Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott W. 17 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magical Place Awesome People So I don’t want to blow up a huge expectation and maybe you would be disappointed but we really loved this place. We stayed in the minimal tent accommodations as we like it that way and the experience was HUGE with the common area and other tents and campers along the creek with the water always singing the relaxing sounds creeks make. The stars were super bright at night and the AT trail a mile away is challenging and invigorating. Ask about the water fall swimming hole a few miles past the AT. And talk to the host about how they created this magical place. The story is amazing. Bathrooms showers are over the top cool and it was just a great value for the money. We will absolutely be back!!!! ##### Scott W.
