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. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott 4 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Amazing secret tucked up in the mountain near Spivey with easy access to the NOLI. Enjoyed the Yala tent cabin design and the bathhouse. Will definitely be back when kayaking or instructing SWR. See ya on the River. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e3aafab1-2aa2-4264-930c-8901699944ed-1754273091113.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c0500426-c0ed-4626-86a5-838b90258b29-1754273089964.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cbc357dd-f3fc-4228-9dee-c8bf5c962953-1754273087719.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Scott Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ada S. 7 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### magical Very well done. ##### Ada S.
