Great place; secluded and quiet!

We really loved this vintage camper van and the location is terrific! It is very private, and all you can see from the hot tub on the deck and the fire pit area is the woods! The owner was very responsive in getting us everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again next time we are in the Bryson City area!

Retro comfort!

This was the neatest little camper! Simultaneously tiny AND spacious. Me, my spouse, and our kid were completely comfortable inside and out. The hot tub was amazing, and the grill and fire pit added delicious food and fun to our trip. Camper was clean and exactly as described. Can’t wait to come back soon!

It was great! Cozy and comfortable. The hot tub is awesome . Clean and good temp. We also rented inflatable kayak from Gina . Little difficult to clean and roll but worth it. Over all a great stay. Would recommend.

Quaint Retro Camper Getaway

Gina made our stay great from the get go. We ended up getting into town earlier than expected and she was able to accommodate an early check in for us! Once you step into the camper, you are literally stepping back in time, not only in décor and model, but in the sense that you lose your ability to use the technology you are tethered to daily. It is a rare treat not to have to answer emails or texts :-) We had a wonderful, relaxing couple of days at the camper and even drummed up some more business for Gina. Thanks again, for allowing us the privilege of staying in your adorable and fun camper, Jim and Bridget Hawn

Glamping fun

This property was what I expected and it went well. Kinda like having an extra large tent or pop up on steroids. Came complete with bathroom,shower , stove , oven , mini fridge, hot tub, fire pit and charcoal grill. So yes, better than a tent , but never lost that camping feel. I would rent again. Does need new mattress.

Wonderful Place to Stay!

We stayed for a night after the Polar Express. What a wonderful place! Heater kicked off in the middle of the night so we froze but otherwise a great place! So cool! Wish we had been able to enjoy the fire pit but it was pouring. Highly recommend.

It was a awesome weekend getaway

We had so much fun in the hot tub and around the fire and cooking on the little gas stove we had a blast only thing need a little radio while you're sitting outside by the hot tub or fire pit and the bed was too hard to sleep on maybe improve on that other wise we will be back

Great spot for weekend getaway

We really enjoyed are stay. The camper is super cute and in a pleasant area. The sounds from the creek were very relaxing and we really enjoyed the fire pit. One issue we has was with cooking. The fire alarm was very sensitive. I understand that it needs to be, but maybe prepare visitors that it will go off easily. The property manager was very nice and answered all questions. Overall we greatly enjoyed our trip and would stay there again.

Nice property and location

Nice, somewhat remote area that is not too far a drive from Bryson City. It is an old camper, so small and little storage but it's fun if that's what you're looking for. Hot tub was awesome, great to have the fire pit. Good for one, maybe two people, no more.

OK stay

Cute vintage camper. It is a very small space - we are two normal sized adults and we had a hard time sleeping on the fold-out cot bed. When we first arrived, it smelled a little like gas (from the gas stove), but it cleared quickly by opening the fan/exhaust vent above the stove and opening a window to move the air. The hot tub was ok, but be sure to check it about an hour before you plan to soak. We set it, only to find the temp had dropped and the water had cooled before we planned to get in. Also the hot tub never heated above the mid 90s. I tried to text both numbers provided to me upon check-in to get help with the hot tub temp and didn't get a response until after I had already checked out the next day. The sound of the creek outside was very relaxing and we enjoyed a fire in the firepit (get wood and matches from town). The hammocks are also relaxing as well. The “tunnel to nowhere” is only a few miles up the road as well. Humble and aged digs, but quiet and secluded.

cozy but freezing cold!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The pictures were accurate. It would have been nice if we'd known there was a space heater. It was 37 degrees the first night! Also, don't hide the extra t.p. and defrost the freezer so it can be used. Bathroom faucet needs to be fixed. Very nice, quiet and peaceful. Hot tub a huge blessing!
