Group trip

3 nights at Honeysuckle Springs Smoky Mountains

Pros- This place is peaceful. The view was mesmerizing. We really enjoy the pop up camper. The hosts were super responsive. They provided us with everything we needed to get to the site. The best part is that they have WIFI. Cons- Camp sites were way too close to each other. It was hard for us to turn on our music enough for all us to hear. All of our concentration was focused on trying to not be too loud. Since we didn’t want to disturb our neighboring sites. For those of you, who like the idea of Meet and Greet while enjoying the beautiful nature view, then this place is for you. The bathroom was super clean. It was good opportunity to get few steps in lol. But it was a little far to walk down in the middle of the night.

3 nights at GlampVentures- @ Nolichucky River

This spot was incredible! Amazing views to hike to in walking distance and the a-frame cabin was so lovely. Super clean and the host is the kindest soul. Offered to help with anything we needed! Will for sure be back!

2 nights at The Heart Center

This is a beautiful and serene camping spot. We stayed in one of the yurts, but the camping would have been fun too. The forest was full of spring flowers, and there is a beautiful short hike to a creek on the property. We have kids, and playing in the old school gymnasium was a big hit! We did do some nearby hiking, but our kids just wanted to go back to the Heart Center to play :). I also appreciated access to the dining room area. Being able to use a microwave while camping makes it so much easier! And we appreciated the coffee and tea Liz had ready every morning. What a treat! Liz was a wonderful host, and one of the best parts of our stay was getting to spend time with her. She is a kind and generous person!

We loved camping on Sarah‘s land. We rented the bunk room, which had four twin beds. The bathrooms were clean and the camp area is nestled in the mountains of North Carolina. We look for to our next visit.

Amazing as always! 100% recommend this beautiful place!

1 night at Honeysuckle Springs Smoky Mountains

What a delight! John, Judah and family have made this property so wonderful to unwind in a serene setting. The supplied bathrooms were spacious with great temp/pressure. Judah was so helpful with recommendations and a generous fire bundle of only 7 bucks. We were by the very little creek ,but up on the hill the views were beautiful. We’d love to stay up there next time. If you want to be out of the hustle of tourism, but still accessible to this side of the park, this is great and the family earns it!

Weekend Trip to Smoky Mtn Mangalitsa River Ranch

The owners were extremely grateful that we were willing to come stay even during a burn ban. The farm is gorgeous! The river noise blocks out any potential noise from other camp sites. I would absolutely come back and look forward to doing so!

3 nights at At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

Great place! Would recommend this place to anyone with dogs. Mine went in and out of the river all weekend, not worried about other people or them wandering too far. He was kind and helped find local hikes, brought fresh apples and cabbage. Will be back 100%

3 nights at Shoestring Creek Campground

We really enjoyed the seclusion and the starry sky. It's so much better than an RV city. We really would have liked to use the firepit, since it was so beautiful outside, but due to an area wide burn ban, it wasn't possible. We will be back, to hike more of the many nearby trails.

Flowertown Charm Off Grid Treehouse

1 site · Lodging23 acres · Canton, NC

Escape to a custom-built, 100% sustainable off-grid treehouse on 23 private wooded acres in Western North Carolina. Perfect for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and those looking for a romantic retreat, this unique stay offers long-range mountain views, an eco-friendly design powered by solar energy, a cozy wood stove, and fresh mountain spring water. Enjoy an exhilarating outdoor shower and a homebiogas toilet with a scenic view. Thoughtfully designed with handcrafted woodwork, a charming kitchenette, copper finishes, and plush organic linens, this treehouse takes glamping to a whole new level of luxury. Meet the Highland Cows Guests have exclusive access to our adorable Highland cattle herd—Moonshine, Martini, & Mojito, the "cocktail" cows. Enjoy hiking? Well perfect because there are hundreds of trails nearby because the treehouse is equidistant to not 1, not 2, but 3 Blue Ridge Parkway entrances and is in the Pisgah National Forest. The highest point along the entire route of the Blue Ridge Parkway is located near us as well at Richland Balsam. In addition the treehouse is on a scenic byway which connects to another scenic byway. That makes the drive just breathtaking, going by farms and forest and runs along the Pigeon River which also offers tubing and amazing fly fishing. If that's not enough we are close to Asheville, Maggie Valley, Hendersonville, and Brevard. We suggest visiting our website www.flowertowncharmoffgrid.com/FAQ if you have questions! WINTER BOOKINGS: Our driveway may be impassible during winter weather and we recommend snow tires, snow chains, and/or 4x4 during the winter months due to ice. We do shut down the running water during the winter to prevent the pipes from freezing. We will provide guests with 5 gallon drinking jugs with a dispenser to use, and the toilet still has water to flush. But the shower, sink, tub, hose, and bidet will be shut down during these months. If you want the true off-grid experience this is it ;) We do require guests to e-sign our rental agreement that we will email to you, and request a $300 security deposit hold (not a charge) that we will release upon checkout. This is just a precaution for us letting people we don't know stay at our place and respecting it.

