Foxfire, Luxury 2BD 2BA Authentic Safari Tent, Upscale GLAMPING among the Trees
🦊 Foxfire – A Luxe Safari Tent for Two Couples or the Ultimate Double Date
When the daily grind gets too loud, Foxfire offers the perfect escape—where the crackle of a fire pit, birdsong in the canopy, and a private hot tub under the stars await. Designed with two private king suites, this upscale safari tent is ideal for two couples or a double date getaway looking to unwind in style.
With walkable access to two other luxury safari tents—Serengeti and Swallowtail—Foxfire is also great for small groups who want to stay close, but still have their own space.
✨ What Makes Foxfire Special?
Living Spaces
This tent blends the wild and the refined, with butter-soft leather seating, patterned armchairs, and a Smart TV for movie nights. The open-air living room is stylish, cozy, and ready for everything from game night to wine and conversation.
Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen dazzles with pops of red, stainless-steel appliances, and granite countertops—a fully stocked space perfect for whipping up anything from snacks to full feasts. Enjoy meals at the high-top table inside or dine al fresco on the private deck.
Bedrooms & Baths
Two spacious king suites feature plush bedding, smart TVs, and enough room to stretch, relax, or even sneak in a yoga session. Each suite has its own spa-like ensuite bathroom with beautiful tile, warm wood accents, and luxurious walk-in showers.
Outdoor Perks
Hot tub under the stars
Propane grill for cookouts
Private fire pit for s’mores, stories, and starry skies
Deck seating perfect for morning coffee or evening champagne
Keep your eyes peeled—local wildlife like deer and turkeys might wander by!
📍 Explore Bryson City
Located just minutes from the Deep Creek entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Foxfire is close to:
Waterfalls, tubing, hiking & horseback riding
The Nantahala Outdoor Center for rafting & zip-lining
Local gems like The Loose Moose & Appalachian Mercantile
Dining favorites like Everett Street Diner and our new Wize Guyz Grille.
Festivals, live music, and that small-town magic
Not suitable for children.
No pets allowed.
Not wheelchair accessible because lots of steps are required to reach the deck.
If Foxfire is booked and you need space for 4, check out Serengeti or Swallowtail, or Spicewood, our romantic hard-wall yurt. We’re happy to help you find the perfect spot!

About the host
Hosted by Kendra Jackson
Hi, I’m Jeanetta – your host at Elk Hollow Resort!
Thank you for considering one of our Elk Hollow properties for your Western North Carolina getaway!
After 34 years in the rental industry—and with the steady support of my husband, Mike—I chose to simplify life and pour my heart into building a peaceful, one-of-a-kind retreat in Bryson City, NC. Just half a mile from the Deep Creek entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Elk Hollow Resort is truly my slice of paradise. With quiet surroundings, a gentle stream, hardwood trees, and frequent visits from wild turkeys and deer, it's a place that continuously feeds the soul.
Creating a warm, welcoming guest experience is my top priority. I want every visitor to feel relaxed, safe, and completely at home—with more to do than they have time for, and more fun than they ever expected!
I’m happiest outdoors and cherish time with my two children, six wonderful grandchildren, and lifelong friends. We’ve made countless special memories in the mountains, and I hope you will too.
Although I love exploring new places, my favorite moments are still found at home—entertaining, connecting, and enjoying the simple joy of time well spent with loved ones.
I can’t wait to welcome you to Elk Hollow!

Why they chose this property
Elk Hollow Resort was created to offer guests a serene and peaceful escape in the heart of Deep Creek, designed to blend naturally into its forested surroundings. Every detail—from the layout of the lodging to the preservation of the land—was thoughtfully planned to minimize disruption to the landscape and maintain the integrity of the environment.
Here, you can truly unplug and immerse yourself in the sounds of nature—birds singing, leaves rustling, and the quiet hum of the forest all around you. Though just minutes from the Deep Creek entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with its waterfalls, hiking trails, and tubing adventures, Elk Hollow feels like a hidden gem—tucked beneath a canopy of hardwood trees, with a gentle stream and regular visits from turkeys and deer.
At night, the experience becomes magical. Cozy up by the fire pit and gaze at a sky blanketed with brilliant stars—the perfect setting for an intimate evening. As the fire crackles and the mountain air cools, the stillness is breathtaking.
Afterward, retreat to your luxurious Safari Tent, or simply relax by the soothing sounds of the brook. Whether you're here for romance, reflection, or reconnection, every moment at Elk Hollow is designed to be relaxing, immersive, and unforgettable.
