Escape to a private, luxury glamping retreat designed for slow mornings, cozy nights, and total relaxation.

Located near Hendersonville & Asheville, The Perch is one of three tents at our boutique camp, Wheat Creek Outpost, perfect for couples or book the full camp for a unique group getaway.

Enjoy a king bed, full bathroom, AC, and a kitchenette for coffee and light meals. Unwind on the screened porch, dine outdoors, and end your evenings by the private fire pit under the stars.

The space
The Perch is our largest tent and provides the most authentic-style tent camping experience, perfect for guests who want to really connect with the outdoors. It does have heat and A/C and is fully climate controlled, but on beautiful days, you can open the whole tent up and let the mountain air in. A large Serengeti-style canvas door leads out to a covered, screened-in porch. You can even roll the screens up if you’d prefer it wide open.

Outside, you’ll find a dining table and two Adirondack chairs, perfect for meals or just relaxing. The Perch also includes its own private fire pit, ideal for unwinding under the stars.

The Perch is a drive-up tent with parking for two cars right at your entrance, making it super easy to unload and settle in.

Fun Fact: This tent held its ground through Hurricane Helene without a scratch. That’s how durable and top-of-the-line our glamping tents are, built to handle the wild, so you can relax in comfort. We're pretty proud of that.

Guests are also welcome to enjoy Wheat Creek Lodge, a shared space featuring games, a cozy lounge area, and a camp store stocked with snacks and everyday essentials. There’s always a fire going in the winter to keep you cozy. You’ll also find our specialty coffee station, where you can whip up a latte, cappuccino, or espresso just the way you like it. Though a coffee maker as well as a drip coffee option is provided in your tent as well.
