This is a private neighborhood with no visible homes from the structure, along a very lightly traveled rural road. The tranquil sound of the creek will relax you. Occasionally, neighbors may fish the parking lot/waterfall area only, mostly in spring. This is where the State releases trout.

Generally guests drive in from on Fall Creek Road from Highway 421. It's the most direct path for most people. You can go the upstream direction on Fall Creek Road and take a dirt road to the Blue Ridge Parkway if you are feeling adventuresome. Parking is simple in the gravel lot.

Wonderful and relaxing area. Close enough to Boone to do stuff but far enough away to feel remote.The inside of the dome felt huge and the sound of the creek was such a calming backdrop to a very pleasant stay. Will definitely be staying here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Charming place with nice stream and firepit which fits into glamping description. I would recommend the cleaning thoroughly: sheets/pillow cases had hairs on them when we arrived, many stains on the bedding (buy new ones), old scouring pad just sitting out, interior mold throughout, including on all over property paperwork, cooler smells, green slime on bottom of water reservoir of keurig, shower visibly dirty. To include a 30 cleaning fee in the face of all of this is too much or maybe lower nightly rate.

So unique

We got there a little dark and was excited to see the scenery in daytime it did not disappoint. It was beautiful and the sound of the creek water was so calming! The little touches around the property with motion lights and craftmanship or small attention to details was spot on. The property contact for questions was quick response time and very helpful. Can't wait to book again maybe in warmer temps next time but was a lovely and memorable experience for my family!
