mentioned this so we knew) on the approach road. It’s a narrow road so there really wasn’t a way to avoid them. Once there, we had just enough room to get into the spot (20ft class c Rv). We did struggle a bit to get level. Super fast wifi and no issues with using the hookups, though they were kind of spread out, so we had to move the rv to reach the sewer as we prepared to head out. Overall we would recommend and will be back!
