Casa Verde
1. Casa Verde
4.1mi from Knoxville · 1 site · Lodging
This house sits at the front of a private little eco-village, Dharma Village. It’s private, and there are no other houses visible around this rental home. It’s an old home — try as you might, you can’t get the old wood smell completely out — but it’s cozy and quiet. Your only neighbors are pygmy dwarf goats, who are far too busy escaping and causing chaos to care about the affairs of this house, which we call Casa Verde.
Much work has been put into this old home, though the porches still need upgrades, and adding a second bathroom is our next goal. It’s just a quick Uber drive to all the fun in Knoxville — 3.2 miles from the Tennessee Theatre. Parking is off-road and abundant, and there’s a fenced-in backyard for pets. A hot tub is on the way, and you can plug in on the property with permission from the owner.
We strive to bring affordability and peace into others’ lives and hope it returns to us here in these lovely woods, a short drive from the Great Smoky Mountains. New campground construction is underway. Dharma Village is a community that unites humanity with one another and with nature.

Crowley's Cove is your base station to the Great Smoky Mountains. Close enough to enjoy all areas around, but far enough away not to worry about traffic, noise, and people. A bit of an oasis secluded in the country. You still have easy/quick access to I-40 off exit 412 for travel in any direction. 30 Minutes from Knoxville and Sevierville, about an hour to Gatlinburg, Asheville and the Tri-Cities areas. Nestled along the edge of Douglas Lake, minutes from Dandridge, the 2nd oldest town in Tennessee and you are surrounded by the history. The campsite is approx. 1/2 acre fully fenced and away from the road. Just drive through the double gate and park directly in front of the camper. Our camper is a 2024 (brand new) Wildwood Platinum 22ERAS opening concept 28' travel trailer. The campsites are down the hill and about 35 yards from the house.
FYI, there is a wonderful Pizza and Wings restaurant just a couple minutes from the site. (Verardi's Pizza & Wings).
