Nature surrounds you on all sides at this relaxing and comfortable tent. We call it Firefly, which you can experience nightly during the summer months. Whether you explore and take advantage of the outdoor activities in the area, or just relax and unwind. It will be a place to make memories that you will cherish. There are approximately 10 steps to access the deck of the tent and 3 to the fire pit area. The tent has an open and spacious feel with a relaxing ambiance. The decor is fresh and natural with a bright yellow door and playful pops of Fireflies scattered about. You can connect and stream your favorite shows on the large flatscreen LG tv, or watch local shows with our antenna. In the center of the tent is the living area with two comfortable chairs and an ottoman to put up your feet and relax with. Or look out the glass French doors to the wooded backdrop while you sip your morning coffee. The tent windows and doors allow plenty of light in the rooms and the ceiling fans move the air about to keep it comfortable. Behind the sitting area is the fully equipped kitchen with plenty of cabinetry, a refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, gas range, and oven. Guests will have everything for easy meal prep and can enjoy a meal at the table for two in the living room or outside on the deck. On one side of the tent is the bedroom area with a rustic barnwood bed, designated workspace and lamps. The wrap-around windows open to screens so you listen to songs of nature lull you to sleep, or you can unroll the canvas for a dark and cozy room. On the other side of the tent is the full bathroom with a curtain you can close for privacy. There is a stand-alone soaking tub, spacious walk-in rain shower, and vanity with a sink and mirror. This property has exceptional outdoor living space that highlights the setting. The string lights set the mood and provide plenty of light. Prepare a meal on the stainless grill, or stoke a campfire in the firepit. The enormous wrap-around platform deck features a hot tub, the perfect place to soak after a long day of hiking. Sip a glass of wine and look up at the night sky. Or, if the weather is wet, tuck in on the covered seating area with a ceiling fan overhead to keep the air moving and the bugs at bay. This tent is set up on an elevated section of Elk Hollow, making the setting feel like you are roosted in the treetops looking down. Below the tent is a trail that runs along a creek with swings, bridges and an arbor, which is now open ready to explore. Due to the elevated location of the tent, it is recommended that guests either have an all-wheel or 4-wheel drive vehicle for the climb. Or be comfortable driving mountain roads with a sharp turn. Alternatively, there is an option of parking below, but you'll want to be in excellent walking shape for the climb up! No pets, no children, no smoking. 24/7 Video surveillance on site. Swain County is the adventure capital of the Smoky Mountains, where the list of outdoor activities is endless. The Deep Creek Park Area will provide visitors with miles of trails, waterfalls, creeks, and breathtaking views of the mountain area. From a stay in Elk Hollow, visitors can enjoy day trips to horseback ride, tube, white river raft, bike, hike, or take a train ride aboard the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad! Bryson City is a charming "Hallmark" style of town. This sleepy town invites a leisurely stroll up and down main street where one can find bookstores, galleries, unique shopping, fly-shops, antique stores, and plenty of down-to-earth eateries. Where you can find outdoor gear, restaurants, local food trucks and craft beer. This tent is brand new and this description and the photo's will be changing soon. Don't miss this early opportunity to step inside our Firefly tent! If your chosen dates are not available in the Firefly tent. We have other Romantic Safari Tents and Hard Wall Yurts in Elk Hollow.
