The space
Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean... -John Muir
For the weekend starting Dec 12th, the overnight temps will be in the mid 30s with propane heaters to warm the tents. This listing is rated a guest favorite for AirBNB. The reason is because all guests rated categories are 5 star, to include value. There are no extra charges for propane (used for deck fire pit and heat) and firewood.
The Tent: Enjoy a 16-foot canvas bell tent nestled among the trees of Cherokee National Forest that comfortable sleeps three. Inside, you'll find everything you need for your stay — including a queen-sized bed and twin bed, both with comfortable memory foam mattresses, a small table for playing games and drinking coffee inside the tent . Linens and bedding are not provided. Guests need to bring their own bedding or sleeping bags to put on top of the bed.

Thoughtful Kitchen Touches: Enjoy a kitchen area with all the essentials and a Coleman coffee maker--because we know how important a hot cup of java is on those chilly forest mornings!

Additional Information:
➤ We provide some basic essentials you'll need for your stay, including firewood, propane, cooking utensils, non-potable water for cooking and dishes and more. However, this is self-service camping site so you'll need to bring your own bedding/sleeping bags and drinking water. Additionally, you'll need to remove your trash and waste from the site when leaving. However, trash just needs to be taken to the bottom of the hill and placed in one of the trucks we use to take trash to the landfill.
➤ Please note that while we offer a comfortable and unique camping experience, this is still a tent inside the forest, so be prepared for the occasional natural visitor.

Guest access

Other things to note
This site is meant to be intentionally rustic and still feel like camping. It’s not true luxury glamping. We understand that these off-grid, self-service sites aren’t for everyone but we do our absolute best to set expectations for these sites before you arrive. If you’re expecting a luxury glamping experience, this site is not for you. If you want to stay on a unique private property, still feel like you’re camping and have no problem bringing your own gear, this is for you!
This site is off the grid, without water or electricity. Because of the remote location, we operate this as “self service”. This means no cleaning fees, however, guests are responsible for bringing their own bedding, drinking water and other camping supplies. Additionally, guests will need to clean the rental and remove their trash before checking out.
The tent sleeps 2 people in a queen size bed. Additional guests will either need to sleep on the floor or bring their own tents to sleep outside near the tent.
BUGS, CRITTERS & DUST:
Please also note that these style of platform tents are not completely sealed and cannot prevent critters or some dust from getting in. Please understand that this is still camping in the middle of the woods. You might have some bugs or dust in your tent, there is just no way to avoid this. The good news is the critters can get out as easily as they get in. When you arrive, if there are some bugs in there, please open up the doors and allow the breeze to carry them out.