Raven Ridge

2 sites · Lodging3 acres · Marshall, NC

James landed on the property in 2009, built a small barn and milked 3 cows for 3 years. Since then; he has been learning construction trades, planting trees and gardening the hillsides. In 2015 he was joined by Sofi, originally from Sweden and together they have three daughters. Together they manage a botanically interesting hobby hill farm and are happy to host travelers and seekers in their cabins. Hilltop was a joint project that James built in 2012 with a talented woodworker and friend in 6 months of saturdays for less than $5k. We have maintained the original vibe of the place, rustic simplicity and elegance a notch or two above glamping, well-described by the zen koan, "chop wood, carry water" Orchard House was built entirely by James from the block up to the roof, averaging 1 hour/day for 3 years or 1,000 hours. Some of the Hilltop photos are a bit dated, we have a more private outhouse behind the cabin, and have made a few improvements here and there. Reach out anytime for any reason. We love hosting and nearly everyone enjoys their stay.

Teepee Camp

1 site · Lodging20 acres · Newport, TN

Dear Spirit brothers and sisters, greetings with blessings. This 20 acres on beautiful rolling foothills of the Great Smoky mountains is any very private but very easily accessed spot. The whole land is aromatherapy with about 80% of it being cedar trees. There are three little 20 ft ponds. Land borders a small little unmarked old looking half paved half Stone road called , W. Turner Ridge road. The just finished 15 ft diameter TP is made of 8 cedar tree poles. This TV has granted and marble 1 in thick Stone floor. There is a 4 ft dirt circle in the middle for making a fire and the smoke exits out the covered peak. The only picture I can find is when the TP was being built and the marble and granite floor was not installed yet. The TV is in a nice private spot overlooking the neighbors pretty rolling Hill pasture. And on the other side of the TP about 100 ft to the east I have a 30 foot by 30 ft copper tubing pyramid built for meditation and sending out blessings and calming the nervous system. There are 2 picnic tables next to the TP with stone tops. You are welcome to hike all the way around the land. There are several trails cut through the woods. Plus the order of the 20 acres is mostly fenced and Mark with markers on the east side that's not fenced. About 50 ft from the TP is a small 10 ft tent TP that has a hanging bag camping shower and portable toilet. There are two cots in the TP with 4 inch thick foam mattresses. The two cots can be put side by side to sleep next to one another. Sleeps 2 ? The TP is $69 a night. Lake Douglas is only 2 mi away ,on Holt Town road going west. I have a kayak and a blow up raft for two . rent for $20 for half a day, each. There is also a nice sunlight 25 ft Camper here with a bed in the front and a bed in the back the kitchen and bathroom in the middle. Sleeps up to 4. This is a pretty private spot also about 900 ft from the teepee. Camper is $39 a night for 2. Has propane stove top and for heet. & Flushing toilet. Uses my rain water jugs of water to flush. But for #2 there is an outside toilet in woods 50 ft away. Has clothes line also. Teepee and Tiny also have clothes lines. Buckets for hand washing things. Rain water in Barrels provided. Has ice chest. The third rental here is a 10x20 ft story and a half tiny home with two lofts inside. It is about another 250 ft further across the land from the camper. Tiny home has three beds. One bed in each loft on each end, plus a single bed below. One loft has king size bed. Built only 6 years ago. Has kitchen with propane stove top, ice chest small eating table for two or three. With lofting 10-ft ceiling over table area. Bathroom toilet with shower stall in the rear for Spong baths. Also has a covered porch about 4 ft by 6 ft. This is in a nice private spot also with cedar trees on the back side and on the porch side overlooks a couple rolling hills which do you like to travel at the bottom of. Tiny home will sleep up to 6. =$69 W Turner Ridge road dead ends after about 3/4 of a mile after leaving Point Pleasant road. Then becomes a dirt road for about a mile across a small mountain Rd. Therefore this is a good hiking or mountain biking road with a fairly steep 100 ft area of the road. Once it turns to dirt road it is Forest with no homes. I am looking to buy a 12-ft or so Jon boat, but don't yet have it. Coming from interstate 81 that goes north and south on the east side of Morristown, go to the southeast at exit 12 on highway 160 which is a two-lane road. Go only about 6 mi then make a right on Holt Town road which is a two-lane road also. If you miss Old Town road you will come to a Dollar general about a half a mile down. Then you can fire supplies there and turn back around and go back North on 160 then you would make a left onto Holt Town road. Go only 2 miles west and southwest on Holt Town road then make a right on to Point Pleasant road then only 50 make a right onto west Turner Ridge road I am the second Stone driveway on the left which is only about 800 ft. 545 is painted with white paint on the left Cedar Post on the left side of the driveway coming in. But this post is about 50 ft up the driveway so it's hard to read the number that far away. During summer 10 miles away in Newport there is an outdoor park with an outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts and swing sets and monkey bars for children and picnic tables for picnicking. This is the new part City Park there is also a boat ramp five miles away my finger of Lake Douglas. It's a straight drive on Holt Town road to the boat ramp, which is right before you come to the big 400 ft long bridge going over the finger of Lake Douglas. Morristown has a big shopping mall with hey steakhouse on one end and in the middle five below store in Dick's sporting goods and on the outskirts of the parking lot of the mall is a Olive garden and a McDonald's restaurant. There is a really good restaurant about 3 miles ,called , CJ Papadops, which was started by a lady from Greece and her husband who is a local .Very nice people with super good food ! About $20 a plate Good ! Newport is a very small town but it does have a Walmart on the south side of interstate 40. In Newport is also a really super interesting Collectibles store. They must have a million dollars of antique collectible toys and all kinds of kitchen utensils and jewelry etc. It is on the north side of Newport on highway 321 that goes up to Greenville, TN. From there Greenville is only about 20 or 25 miles. I also have a badminton set and tennis rackets and balls. Also I am a natural health healer specializing in alphabiotics alignment. I was very ill for years after having a very bad back injury in the military , which rendered me unable to even walk. A spirit brother with a massive amount of Faith spoke life to my body and 3 days later I work and could walk slowly. Then I met a man that did alphabiotics alignment. As soon as he aligned me I was instantaneously twice as strong and could jump in halfway run! Therefore I determined right then I must become an alphabiotic aligner. I ask for a donation of $30 or more for this. It will help any and all ailments that you have. It opens up pinched up nerves at the base of the brains and allows the energy from the brain back to parts of the body that have been pinched off. Tent campn only $22. RVs = $30 and up depending on size due to driveway damage. 30 ft probably max to turn around. Blessings from your new friend Robert.

