Tenten in Blue Ridge Mountains

We had the absolute best fall weekend at "the Kayaker." We are already planning next fall. The tent had every amenity you could want and was so cozy (I brought a stack of blankets and never needed them)! The bed was so very comfortable. The lodge was much nicer than we anticipated and I don't think I've ever seen a campground bathhouse SO nice! We loved how private our glamping tent was but how easy it was to walk everywhere else. One night it drizzled and it was just so cozy inside our tent to play a game by lamplight with the little propane heater on. The fall colors were spot on and we were nice and close to hiking and mountain biking as well as an apple orchard, Wineries, breweries and shops! Can't ask for anything more!

Such a great spot. The property is beautiful, cozy, and has great views. The glamping set up was perfect for our needs. Having a real, cozy, blanket covered bed was amazing. Tent was spacious and we felt we had everything we needed for our trip. We extra enjoyed the amazing brewery / beer stop down the road called Whistle Hop. Tent came with electricity hook up and a space heater. We camped in some freezing weather and were beyond warm and cozy. There's a cute barn cat who stopped by but our jerk dog scared him off. Bonus points to the host who came out in the cold around midnight to make sure our electricity, and our connection to the space heater, worked after the heater tripped the breAker. Host made sure we were cozy and had everything we needed, even late!

Such a wonderful location! Excellent glamping. The accommodations are very comfortable and the outdoor patio was great. We had such a nice night by the fire pit! We can not wait to return!

I can't say enough nice stuff about the host and property! Even walking through Copper Hill was a blast!

Wow! Awesome place! We stayed here for 2 nights and had the most wonderful time having a campfire under the stairs, playing board games together, exploring (beautiful) nearby waterfalls and spending the afternoon in waterfall infinity pools together. Greg is by far the best host we have ever had - he is communicative, helpful, responsive, personable and goes out of his way to make sure you enjoy your time. The campsite set up had everything you could need - clearly designed by someone with lots of camping experience who knows what amenities make for the most enjoyable stay. The tent was spacious, the beds were comfortable, the shower was easy to use (and warm), and the kitchen set up was easy to navigate. Great stay where special memories were made!

Great stay at Stephen’s. He advised us not to use our non 4WD vehicle to get up to the site but we tried anyway because we arrived after dark. He told us he could help get our car unstuck and patiently did so. It was a serene place and we tried some of his distillery items, which were tasteful and great (no hangover!!). Friendly and loving cat who follows him around as well.

it was an incredible experience can not wait to return again we had a blast and loved it so much

Sarah and Kyle were excellent hosts! Very communicative, quick to respond, easy to work with. I was impressed at how thoughtful they were towards guests with all the little details and offerings in the tent and at the site. It cut down a lot on what we had to pack - particularly the wood!! The creek was fun, I loved spotting the fish, snakes, crayfish, snails, and other wildlife.

Super cute and clean. Just like the pictures. Will absolutely stay again.

Paps Glap is amazing. Just what we needed for 4 days 3 nights of relaxation. It is actually how it is listed. The tent was set up in away that was not only clean, but comfortable. We were able to fit 2 adults and 2 dogs with no problem. The out door kitchen was perfect and i loved how he used the existing trees to make the counter. The lounge area is perfect and we even managed to get in a game of corn hole. Now my favorite, the out door bathroom. I now want a outdoor shower. Lol. And all this is nestled in a quiet, beautiful part of Lake Hartwell. Paps, you said if i had any suggestions, and the only one i have is a doggie ramp to the tent. After several trips up and down to the lake, those last 2 steps were just to much for the old lady. Thank you Paps for giving us wonderful birthday weekend. He even but a happy birthday banner in the tent for me! 2 happy Glampers Melinda and Jodie ❤️❤️🤠

We had an amazing experience staying in the camping tent hosted by Deanna! The location is absolutely stunning, nestled in a serene spot in the woods near Shenandoah National Park. The tent itself was spacious, well-maintained, and offered a perfect balance of comfort and nature—luxury camping at its finest. Deanna was a fantastic host, ensuring everything was perfect for my stay. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a touch of elegance near Shenandoah. Can’t wait to come back!

A perfect little getaway! The elevated tent is clean and cozy, adorable decorated, and provides a comfortable stay. The deck is spacious, brilliantly laid out. Shower is hot and clean outhouse is spotless. The grounds are well-kept. The hosts are kind and quick to respond to any questions and concerns. They have brilliantly constructed the perfect off-grid experience! We arrived at night and found the solar edison and deck lights to be so inviting. *Bring your own portable goal zero/charger for phones and devices. The heater buddy was a huge perk. We appreciated the percolator and pots and pans for cooking our meals on the grill with side burner. The deck is an amazing space to share a meal and morning coffee, fire pit is perfect, and wood was provided. There are neighboring properties and occasional traffic sounds but it doesn’t make this space any less peaceful. By early evening, you’ll only hear nature. Wish we had more days to stay! We will be back for sure!!

