About this property

Huckleberry, Upscale & Cozy Stunning Glamping near GSMNP, Authentic Safari Tent

Tucked away in its own tranquil wooded oasis sits a fully-outfitted accommodation for two. It may technically be glamping, but Huckleberry is way more glamour than camping. With AC and heat, flat-screen TV, a full kitchen, gorgeous bathroom stocked with the fluffiest of towels, and a private deck with a grill and hot tub, you won’t feel like you’re missing out on anything when you leave behind the hustle and bustle of the daily grind.

Living Areas
Enjoy relaxing evenings in the coziest of living rooms. The overstuffed easy chairs beckon to you to sit a spell and catch up on your favorite show, or just get lost in a good read. The space is open and inviting and full of natural light from the French door and windows. So sit back and relax, after all you’re on vacation!

Kitchen & Dining
Whip up anything from a decadent midnight snack to a romantic 3-course meal in the full kitchen outfitted with sleek stainless steel appliances to make meal prep and clean up a snap. With a full-size fridge to hold all your groceries, a gas range with an oven, a microwave and dishwasher, we’ve got you covered for dining in.

Enjoy your meals at the high-top table that seats two, or head outside and soak in the romance of the warm glow of string lights while you dine on your private deck.

Bedrooms & Baths
The cozy bedroom is the perfect spot for rest and relaxation. From the king-size bed with its plush sheets and soft blankets, to the small writing desk in the corner, this room has everything you need for a peaceful getaway. The warm tones of the walls and bedding create a restful atmosphere that helps you drift away into dreamland, while the natural light streaming in through the windows ensures you will rise feeling refreshed and renewed.

Have your very own spa day in the chic and modern bathroom with an oversized tiled walk-in shower with bench and a rain head, and a soaking tub! You definitely won’t feel like you’re roughing it once you see this luxurious space. Towels and basic toiletries are provided for our guests’ ultimate convenience.

Outdoor Amenities
While the interior of this genuine safari tent is a dream come true, the outside is what makes this rental truly special. The roomy wrap-around deck is home to a hot tub, where you can soak away your stress under the moonlight, listening to the sounds of nature all around you. There is a handy propane grill for cooking up your favorite fare outdoors and there’s plenty of seating options, whether you want to dine al fresco or watch the sun come up with a steamy cup of coffee in hand.

We have many animals that call this area home and you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of deer, black bears, elk, or raccoons during your stay.

In the evenings, grab the marshmallows and practice your fire-making skills in the firepit to ward off the chill of an autumn evening. Gather around the warm glow with a glass of bubbly for a unique way to celebrate your special occasion and get lost gazing at the sky chock full of stars.

No animals allowed.

Not accessible for wheelchairs as guests must be able to navigate the outside stairs to get to the accommodation.

Relaxing getaway

This was the perfect place to relax and getaway for a week. The luxury safari tent was even better than expected and so much better than an expensive hotel room. We loved it and highly recommend it! Hopefully we will get a chance to stay here again soon!

Reflection & Relaxation

Fantastic place to stay! I went for some quiet time away from the city and this did not disappoint. Quant little town of Bryson City has some fun shops and the GSMT station and museum are a great excursion. Beautiful nights under the stars in the hot tub and it got cold enough that I even enjoyed a bonfire in the firepit. Definitely going back!

Wonderful Getaway!

The property is beautiful and exactly what we were looking for! We loved the openness of the tent...just enough room for 2 people. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub while looking at the stars through the trees. The shower was wonderful; we didn’t use the tub. We found plenty of hiking trails and places to relax by the river. Perfect weekend to celebrate our first anniversary and we will definitely visit again!! Thank you for such a beautiful place!

Very unique, quiet, clean, and private property. We were there for our 10th anniversary and wanted to ‘get away from it all’ and enjoy some time alone- this was perfect! We enjoyed sitting on the spacious deck and having morning coffee- and having an afternoon nap in the reclining chairs- at night we watched the twinkling stars from the hot tub. We did cook a few meals there- the kitchen was extremely well stocked with everything you would ever need- even spices, flour, sugar, and coffee and creamer!! The bed was comfy and the shower was huge. We really loved our stay and highly recommend!

A romantic getaway

From the time we arrived, we absolutely fell in love with your beautiful place. It’s by far one of the coolest, cleanest, neatest places we’ve ever experienced. We enjoyed every minute of our time there. I loved EVERYTHING about it! The bed was so comfortable! It was so well thought out and decorated! It had everything you’d need as if you were at home! The only regret we have, was we wished we would’ve stayed longer. We will be back and highly recommend this place. Five +star

About the host

Hello, my name is Jeanetta and I’m thrilled that you’re considering our property for your next Western North Carolina vacation!

After 34 years in the single-family rental industry, I decided to sell and consolidate everything into the Elk Hollow community. I love that its location is so close to the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It’s so quiet there, just a little piece of paradise waiting to be discovered. With tons of hardwood trees, a little stream, and lots of turkeys and deer wandering about, I could just soak it up forever.

There’s nothing more important to me than excellent customer service. I want all my guests to have a relaxing time and feel safe and comfortable. I really want them to find more to do than they have time for and have more fun than they expected!

As for me, I love gardening and all things outdoors. I love spending time with my family and hope that my two children and 6 grandchildren will all enjoy the mountains as much as I and their grandfather do.

It’s probably not a surprise that I enjoy traveling and experiencing new places. But I also love being home with my friends and family, and entertaining. It’s important to have a balance.

I hope to see you soon at Elk Hollow!

What makes this property unique