Grandpa Squirrel's Domes

1 site · Lodging4 acres · Andrews, NC

"There's no place like Dome." Grandpa Squirrel's Dome's sits on 4.1 acres at the base of Granny Squirrel Mountain in the foothills of the Appalachian's and less than 5 miles from the town of Andrew's North Carolina in Cherokee County. Highway 19 abuts the land providing easy access to destinations of your choice. These destinations may include white water rafting, tubing, hiking, cruising the Tail of the Dragon, antiquing, hitting the casinos, and any other adventure of your choosing. Of course, you may also choose to find a place to just sit down, relax, and enjoy the sounds and energy of the noisy creek that pulses along its western border. Perhaps a simple picnic along the banks, or maybe you'd like to feed the fish that inhabit and grace this land. Short History The Cherokee's called this land "Konehete", aka "The Long Valley Place", and it was thought of as, "Cherokee Paradise". They grew the Three Sisters (Corn, Beans and Squash), hunted the rich lands, fished its creeks and lakes, worshiped and gave thanks to the great Creator and to the spirits of the land, as well as the animals which inhabit it. The military removal of what remained of the Cherokee Nation began in 1836 along what we now refer to as "The Trail of Tears". It started here in Andrews, which at that time was called Valley Town. The first fort built along the Trail of Tears was Ft Delaney, all that remains today is the remnants of a stone wall, it lies nearby. Running along the western border of Grandpa Squirrel's is an always running creek which is fed by a mountain top spring as well as rain runoff from the surrounding mountains. Along the creek there are 3 geodesic domes (soon to be 5) which provide 250 square feet of living space within. The domes are furnished with a queen size bed, a small dining area and a place to store your things. Each dome also has a small gravel patio and seating is provided. Additionally, there are propane BBQ grills located at the outdoor community kitchen area, as well as potable water. This is also where you will find your coffee in the morning. Transparency and Setting Expectations: THE BAD There are no flushing toilets. There is an outhouse on site. To avoid trips to the outhouse late at night, each dome comes with a porta potty. If you choose to use the porta potty in your dome, it is your responsibility to transfer the waste to the outhouse and to properly clean it out. Cleaning supplies are provided. Granpa Squirrels is not secluded deep in the woods and off the beaten path., It abuts the main highway and there is a considerable amount of road noise. The road noise dies down at night but returns early the next day as delivery trucks make their way down the highway. With that said, it's also kind of cool to see packs of cyclists and car enthusiasts blowing past the property ready for another glorious day in the mountains of North Carolina.
