The space
Her name is "Lady A" and she is lux and romantic. Nestled close in the cedar grove forest, this A-frame cabin is the perfect place to unplug and connect with nature and each other. In this 200 sqft, off-grid glamping cabin, with its plush queen pillowtop bed surrounded by windows, you'll feel like you're sleeping in the great outdoors (minus the critters). Cozy up with a good book or challenge your loved one to a card game showdown.

Wash away your worries in your private bathhouse, complete with an outdoor shower just 10 feet away from your cozy cabin.

But let's talk about the real star of the show - the great outdoors! Lounge in the hammock, roast marshmallows in the firepit or gather 'round the picnic table for a good ol' fashioned cookout.

Forget about the tedious packing list for your camping trip! We've got you covered. We provide everything you need for your adventure, from linens to dishes, a 48qt cooler ready for your ice and food and a 2 burner campstove with provided propane.
Whether it's a romantic escape, a solo adventure, or a group retreat, our glampsites provide the ideal basecamp for adventuring and reconnecting with nature.

Guest access
Welcome to our slice of mountain paradise- Private (shared between just 4 sites) 75 acres of lush forest, bordering the Nolichucky River near the Smoky Mountain National Park. That's right, we've got nature's playground right at our doorstep, and we're ready to share it with you.

So, whether you are nature-oriented or a water-loving adventurer, we've got something for everyone. Explore the wild terrain, take a dip in the river, or just sit back and enjoy the symphony of nature around you, photograph the wildlife or kayak the river/lake. The possibilities are endless, and the beauty is breathtaking.

**❗️the floating dock (may-aug) is shared with 3 other sites (max 6 other folks). It isn't a far hike (100 yards) but it is spicy (steep) when you hike back up. Totally worth it! 🏞

**❗️kayak rentals are available at $10 per.🛶

**❗️all hiking trails are also shared with the 3 other sites (max 6 other folks)🥾

**❗️Sure, the short mountain road up to the cabin from our entrance/parking area requires a vehicle with clearance like a truck, SUV, jeep, and awd/4wd during winter/rainy weather. It's all part of the adventure! And for those unable to drive up, fear not - we offer rides in our 4 door Jeep. Or if you're feeling adventurous, take the short .15-mile hike up to your cozy cabin from our parking area**🚙❗️

Other things to note
❗️Welcome to off-the-grid glamping, where the only thing more refreshing than the crisp mountain air is disconnecting from modern life!
We're talking solar power for lighting, fans, and charging devices! Most Cellular Carriers get great service. **(no wifi, A/C or microwaves!)** ❗️

❗️the plumbing/water system is shut down in freezing weather to protect pipes!! But fret not, we still have you covered with water/showers!

Oh, and did we mention the marine toilet? Yeah, we're fancy like that. No more digging holes or using those questionable port-a-potties. You can now do your business in style and comfort.

**Sure, the short mountain road up to the cabin requires a vehicle with clearance like a truck, SUV, jeep, or bring your own ATV, it's all part of the adventure!
