The Lily Pad: Glamping with Sauna

1 site · Lodging8 acres · Weaverville, NC

Nestled in the lush Blue Ridge mountains, 15 minutes from Asheville, our eight acre farm was established in 1880 as a dairy and tobacco farm. Today it is a peaceful space where sheep and goats trim the pasture, ducks swim in the ponds, chickens lay eggs, and wild birds thrive. We are committed to a regenerative approach to vegetable gardening and land management. We continue to re-introduce native plants to the farm to create a health habitat for animal and human creatures. Inside the tent, you’ll find a very comfy full size bed, sling back leather chair, bookcase with a few of our favorite titles, and authentic cowhide rug. Nightly illumination is via portable solar lanterns and curtain lights for extra glow. The tent deck is a great place to stay a while. Watch the ducks, consider the moon, or step down onto a boulder and warm your hands by the fire. Turn on the twinkle lights. Actually grill a cheese sandwich. On chilly nights, the wood-burning stove will keep you warm and cast a wonderful flickering light. If you have never started a fire for warmth, this is your chance! We usually start the fire an hour before we turn in, get up once to add wood, and restart it in the morning to boil water for pour-over coffee and tea. As a glamping guest, you enjoy complimentary access to our sauna. The stove came from Finland, and the water comes from our very own spring. The sauna is great therapy after a long day of hiking, biking, paddling, gallery-hopping, beer tasting or wedding going. For cooking, we provide a fire pit with grill top, cast iron skillet, and basic utensils like tongs. Plates, bowls, cutlery, cups, mugs, are ready to go. There is a basin and dry rack for dish washing. A unique outhouse is just steps away from the tent. The outhouse is a replica of a scenic one-holer from Power Creek outside Condova, Alaska. Finishing touches include a crescent moon carved into the door and custom toilet seat art you will have to see to believe. There is a nearby carafe of water for handwashing.
