About this property

Canopy, Luxury Glamping Tent in the Western NC Tree Tops

Welcoming to the adventurous couple, friends, or a solo traveler looking to reset in nature, take advantage of outdoor activities and explore the area- this tent at Elk Hollow is an exceptional central location to experience the region.

The tent has an open and spacious feel with a relaxing ambiance. The decor is fresh and inviting, with playful pops of turquoise and burnt orange. In the center of the tent is the living area with a loveseat and chair to kick back on- perhaps watch a movie on the flatscreen TV or look out the French doors to the wooded backdrop while you sip a cup of coffee.

The pitched roof and ceiling fans overhead move the air about for a breezy setting, while the glass doors and numerous windows invite plenty of natural light.

Behind the sitting area is the fully equipped kitchen with plenty of cabinetry, a full-size fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, gas range, and oven. Guests will have everything for easy meal prep and can enjoy a meal at the bar-height bistro table for two in the living room or outside on the deck.
On one side of the tent is the bedroom area with a plush king-size rustic log bed, designated workspace, ceiling fan and light overhead. The wrap-around windows open to screens so you listen to songs of nature lull you to sleep, or you can unroll the canvas for a dark and cozy room.

On the other side of the tent is the full bathroom and dressing quarters, where a curtain can be closed for added privacy. There is a stand-alone soaking tub, spacious walk-in rain shower, and large vanity with sink and mirror.

This property has exceptional outdoor living space that highlights the setting. The string lights set the mood and provide plenty of light. Prepare a meal on the stainless grill, or stoke a campfire in the firepit.

The enormous wrap-around platform deck features a hot tub- the perfect place to soak after a long day of hiking. Sip a glass of wine and look up at the night sky.

Or, if the weather is wet, tuck in on the covered seating area with a ceiling fan overhead to keep the air moving and the bugs at bay.

This tent is set up on an elevated section of Elk Hollow, making the setting feel like you are roosted in the treetops looking down.

Due to the elevated location of the tent, it is recommended that guests have an all-wheel or 4-wheel drive vehicle for the climb. Alternatively, there is an option of a parking area 1/4 mile below, but you'll want to be in excellent walking shape for the climb up!

No pets, no children, no smoking. 24/7 Video surveillance on site.

Swain County is the adventure capital of the Smoky Mountains, where the list of outdoor activities is endless. The Elk Hollow Vacation Rental Community is just steps from the national forest and minutes from Bryson City, known as the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The Deep Creek Park Area will provide visitors with miles of trails, waterfalls, creeks, and breathtaking views of the mountain area. From a stay in Elk Hollow, visitors can enjoy day trips to horseback ride, tube, white river raft, bike, hike, and more. Take a train ride through the park aboard the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad!

Bryson City, NC is a charming Smoky Mountain town. This sleepy town invites a leisurely stroll up and down main street where one can find bookstores, galleries, unique shopping, fly-shops, antique stores, and plenty of down-to-earth eateries.

For any outdoor gear needed during your visit, Bryson City Outdoors will have everything you need to go adventuring. Mountain Layers Brewing on the corner of Everett St. & Island St. is perched on the banks of Tuckasegee River where local food trucks serve up a variety of dishes to compliment the craft beer.

Or take advantage of a local diner in town. The Smoky Mountain Farmers and Artisans Market is a great way to experience local produce and arts & crafts. Stroll around listening to live music while you provision for your stay! Open Fridays and Saturdays from 9-2, May-Oct.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Jeanetta and I’m thrilled that you’re considering our property for your next Western North Carolina vacation!

After 34 years in the single-family rental industry, I decided to sell and consolidate everything into the Elk Hollow community. I love that its location is so close to the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It’s so quiet there, just a little piece of paradise waiting to be discovered. With tons of hardwood trees, a little stream, and lots of turkeys and deer wandering about, I could just soak it up forever.

There’s nothing more important to me than excellent customer service. I want all my guests to have a relaxing time and feel safe and comfortable. I really want them to find more to do than they have time for and have more fun than they expected!

As for me, I love gardening and all things outdoors. I love spending time with my family and hope that my two children and 6 grandchildren will all enjoy the mountains as much as I and their grandfather do.

It’s probably not a surprise that I enjoy traveling and experiencing new places. But I also love being home with my friends and family, and entertaining. It’s important to have a balance.

I hope to see you soon at Elk Hollow!