We can’t say enough positive things about Glamping Retro! Not only was the property beautiful, but it was also extremely clean and peaceful! From the brook that lulled us to sleep at night to the cozy fire pits, this was the perfect place to unwind and relax for the weekend. It was also surrounded by tons of beautiful hiking trails. Glamping Retro honestly went above and beyond our expectations. Sharen and Tony were also exceptional hosts! They were quick to respond and warmly welcomed us with a cute chalkboard sign out front, as well as a sweet card and treats for our pup. We already can’t wait to come back and will be recommending this place to everyone we know!

We absolutely loved New Life Farm Glamping! The tent was so cozy and beautifully decorated, it truly felt like home away from home. The creek was relaxing and our boys really enjoyed playing in it and building with the rocks. My husband and I felt like kids again ourselves. We enjoyed the salamanders, crawdads and fish that we were able to spot under the rocks, it was a real life science lesson. We even had the chance to watch 4 fighter jets fly over one morning, incredible! Overall it was very peaceful and relaxing, the perfect way to camp with some of the comforts of home. The nights did get chilly but the wood stove provided ample heat overnight. (Honestly, I should have packed a little better for the cold.) We have already recommended this place to our friends that also enjoy adventuring and we would absolutely return for a stay.

We really enjoyed our time here, and even though we didn't get to utilize it as much as we would have liked. We came for a concert in Blacksburg and only stayed one night, and unfortunately we're away for much longer than anticipated. But the setup is amazing, the area is peaceful, and the bed was super cozy. We are already looking for a time to come back for a dedicated camping trip!

Came here for two night for our anniversary. Very peaceful, private, and met so many cute animals. One of the dogs became our buddy, will miss him a lot! The only issue was the power, in this tent the power is iffy, but Susan let us move to the other tent which worked great. Both tents are lovely. I don’t know is this is mentioned in the listing, but there is a gas heater attached to both tents, which was great since it was below freezing while we stayed. Had a great time and will definitely be back. Hopefully will be able to bring friends to rent out the other spaces as well!

Had an amazing stay at this Jupe! This is truly a remarkable find that’s value surpasses its price point. The Co-host Suzanne was more than accommodating and very friendly. This trip is definitely one for the memories bank. I would recommend this stay for anyone wanting peace and quiet as well as an adventure!

this was my second time here and I once again had a great time. i had to borrow the air pump from the Marina and I really appreciated not having to pay a fee and the Marina was more then happy to help. very friendly fellow campers in the RV at the top of the hill from the tent site. they were just as friendly and helpful during our first stay as well. honestly y'all have made us feel more then welcomed during both of our stays. my son is 8 and has special needs and can sometimes be loud or overwhelmingly friendly to strangers but never once has anyone made us feel like we were a bother and I can't tell you how appreciative I am of that. we will definitely be coming back. thank you for the hospitality of the entire Marina!

This was the most wonderful experience we have ever had. It was peaceful, our hosts were very accommodating, kind, welcoming and communicated rapidly. Anytime we had an issue (which was very rare if at all) they came by immediately. The plot of land the tent we stayed in is on is vast with a trail up the mountain, nearby bathrooms, a creek and rather easy to navigate roads. We came in a 2008 Volvo all the way from Florida and it powered through these mountain roads. There’s plenty of general stores and restaurants nearby as well. We are actively planning to come back in June and honestly want to move out here in the near future. Gatlinburg was 20 minutes away but we found the campsite and nearby experiences to be worth more than a day in Gatlinburg. Shockingly no bears were seen, at best we heard smaller animals at night. Firewood is available as well in large bundles for a fair price. We ache for this place everyday since leaving, by far the best experience of our lives.

this was such an amazing stay! Steven is a Great host- helped out with any problems & was quickly responsive. this was our first time staying in a foldable mobile home & it was so comfy. beautiful surroundings, plenty of room to explore & enjoy nature! He’s out in so much work to make this place what it is : amazing! Definitely planning to visit again one day!

This tent is the perfect place to escape to for a relaxing weekend! It was the perfect step up from camping. It’s also the perfect place to enjoy a good thunderstorm! If it’s a cold night, it does get a little chilly, but the space heater definitely helps and the comforters were quite warm! I definitely hope to come back again!

This place is a great place to disconnect without feeling the need to go primitive. We had everything we needed and more. We made good meals together, enjoyed the property, and our kids loved the zip line and hammocks!

If I could, I would permanently move to this glamp site. Debbie was super communicative and helpful throughout the entire stay; honestly, I cannot think of a better place to stay in Brasstown, especially if you’re going to the folk school (it’s so close you can walk). P.S. say hi to the creek for me
