About this property

Cozy, Peaceful Hideout, Sauna, Hiking, and Great Food!

Escape to a serene and secluded experience at Whisper Woods. "The Locust" is equipped with a huge deck and sauna! Thoughtfully designed, luxurious glamping experience with hotel amenities.

◆ Huge deck
◆ Barrel Sauna
◆ Outdoor fire pit under the trees and stars
◆ Cozy electric fireplace inside
◆ Kitchen equipped with a mini refrigerator, cooktop, and microwave for quick meals

Nestled between the cute towns of Waynesville and Sylva and just minutes from many hikes and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Cherokee entrance to the Smoky Mountain National Park is also only 35 minutes away and Asheville is within 45. Furthermore, our road is called Quiet Forest Lane for a reason! It is so serene.

◆ Comfy King Bed (memory foam)!
◆ Pull out full sofa for extra sleeping space
◆ You will love soaking and unwinding in the bathtub (no shower)
◆ Wi-Fi (can be a little spotty for things like Zoom meetings)

You will have full access to the entire tiny home during your stay.

Please feel free to contact us at any time. We are here to assist you with anything you may need!

Tucked off of a very quiet road with only a few houses, it’s the perfect setting to getaway to. However, plenty to do around in nature as well as great restaurants and breweries with Waynesville being under 20 mins away, Sylva ~10 mins, and Asheville is an easy highway drive ~40 mins. You can get to the beautiful Smokey Mountain National park entrance near Cherokee in ~35 mins as well.

Please be mindful that the driveway is gravel, reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns about that!

This is a pet friendly property, we do charge a pet fee. You'll see this upon booking! Reach out with any questions.

Serene stay!

Just far enough off the beaten path to feel remote but convenient to surrounding cities. Quaint, clean, and perfect! Can’t wait to stay again

Cute and cozy!

This was a great stay. It is on top of a huge hill, so I recommend bringing a truck or SUV.

Such a cool place!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Locust. The property was better than described. When we pulled up we were more than surprised to see a sauna that wasn’t yet on the listing. The house was great. Plenty of room for both of us and our two dogs. We enjoyed sitting outside in the hammocks both during the day and at night to check out the stars. French press coffee is the way to go(If you were wondering)! We ran into Jonathon, one of the managers, who was working on one of the other properties and he was so nice to talk to and went out of his way to make certain that we had the best stay! Such a wonderful person to meet. Go! You won’t be disapointed.
