Within a 60-minute drive from the Oconaluftee Visitor Center.
The Sacred Oasis is located in the Cowee Mountains, 10 minutes from downtown Franklin. Offering 3 primitive creekside camping sites and a semi-off-grid tiny home! Both campsites sit creekside, giving a very tranquil experience~ The tiny home has electricity, a refrigerator, a queen-size bed, a TV with DVDs ONLY, water, an outdoor shower, and a composting toilet. I offer a VERY private camping/lodging experience; however, I do live on-site and will be available to answer any questions that arise. Or you may see me watering plants and feeding the chickens and goats. But I always respect my guests' privacy! Only 10 minutes from the closest grocery store and entertainment. Right next door is the Old Cardinal Gem Mine, offering an amazing, welcoming gem mining experience! There are so many fun experiences to be had in this area of WNC. It’s truly a hidden gem. While still close to town, the sounds of nature and (roosters) can be heard. I have a small homestead with some chickens and two goats. I'm always happy to introduce my guest to them. During the spring and summer, the plant biodiversity in this area is like no other! Have fun identifying all the different plants and mushrooms. -A composting toilet is available (located behind the Tiny Home), and the outdoor shower is available during the spring and summer months. Please follow the given instructions on how to use the composting toilet and outdoor shower. -Biodegradable soap, shampoo, and conditioner only. I will have some available. -If any questions arise, please do not hesitate to text or call me. Please bring your own camping supplies and water. There is no running water on the campsites. Do not use the creek for washing dishes! Garbage cans will be at each camping site. Please take all trash with you on your way out! (No littering) My WiFi password will be available for use. Cell service is limited. Quiet time: 10:00 pm *Fresh eggs are available for purchase!* (text me and I will bring some out) FYI: this land is not only sacred but it is a safe, quiet place to land, get back to nature, enjoy time with friends or in solitude. I will meet you when you arrive and give you a tour. Other than that, it’s yours to enjoy. And most importantly, always RESPECT THE LAND AND WILDLIFE.

The Sacred Camp
Jessica is an excellent host! She let us come a day early and took us on a tour so we could find out what we needed to bring. The site came with a lot of extras that we were not expecting. The campsite was perfect, and we are a family of 8. She took the time to give my grandchildren a tour of the farm and showed them how to feed the chickens and goats. They loved it! They even made up names for their favorite goat. Jessica also left me some fresh basil and dill to help me with my campfire cooking, I think it worked, the whole family ate everything. You can see the love and care Jessica has put into the Sacred Oasis. It really exceeded our expectations! Can’t wait to return!
