The Heart Center, a retreat for the mind, body and spirit, sits on 30 acres of beautiful forest land and it is surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest.
The place is an old school site that was literally left to be buried by the forest, until I came along and decided to fix it up, and create a holistic sanctuary
for people wishing to get away from it all. It is now a historic site and a place where one can heal, contemplate, re-energize, and relax in a quiet and pristine environment.
Feel secluded enough to experience your own inner stillness; and, yet, connected enough to enjoy many beautiful area attractions that are just minutes away such as: Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, Fontana Dam and the Appalachian Trail, 20 Mile Ranger Station, Cherohala Skyway, and Santeetlah Lake!
The Heart Center is about love, unity, harmony, joy and re-connecting with ourselves, others, and Mother Nature.
At the Heart Center, we take special interest in providing our guests with a uniquely peaceful, positive, comfortable, restorative and joyful experience!
Whether you are laying on a hammock, walking the labyrinth, or just sitting on the deck taking in the sights and sounds, we want you to enjoy.
We offer holistic energy healings, using various modalities such as Reiki and Non-dual Kabbalistic Healing. We also offer Life Coaching, Infrared Sauna, foot detoxification, and yoga, including asana exercises and meditation. Please speak with Liz to get additional information on this or to schedule a session. There are additional fees for these services.
Also, checkout the original gymnasium where there are hot showers, clean bathrooms, basketball or pickleball and ping pong. We also have a tennis court and The Sacred Choice Cafe, where you can enjoy a cup of tea, coffee, or snacks. You can sit and read for a while or check out our guest Peace and Oneness Book!

My late husband and myself bought the property in 1983 and it was all just overgrown land!We worked, cleared, built horse shelters/barns, cabins, cut trails, built the outdoor chapel for our wedding and of course fenced it all in for the horses! Started sharing with guests in 1993, so we have met so many amazing folks from all over the world! Pass thru our gate into another world and leave all your worries and tensions behind. We are all about getting back to what is real -- nature, animals/horses and each other. Complete privacy!There are many mountain trails leaving right from our property! Lots to explore. You can even hike to the outdoor chapel with the pretty view of the Chilhowee Mountain range. It is a short hike to the barn area for those who want to spend time rubbing the pot belly pigs' tummy, walk the mini horses, groom the love bug~Junebug (donkey), pet horses, cuddle with bunnies and feed chickens! Every morning and night we set a time for all those who want to become involved with the care/feeding of petting animals and horses!

1 night at Little Barn Cabin At Fowl Territory
We stayed in a really cute, small barn-style space that clearly had a lot of handmade character and charm. You can tell a lot of it was built with a personal touch, which gives it a unique feel. That said, the ladder leading up to the loft was very petite and a bit difficult to use. Overall, it has potential and a lot of charm! We loved the plants and garden.

Sarah's little farm is wonderful! We had such an amazing trip. We set our trailer up next to her barn which has electric and water. We had a view of the empty fields behind her property, just beautiful. We were able to help with milking the goats and feeding the babies too! Sarah was the nicest host and very laid back. Our 5 and 7 year olds had the best time! Sarah even played a little ball with my son. This was exactly what I needed after a stressful few weeks. I can't wait to go back!!

The directions to this site were easy to follow and the privately maintained gravel road was very well kept and easy for our cars.
Peaceful open area, we were the only campers in the lower area the weekend we stayed so it was very quiet. The neighboring sites are fairly close together though separated by brush and trees.
Nice river front site, we could access the water but had to climb down the bank and some of the rocks were loose so just be careful not to fall in.
Patrick was so kind, he stopped by on our first and last day and even had treats ready for our dog. We will definitely be back.

Andrew's sites are genuine camping experiences, basic but surrounded with the sounds of the creek flowing over rocks, a large field perfect for dog walking, a very steep road to the upper sites that we found was great exercise. We took a very small camper up the winding roads and drivers should note that there are narrow sections with no safe, pull over spots in case one meets traffic coming at you. We solved that by leaving at dawn when it seemed likely we would not meet traffic coming our way. We look forward to returning and felt sad we had to cut our reservation short this time. Thank you, Andrew!

Wow, this property is an absolute gem! After a grueling week of traveling, we desperately needed to unwind and found the perfect place to do so. Nestled in the serene field, our truck camper provided a sense of seclusion and tranquility. The breathtaking views were simply awe-inspiring, and the host was incredibly accommodating and friendly. The morning after our camping trip, my son spent hours playing with the adorable baby goats, which was a delightful experience for both of us. We couldn’t express how much we needed this place to rejuvenate our spirits. It’s definitely on our list of places to return to the next time we’re in the area.
