A rocky creek winds through the woods at the base of several hikable peaks hidden just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Wildlife enthusiasts are encouraged to explore, on foot or mountain-bike, anywhere within our 170 acres (or the adjoining 250 acres owned by the US Forestry Service off our Western border) and are likely to catch glimpses of turkey, beaver, deer, fox, eastern box turtle and the many species of songbird and raptor.
The location is convenient to tons of local attractions for sightseeing and outdoor activities as well as shopping, dining, even wine tasting. We would be happy to supply a comprehensive list of the various local attractions upon request but the following are a few of our favorite things to do within a short drive: visit Linville Falls, Caverns, Gorge and/or Winery; drive the Blue Ridge parkway; tube/kayak down the Catawba river; hike beautiful Crabtree Falls; cross Grandfather Mountains mile high bridge and explore the nearby towns of Spruce Pines or Little Switzerland. The scenic drives to Asheville, Blowing Rock or Banner Elk make them each wonderful day-trip destinations.

Hilltop Safari Tent
Wonderful getaway!
Second visit to Tanglewood Creekside and first at Blair’s safari tent. Gorgeous setup on a remote hillside. The safari tent is definitely glamping at its best! Two twin size beds and a bunk bed, each with partitions, leave ample space for a couple or a family. Camp host is friendly and accommodating. Campsite or secluded and quiet but still only a short 15 minute drive to a town. Can’t wait for visit #3!

Creekside Safari Tent
Creek side safari tent
Blair’s place was just what we needed for our one night getaway. The fire pit, picnic table, and direct access to the stream were all great perks. Blair met us upon arrival to show us to our tent and was very responsive. We will be back!

Private, peaceful & well conceived
Blair has done a fantastic job with his property! Our spot was super private and just as described. He also made sure we were taken care of for our stay. Would recommend 100%!
