Enjoy the sounds of nature when you stay in this unique place.

This property sits on the TN/NC boarder that backs up to the Pisgah National Forest and is within walking distance to the Appalachian Trail.

We have a 4-unit luxurious bath house, outfitted with a toilet, walk-in shower and sink in each, that will be available for you to use during your stay. Also, we have a covered 2000sqft pavilion, setup with outdoor couches, two 6-person tables, and numerous games for you to enjoy. On the back deck of the pavilion, we have a gas firepit with 6 chairs surrounding it, as well as a wood burning firepit a short walk from your porch.

Other things to note
This unit currently does not have power, but we do have solar lighting on the front porch that comes on at dusk. We do have power in the pavilion where you can charge your phones or other electronics. We will provide you with paper plates and plasticware, and bath towels for the bathhouse only. Please do not take these towels off premises to swimming areas. You must bring your own towels for rafting adventures, etc. The bathrooms include bath wash, conditioner, and shampoo. You will also have a gas grill you will share with the other tent beside you. We recommend you bring a cooler to store your cold food items. We highly recommend bringing valuable items with you when you leave your tent, as they do not lock. Glamping Retro is not responsible for the loss of or stolen items from your rental. Luckily our property does not have mosquitos, but we do get other flying pests, so we recommend closing your tent when not occupied. It does get cool at night, even in the summertime, so we recommend that you pack accordingly. Quiet time will be at 10:00 pm and all outdoor lights will go off at 11:00 pm, except the solar pathway lights. Please be respectful of other glampers that go to bed early. If you choose to swim on the property, it is at your own risk.
