Welcome to Wanderlust Woods, a hidden 10 acre property with flowing creek, mountain views & plenty of space to wander. Minutes from rafting on the Pigeon river or hiking in the National Park & 25 min to Gatlinburg.



We are more than happy to answer questions or offer help if you need it. Just message through the app or call and we'll either come by or send someone by who lives near.



Wanderlust Woods is located in Cocke County Tennessee near the towns of Cosby and Hartford, 10 minutes from the Interstate and is situated very near the boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The natural beauty of the area is unparalleled with views of the Smokies at almost every turn. Hiking, fishing, tubing, white water rafting, and ziplining are all within a 10 mile radius of the property. Gatlinburg, TN is a 25 minute drive and Asheville, NC is just over an hour, offering guests options for fun day trips in the area.



You have the entire airstream to yourself and share the spacious property (10 acres) with other glampers. Invite friends to stay at our other sites. Search for Bell Perch or Mimosa Hill.



You’re welcome to explore our property including 900 ft of creek frontage, a hiking trail to the ridge, and mountain views. We ask that you do not enter any other of our glamping spots. No one else has access to your Airstream.



This 21’ 1972 Airstream Globetrotter includes all of the amenities you might expect with a small studio apartment or tiny home. Get ready for a nostalgic glamping experience in the mountains. The almost full-size bed & petite bathroom is perfect for us (5’11” & 4’11”) but may be less comfortable for others. We also have a fold-out sofa that turns into a bed for a 3rd guest. The kitchenette includes a 2-burner propane stovetop, microwave, mini-fridge & freezer, coffee maker, and small toaster oven in the closet.



There is no more rooster mentioned in some reviews, this was at our previous location :-)



You’ll be nice & toasty in the winter and cool in the summer with a space heater, rooftop AC, and portable fan.



Minutes from rafting & kayaking on the Pigeon river or hiking in the National Park and skip the traffic by going the back way to Gatlinburg. Nearby mountain towns of Cosby & Newport offer groceries, restaurants, and unique shops for the perfect souvenir.



Three guests maximum in the airstream. No extra overnight guests are permitted and please note that smoking is not allowed inside but welcome outside. Although we love pets, we believe that an Airstream is not a pet friendly environment; therefore, no pets are allowed please.



We don’t have great cell reception at the property, so make sure you screenshot the directions and check in instructions ahead of time or log into our Wi-Fi when you get to the bridge. You can set up Wi-Fi calling on your phones in order to stay in touch with family and friends while you’re glamping.



We will offer directions that avoid the worst roads but you will encounter gravel and a few ruts coming into the property. Any vehicle can make it fine when taking it slow but a larger vehicle with higher clearance is preferred. Only in winter when there is snow and ice is 4wd required.



We provide coffee, creamer, sugar, snacks, plus all the bedding, towels, soap, TP, etc that you’ll need for your stay.



The Cosby entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park is 3 mi in one direction, rafting on the Pigeon River is 3 mi in another direction, and we can show you some beautiful fishing spots for bass & trout less than 3 miles from our place.
