About this property

Tamarca Hollow, A Nature Retreat

Welcome to Tamarca Hollow, A Nature Retreat! We are secluded carriage house retreat located in the hidden hills of western NC. A 700 sf space (above our garage) fully contained with all the comforts of home....but off the grid!
The driveway is a wee bit steep and gravel. Front wheel drive vehicles may be challenged to get back up, (going up in reverse works great!) All wheel/four wheel is suggested. There is parking available on the street at the top of our driveway. We are happy to assist you with shuttling services in our car if you choose. The unit has a full kitchen, shower only bathroom, queen bed in the bedroom, a queen sofa bed and a spare twin roll-away bed too. There is no wifi/cell or tv signal down in the hollow, but there is a tv with lots of good movies, music CD's, games, cards and puzzles. We are 30 minutes to the nearest town! We offer our guests a simple supper all ready for you on your day of arrival for an additional fee. We include some homemade breakfast treats such as muffins, biscuits & Belgium waffles, there is also cereal, grits & oatmeal available and the fridge is stocked with simple basic breakfast items (local farm fresh eggs, juice, yogurt/toppings, fresh fruit etc.) And of course coffee, which we roast ourselves, local teas & cocoa. We're tucked down in a hollow of almost 10 acres of hardwood trees and two creeks.....completely secluded! There is nothing like a private creekside picnic! We provide a deluxe picnic basket for you to fill with your own goodies or we can fill it for you with gourmet local delicacies (for additional fees) We've cut in a 1/4 mile circuit in our woods for a hike or jog or just sit down by the cascading creek and enjoy the sounds of nature. We are dog friendly, however your dog must be kind to ours! We have 3 intact male dogs, a yorkie and 2 adult Irish Wolfhounds. They are very friendly gentle giants who roam free on our property.
Marc is an Wedding Officiant and we are now offering Elopement Services for our guests!

Peace and Rest!
I highly recommend a stay at this beautiful hollow! I cannot express how exceptional the attention to detail was- right from initial communication with Tamara and Marc, to the lemon infused water chilled in the fridge! The place was beautiful and clean. The bubbling creek can be heard as you fall asleep, or sit on the porch with a morning brew. We enjoyed a toured walk through the forest on the property with Marc. Then took a beautiful hike to a waterfall that Tamara recommended. All in all, a perfect getaway which we will be sure to return to!

Mini resort get away
Tamara and Marc have a beautiful above garage apartment that has been well taken care of. The extra touches they add make your stay like you are at a resort. Such a treat staying here for a weekend and escaping the rushes of every day life.

Great Get Away
Loved the location and the set-up of the carriage house. The DVD collection was a super treat for us. Any glitches with communication were probably due to internet connections . Marc and Tamara were superb hosts !

About the host

Hosted by Tamara or Marc

Host profile image
We are Tamara & Marc. We moved to the hills of western North Carolina after 21 and 35 years in Alaska. Marc retired after 31 years working with the TransAlaska Pipeline and North Carolina became our new home. We are avid outdoors people. We have 3 fur-kids who take up lots of our time. The 3 dogs are a yorkie (Farley) and 2 adult male Irish Wolfhounds,(Charley and Bob Marley). The roam our property freely and are the masters of their domain! They are gentle giants and sweet big boys...Charley is a rescue and is quite skiddish of new people but usually warms up in time and Bob Marley is a permanent foster who has adjusted well with our pack. We love being down in the hollow, secluded, off the grid and away from the rest of the world!

Why they chose this property

This property is just about perfect! Nearly every house in this gated community is built right near the street because people want the views. We built down in a hollow where our view is trees and creeks. We've cut in a 1/4 mile circuit trail in our forest for a daily walk in the woods or a jog for a hellava workout! Those hills are no joke! There are quiet serene secluded rhodo thickets near the cascading creek that is the perfect place to just breathe....lay in a hammock, read/write and enjoy a glass of local mead or wine. Autumn in the hollow is just the most beautiful magickal time! The canopy of tree colors as the season changes makes for a photographers paradise!

What makes this property unique

Seclusion, tall trees forest, creeks, wildlife.....what's not to love! Elopement services now available for our guests!
