Our glamping and immersion retreat is located in a picturesque natural setting that offers stunning views and sounds in historic Dandridge, the second oldest town in Tennessee. You can fall asleep to the sound of frogs and wake up to the soothing sound of birds chirping and relax to the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze. Our location is ideal for nature lovers who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in the serene beauty of the outdoors.

We have a total of 3 tipis, each with a queen bed and twin cot, coffee maker, coffee, games, electric blanket, games, electricity, water hose, heater, fan, fire pit, and grill.

We are home to a variety of animals, including deer, foxes, rabbits, frogs, raccoons, owls, turkey, ducks, squirrels, and many species of birds, including bald eagles and whip-poor-wills. You may even catch a glimpse of a bear, bobcat or peacock although we encourage you to observe these animals from a safe distance.
