The space
The campsite is an all-weather tent in a secluded spot in the forest. There are no other tents or sites in close proximity.
This site features a memory foam queen bed and outdoor Chimney
This tent is 1/4 mile from the pond, barn, and bath house, guests can walk to the barn or use vehicles if you wish to use the indoor plumbing or kitchen. This tent, will offer hardly any road noise, mostly the sounds of nature.
The tent does not have power, but there are solar lights that will kick on at night and last until early morning. Additional camp lanterns are included at no additional charge. There is a private patio area with a fire pit. One bundle of firewood is included with your stay, but additional Firewood is available to purchase. If you wish to collect any wood or sticks on the property, please do so. This will help our clean-up efforts and save you some money as well! We do strictly ask that you do not bring firewood from another location. we do not want to risk spreading any diseases to the existing ecosystem that aren't already here. There are beautiful hemlock trees on the property, and these trees are part of a very delicate ecosystem in this area. These trees are at risk, and we take this very seriously.
There is a bath house with power and a hot shower located 1/4 mile from this site. Most guests prefer to drive to the barn and bath house. A composting toilet is provided near the tent for convenience. If you prefer indoor plumbing, you are welcome to use the restroom located inside the barn or bathhouse.
please be aware while this is GLAMPING, it is still a somewhat PRIMITIVE camping experience. the barn kitchen is available for use as well for cooking and storing food. Again, be aware that this is a shared space. Please label your items with a marker provided on the fridge if you wish to use the fridge.
There is a propane heater provided inside of the tent. The heaters are connected to 25lb propane tanks, and use of half of the tank is included in your stay. Please do not let the heater run unattended for longer than a few minutes (meaning do not leave the heater on while hiking or leaving the campsite).
We are a safe space for any guest regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. No one is discriminated against here as long as they are respectful to house rules, and other guests.
Other things to note
This listing is not suitable for guests with small children due to certain features of the tent that may pose safety risks. We recommend considering our Family Tent or Secluded Tent options if you are traveling with young children.
Please refrain from bringing pets. We have a livestock guardian on the premises who is highly territorial towards other animals.

My work: Numbers & Systems
Fun fact: I notice details others miss.
I am someone who notices details, values safety, and cares about how spaces feel to the people inside them. I enjoy a slower, more intentional way of living, and do so by developing systems to prevent burnout.
I enjoy nature and spend much of my free time hiking Bankhead National Forest, supporting conservation, gardening, and raising my children to live with authenticity.
