Picturesque little valley campsite, right by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (and Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge tourist options). Clean and cozy tent cabins, wonderful staff that were very friendly and welcoming. We had a great time, it was the perfect home base to explore the Smokies and get outdoors and unplug.

This was one of my most memorable stays ever! This was a girls trip and all of us loved it, even those that arent "outdoorsy"! The staff was more than accommodating even to the point of starting a fire for us ahead of time so our tent would be warm when we came back from an excursion. The staff are available in the lobby for 24 hours. The tents do not have outlets but there are usb ports to charge your phones. There was no service in our tent but i did receive some service in the "lobby" tent. Another great thing the staff does is they have an area of maps and brochures and the staff are there to answer questions and offer suggestions on excursions: places to go, hikes to take, things to see and places to eat. BUT do not skip a meal at the small quick order "restaurant" in the welcome tent. I recomend trying at least one brealfast and one dinner. The food was way above any camp meal i habe ever had...it was amazing! The avocado toast on sourdough with microgreens and smoked salmon....out of this world!! The bathrooms were super clean. There are towels available, and even small heaters in each of the bathrooms. There is a hairdryer in the towel closet if you need one. The bathrooms are private individual bathrooms with a toilet and shower whch makes it nice to have a private, clean area to get ready in. The tents have a fireplace for those cool nights and it heats those tents up wonderfully. The staff restock your firewood and starters each day. Wish i could fit more!
The lobby has games and books and plenty of places to relax. There is also beautiful outdoor seating for smores and gathering including some nightly singings.
The avocado toast with microgreens and smoked salmon (there are several choices for protein)

Thought I'd try something different. The concept is unique, but the actual tent is a little spartan for my taste. I don't care about living out of the suitcase with no place to hang cloths up. No cell phone signal or internet but they at least tell you that. Pretty costly for what is offered. Just not my cup of tea but others may enjoy the lifestyle and being so remote. The staff was terrific, and the public shower area was clean and pleasant. The kitchen and dining looked nice but I didn't dine there. I hadn't been to Gatlinburg area for many years, and it is a real tourist trap now. I won't be back.

Disappointing stay.

This place calls itself a small luxury hotel. No luxury here. We had a suite - the amenities/furniture on the website are not what you get. No daily housekeeping. Apparently, it's available at the guests' requests, but no-one informed us of that. Room seemed dirty and we even wondered if the sheets were fresh at arrival. The staff is clueless in terms of service. No internet so you have to ask for advice, but most have no knowledge of local area. Restaurant is basic. No eco-water bottles. The drive is 30 mins to the national park and not much to do at the property. It could be wonderful with a caring, knowledgeable staff, internet at least in the common area so that one can plan activities outside of the camp, having a yoga instructor or hiking guide on site, better restaurant offerings. At a minimum, each room should have a map of the national park and a handbook of what is available to do in the Smoky Mountains since there is no internet available. I could go on. Very disappointing.
