Weekend Trip to Twin Valley Horse Ranch
Had a great time, Janice was the nicest host. The land was magnificent, we didn't have time to explore many trails or fish in the pond. However, we will be returning to more fully experience the ranch.

Awesome experience. It was our kids first time camping. They loved the animals and learning how to work with the mini horses. Janice and Jaden are phenomenal hosts and teachers.

I had such a peaceful time at Kimber’s farm. I really enjoyed seeing the horse and donkey while it still felt relaxing and quiet. Close enough to some touristy stuff but also felt adequately tucked away.

The host was very cordial and kind. She has a great deal of property there and had several other people come during the weekend however we were able to pull our travel trailer in a fenced area which allowed us to let our dog run free, which we greatly appreciated. This was the first hip camp we had ever stayed in and it worked out really well for us because it gave us the opportunity to be right in the middle of the things we wanted to see and do like Cade‘s Cove Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
She was actually hosting I believe a community scavenger hunt on our property and the other campers participated and had a good time with it. My husband and I just stayed within our little area because we’ve just recently gotten married and wanted our time.

Alessandra and Gianfranco were excellent hosts and provide a perfect camping experience for those looking to connect with nature but still have some of the comforts of home. As hosts, they were available and accommodating but nonintrusive. We booked last minute for a group of 4 families and they welcomed us with open arms. We had one overlanding trailer with a rooftop tent, one jeep with a rooftop tent and 4 ground tents. They have two great spots to set up camp, one in a wooded area with two toilets and a kitchen area and another with a toilet and outdoor shower, kitchen, fire pit, and teepee. We could have all easily fit in either space but chose the space near the teepee. We were all pleasantly surprised by the toilets… they were comfortable and easy to use and had no smell at all. Alessandra and Gianfranco cleaned them a couple of times a day. Be sure to bring your own toilet paper with you though! We are hoping to visit again this winter when it snows and we are already planning another group trip in the spring.

Oh my goodness, the hosts were incredibly kind and attentive to our needs. Our tent and belongings got wet after a heavy rain; the hosts helped us set up another place to spend the night. The farm was fabulous, with well-cared-for animals that my daughters enjoyed petting. The greenery produced delicious, rich-flavored herbs, onions, tomatoes, and beautiful flowers that we added to our table. The facilities were in excellent condition, down to every detail. The site had a mini kitchen area with a stove and a sink with running water. It also had a shower with hot running water, and the compost toilet was clean and comfortable. My family and I had a great time!

It was a great first experience camping with my dog. The camping area with completely enclosed. It had a canopy, table, fire pit and chairs which made the camping easier. Bathroom facilities were available at all times.

Everything went as expected. We wanted to disconnect and pretty much live off grid for a camping trip. While we did have phone service which was still a plus. We stayed in lake view cabin. No electric no modern anything. It is a hike up hill to that cabin. They say 5 min. I'm a older over weight lady so it took me a bit longer but my 17 year old ran up carrying stuff so definitely not to hard. Very peaceful and we do plan to return. We got to see a momma bear and 2 cubs about 2 miles from where we stayed so that was exciting too. Just remember your going to the mountains it is possible to see bears so be aware of your surroundings. But we slept with the windows and door open and had no problem at all.

A good place to spend the night.
Pros: Convenient location, excellent host communication, great to have a flushing toilet and hot shower.
Cons: The bathroom and basement "lounge" area are musty, a little cluttered.

Janice was so nice and very accommodating! We stayed at the same site with the shelter up in the hill. Primitive campsite and very private which we loved. Had fires both in the evening and in the morning. The animal life was wonderful! My 6 and 8 year old little boys loved seeing the animals roam around. Great stay!

We had a great time staying here in our van. The horses and donkey were sweet. The lynx was super cool. Kimber was very kind and graciously helped us out of some mud we got stuck in. We also had a great time getting to know her and some other campers around a fire. This is a very country set up - everything works but it's the opposite of fancy so be prepared for practical.

We had a uniquely great experience camping on Kimber's land. Our travel trailer rolled into the fenced in area adjacent to a sheltered picnic area and fire pit. The dog loved being off leash!
Kimber (Corky) was a fantastic host in every way. My wife had a memorable experience hanging out with Muzzle the lynx. The two horses and donkey were friendly and seemed to enjoy having us around.
I won't claim this is a site for everyone. It's a little rough around the edges. But, if you appreciate authentic character, you can't beat the Critter Camp.

Where to begin? Our whole experience was just amazing!! Janice is an amazing host that gives you all info upfront and what you can expect and what she expects from you! I took myself and my 3 littles ages 8,5,and 3 we stayed from wed and left sat! Well I tell you my kids loved it I mean they cried when it was time to leave and already want to book it again! The animals are so friendly they loved playing and help take care of them 2 a day! We did the mini workshop and the horse workshop and the 2 oldest learned so much and had a blast! Ms.Jayden and ms. Janice are wonderful and patient. The kids fished and caught 6 blue gill to which I cleaned and cooked and ate! The views from the primitive cabin are amazing! It is exactly as described so I HIGHLY recommend backing light! There is a hike but so worth it! My kids are electronic kids(as are most) but never asked for them never cried for TV or power there is so much to do and wore them out each day! I highly recommend getting back to the basics it truly is an amazing experience! Thank you Ms. Janice for opening your ranch! Thank you Ms. Jayden for how wonderful you are with littles and sharing your knowledge and teaching them about horses and how to ride! Thank you both for your patients in letting them help feed twice a day they will forever cherish our time there and haven't stopped talking about it to everybody that will listen! We can't wait to come back!

Pleasant space surrounded by farm and critters. Kimber (“Corkey”) ran out an extension cord so I was also able to charge my batteries. She is a warm and welcoming (and quite entertaining / funny host. I will stay there again if I ever return to the area.
