We had a great time exploring the coves on Douglas Lake in the canoe and paddle board. The lake water was clean and warm. Adrian was a great host. He was quick to respond to any issue that arose. The large fans were helpful to give us relief from the July humidity. The nearest grocery store is about 20 minutes away, which isnât too bad. This was a perfect place to stop for a few nights on our way to the Smokies. Thanks Adrian!
This is a magnificent hide away. The tent is tucked away in a clearing making you feel like you're the only ones out there. Having lake access is an extremely nice perk for the summer months, the host has even provided a paddle board and canoe. To top it off the tent has running water and electricity.
My family and i stayed a week at the cabin. We wanted a vacation away from social media and electronics and this was the perfect place for it. Made a bunch of memories and played a bunch of games. We will be back when it is not so hot. The cabin had everything we needed, fans were provided and used very often, haha. The fireflies were amazing and the lake was amazing.
Beautiful and relaxing. The shower is my favorite! Quite and secluded but close enough to town. Owners are so helpful and friendly. Canât wait to go back!
This was a nice getaway close to all things in the Smokies. The tent is very well stocked and the host thought about everything for your stay. We only had to bring food :) The outdoor shower was pleasantly surprising in a good way. I was nervous about the outhouse setup but it was great minus the bugs! The only thing I wish was different was the access to the lake I wish it was more on the water but otherwise it was a great trip. The host was always available for questions and helpful! Thank you!
All the joys of camping without the inconveniences
We really enjoyed our stay and glamping experience. The entry instructions were easy to follow and it was a little bit magical walking down to the tent for the first time. Everything was perfect and very clean, even for my clean freak husband. We stayed with our 3 year old who was very excited to find games and toys for him to play with. We loved sitting on the balcony and even though it got into the upper 30s, we were all warm in our beds without the electric blankets. They really thought of everything you may need for a stay and to cook dinner. There was also plenty of firewood and even kindling and paper to get it started. Really all you need to bring is food! Everything else is taken care of! Host is very responsive. Its very private but I would say the only downside is the dogs barking at night. But everything else still makes it worth it. We would make the 5 hour trip down again! We headed into the Smokies and to Anakeesta, in Gatlinburg, which was a lot of fun for the 3 year old.
Thanks for a wonderful weekend!
We had a great time during our stay! Our 4 year old wanted to go camping so this was perfect. Adrian had so many nice touches to make our stay comfortable such as a wagon at the parking area to help with transporting stuff, firewood, and lots of blankets to keep warm! We ventured to the lake and were still about to go fishing further down even though the lake was lowered. We were not able to use the canoe. The bathhouse was a perfect touch and convenient. We loved that we had hot water! With it being cooler, we didnât have as much of an issue with bugs but still couldnât escape them (as to be expected when camping). We felt safe, still had phone service, and actually slept very well! From an inexperienced camper, 10/10 recommend if you are trying to get the camping experience!
Our first experience with Glamping & we were more than satisfied with the experience! Only wish weâd booked a longer stay and got to enjoy more of the camp site but we stayed out on the town shopping more than in and didnât get to take advantage of everything the camp had to offer! Will definitely be staying again!
Iâm so glad we chose this place as our first glamping experience. The location was private and peaceful. We were there in July, so it was warm at night, but we loved waking up to cool mornings and having coffee on the deck. We had fans at night to help us stay cool. One of our favorite things was the outdoor shower. The Smoky Mountains were incredibly beautiful. We hiked some of the trails, swam in the river and picnicked along the way. This was a wonderful vacation. We would definitely do it again!
What a nice place tucked away in the woods. The kids spent hours in the lake, while my wife and i spent time hanging out around camp. Definitely a cozy place. Everything we could possibly need was available, was definitely nice to know if we needed something it was no further than a text away!
This âglampingâ experience was adorable! The hosts had everything you need to enjoy the woods and the lake. We enjoying just sitting on the porch relaxing and playing games, making Sâmores by the campfire, and taking the canoe out on the lake! We are not a camping family, so this was the perfect fit. We never felt uncomfortable (despite 90+ degree days) and enjoyed every moment of our trip! We hope to visit again!
We had such a great time. It was a hot 3 days but the fans that were there kept the air circulating. We all had a much needed break from everything and the privacy was wonderful. We will try to come back in the fall.
As a family of campers our daughters were a little worried about wanting to camp with our tents in a state with bears are present. This place was PERFECT. Us adults were still able to enjoy the peace and quiet of camping without the stress of set up/tear downs and our girls felt comfortable since it felt more like a house.
Property was clean and had all the supplies we needed! It rained off and on the whole week, there were zero issues. All around a very nice place.
The only two âissuesâ, more like slight inconveniences, were the dogs barking at all hours of the night (light sleepers), and the outhouse door butts up to the tent frame. It was hard to carry sleeping kids to the bathroom in the middle of the night when you canât open the door fully.
But, I would highly recommend checking this place out! We have already been spreading the word!
We had a great time at camp whitetail. The area is serene and beautiful. The cove at the lake is a little walk from the tent but absolutely worth it. We brought our kayaks for fishing and should have brought a cart to take them down. Adrian was very helpful with recommending a bait shop close by. The tent is clean and stocked with just about anything you could need. I would definitely recommend staying here if you love nature and being away from the hustle of the city.
Absolutely the BEST Glamping experience one could ask for! High quality tent, beautiful site, clean and perfectly decorated. Truly, all you need is a backpack of clothes and a few groceries! Host Adrian has thought of it all! Hot shower, gas stove, bbq grill, firewood, kayak, lanterns, fridge and cooler, amazing fire pit, pots/pans, etc!!
Adrian is kind, extremely knowledgeable and such an amazing host!! Communication is perfect and his property is spotless! A great deal of time, money, energy and love has gone into his camp! We are so lucky to have found him! Looking forward to our next visit!!
