We are the coolest little campground in WNC. 3feather Sanctuary is tucked away in the amazing countryside of the Appalachian mountains, surrounded by beautiful, stately trees and a creek meanders through the property. We have all the amenities and yet retain the rustic natural charm of the majestic mountain town. We have an amazing bathhouse(commonground) with the best shower, communal fridge & honor system w/d, tucked beside a convenient outdoor covered kitchen, we have fiber WiFi, & swimming hole. This is the perfect peaceful getaway near great outdoor activities and some of the best that North Carolina has to offer! 3Feather Sanctuary is surrounded by beautiful, stately trees and has a creek meandering through it. The closest town is Hot Springs, which is 20 minutes away and the Hot Springs are a definite must-see if that peaks your interest! The town itself is also pretty cool. There are some good shops, restaurants & our favorite hardware store!! Downtown Marshall is also close, about 25 minutes and has a lot to offer! Gr8 restaurants, thrifting and cute shops along the river. Our property is about an hour away from the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the adorable city of Asheville - which makes for a fantastic day trip with delicious restaurants, breweries, cool shops, and more! The Great Smokey Mountains and Deep Creek are about 1.5 hours away from the campsite. The Appalachian Trail is closeby and there are countless opportunities for stunning hikes. There's also kayaking, tubing, white water rafting opportunities as well as zip lining and horseback riding. There is something for everyone to enjoy and we can't wait to share it with you! Full disclosure: We have a camera pointed at the entrance and one at the bath house door, which we can move around to make sure that when people check in they make it to the right spot since I manage remotely part of the year. We have regular yard maintenance, however, we are Country natural landscape, not parking lot type campground, so the grass is slightly higher in some small areas but truly those things are part of a sustainable and uniquely beautiful camping experience!

***Tipi is only available during the summer season for now*** Step into the magical Tipi. Our authentic Sioux-style tipi was handcrafted by a small group of artisans in Bend, Oregon. Gaze up to view the lodgepole pine tipi poles as they interweave each other to hold up the organic canvas hand painted by a Native American person. Mixing the vintage with the modern; Relax on the Queen sized pillow top bed adorned with organic cotton sheets & finished with a vintage appliqué quilt, enjoy the flat screen tv hooked up for ur streaming convenience utilizing our fiber wifi. Enjoy the cool mountain air or turn on the air conditioner if needed. Listen to the sounds of the waterfall and meandering creek located beside the tipi. Sit outside and sip fresh brewed coffee from your private coffee maker. 3Feather Sanctuary is surrounded by beautiful, stately trees and is located on a creek. Our property is about an hour away from the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the adorable city of Asheville - which makes for a fantastic day trip with delicious restaurants, breweries, cool shops, and more! The Great Smokey Mountains and Deep Creek are about 1.5 hours away from the campsite. The Appalachian Trail, Hot Springs & downtown Marshall are just 20 minutes away and the Hot Springs are a definite must-see if that peaks your interest! There are countless opportunities for stunning hikes, as well as kayaking and white water rafting opportunities only 20 minutes away. There is something for everyone to enjoy and we can't wait to share it with you! We bought this property almost 20 years ago wanting to build our dream. Building the road, carving out RV spots, and completing the common grounds and bathhouse over the last couple of years has been an amazing journey. Added a glamping Tipi this summer! Sharing this space and getting ready for the next phase - creating a stage for hosting music festivals - will fulfill our dream! Depending on the season we, your hosts, may or may not be on site. However, we are happy to help out via Hipcamp messages if we are not on the property! We hope you enjoy listening to the sounds of the creek and waterfall in the mountains as much as we do!

Quiet setting. Saw a lot of deer and squirrel. No light pollution at night, we spotted over 13 satellites in the night sky the first hours of star gazing. The hosts were super friendly and accommodating. The awesome shower and wifi were an added bonus.

Super easy going hosts and exceptionally accommodating and beautifully tended property. The bathroom was nice, everything well kept and clean. We only stayed one night but next time it will be a few days for sure.
