Glamping Tent Nestled in the Forest
in Greenheart Place, North CarolinaPeaceful glamping getaway
Greenheart Place really is a special place and Ruthy and Phillip are special people! The campsite, glamping tent, and lodge were all immaculate. One of the things that I don't like about camping is hauling up a wet campsite in the rain, and I'm batting 1.000 lifetime on rain-camping (even when I pack an umbrella and rain jacket!). The glamping tent is my new insurance policy. We packed a cooler, kitchen, and clothes, and were all set. The tent is very spacious and has a front room and back room, with a divider wall you can zip open/closed for privacy (and late sleepers). The camp chairs in the front room are comfy and I lingered there a lot, just relaxing, reading, and drinking coffee. The beds are also comfy, with nice linens, blankets, and pillows, and a great little dimmable electric lantern on the nightstand. I slept like a baby every night. Just off to the side of the site and up a few steps is a large fire ring and picnic table, with a great view of the forest. The setting is private and quiet but still easy to get to. There are many great hikes you can take directly from the camp site or within a short drive by car, but my favorite is the hike through the Rhododendron Tunnel and up to the top of Max's Patch, a spectacular bald with a 360 degree view of the NC and TN mountain ranges. It's also only a short drive to Hot Springs, a fun little town right on the Appalachian Trail. I would recommend printing off a google map to the longitude/latitude coordinates you'll receive, as cell/GPS coverage will likely be spotty at best. The bathrooms/showers in the lodge are super clean and luxurious, and the gardens/flowers around the lodge make for a nice peaceful walk. When the inevitable rain came on the morning of departure, I sat and read a little more while the rain tapped peacefully on the tin roof structure protecting the tent/site. Reluctantly, we finally popped open the umbrellas and decamped, dry as a bone.
