Ben and Christine are great!! This is a beautiful property and if you love being in the mountains this is for you. I was hoping to slow down and reset during this trip. I was able to do that and more. If you’re looking to pretty much get off the grid, this is a great option. Grateful that Ben and Christine have shared a part of their property for others to enjoy. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did!!

The place was super cozy and clean. The property owners offered great communication the entire time and made sure we were comfortable. When the owner found out we were going to a wedding she put in a bigger mirror for her to get ready with. The place is in a beautiful location to get away and enjoy nature. Definitely recommend!

Christine was an excellent hostess! The property was very private and peaceful. The camper was very clean and the outdoor area was perfect. My son and I used it as a home base to explore the area. Bryson city is right down the road, Cherokee is a short scenic drive from the camper and so are the blue ridge parkway and Smokey mountain national forest. You’ll drive through miles of kayaking and rafting opportunities on your way to the camper. The owners will help you get your things up to the camper if needed. Will definitely stay again when we’re in the area!

Unique, serene, off the beaten path

My girlfriend and I had such a wonderful time here! The camper was clean, had exceptional amenities including outdoor cooking station, and many spaces to just sit and enjoy the nature that you're immersed in. Very private, quiet, and cozy. I really appreciated that our hosts drove us and our luggage/supplies up to the camper, and back down when we checked out. Be ready for a steep, but short hike back down to your car - for us that was part of what made this stay unique and fun. I'd definitely stay here again when I'm in the area. It was a very short drive to the Ledbetter Creek hike and the Nantahala Outdoor Center, the reason why we traveled to the area.

Nice and quiet.

Nice little place in the woods. If you want something secluded, private and quiet like we did this is a great spot. The gravel road is a little steep getting in and out but the owners will gladly give you a ride in and out if need be. We drove in and didn't need to walk the trail so I can't comment on that. Outdoor kitchen and fire pit are a nice touch. We'll probably go back and stay longer.

This stay was nice. There are a few houses nearby, however it is still pretty secluded. The camper has everything you would need for a successful stay. We didn’t need to use everything provided since staying for one night. Ben and Christine are very nice hosts.

Awesome stay in RV

My son and I had a wonderful adventure staying at the RV. Everything was perfect and anything that you needed to cook excellent meals was accounted for such as pots, pans and outdoor grilling options. The RV was very cozy and an exoplanet to unwind

Private camping in like new camper

The campsite the host has built is very nice with a rock covered area with a fire pit and an attractive outdoor mat. A large rain proof roof shelter covers the camper and the outdoor kitchen. Outside grill, stove, toaster oven and refrigerator. The camper is like new and was very clean. The camper is on a full hook up. The site is completely secluded. The road up to the property is Wayah rd, it follows the Nantahayla river and is one of the best drives around. I spent 5 days and put 700 miles on the Indian Scout, riding the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway and much more.
