Spectacular Glamping experience

Everything was fantastic. Kitchen well stocked, amazing shower, comfy bed, delightful deck space to relax in the rain while staying dry. Hot tub was perfect. 100% would stay again Just make sure your car has a down hill assist. The road is tricky!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Shakonohey “tent” in July’26. It was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked to cook a few meals. Bathroom had some luxury upgrades and I really need that tub in my life going forward! Things to know: it is a steep drive on a (mostly one lane) gravel road. Just the one parking place and about 8 steps down to the deck. You have elevation but surrounded by trees, so no mountain vista here. There are several of the other tents within sight and we had a few noisy neighbors which was annoying but minor. Very close drive to Bryson City and restaurants, shops and GSMRR. The National Park is a stones throw from our road with great hikes and tubing. Owner checked in with us throughout our stay and was easy to reach. Very easy checkout, fewer tasks than I’ve had at other places. It was a fun and different place to stay, would recommend.

Unique Experience

We had a great time. The tent was super fun, spacious, clean and something different. The view and hot tub is a nice way to end the night. The driveway is very steep and could be challenging with a low clearance vehicle.

DO IT!!

A safari tent peaked our interest but we weren’t sure what it would entail. So glad we decided the take the chance and try it. The design and details were so meticulous and everything was just wonderful. A jewel tucked into the mountains but easily accessible and not far from town for easy access.

Heaven on earth!!!

This place is so much more than the videos and pictures can show you. We got there and were amazed by the beauty and detail in every inch of the property. Wished we would’ve stayed longer and definitely will next time. It’s so peaceful and relaxing we had to make ourselves go into town the night of the 4th to celebrate Independence Day. Thank you for making such an amazing place available for everyone to have away to escape from day to day life y’all have out done yourselves.

The property was very easy to get to and clean. We loved the size of the place for the two of us. Plenty of room and the bedding was nice. Very comfortable. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything for cooking. My wife loved the soaker tub. The only complaint is the hot tub seemed a bit slimy. Maybe just needed some chemicals. All in all, a great place to stay. Easy access to Bryson City as well.
