About this property

GLAMPING IN THE SMOKIES--PRIVATE--LAKE ACCESS

CAMP WHITETAIL is a one-of-a-kind amazing glamping experience! It is a 2 bedroom, 330 sq ft tree-tent that is superbly COZY, nestled on a private 5-acre wooded site! It is camping with modern conveniences and without having to pack up the house.

Inside you will find a comfy custom-made Queen bed and Twin bunk beds, custom made table for two, a kitchen with running water and a propane stove, stocked with the basic necessities. (Note; if the weather is going to drop below freezing at night water will not be turned on during spring or late fall due to pipes and water heater freezing up.)All you'll need to bring is your food and a cooler. The outside covered porch/deck has chairs to take in the peaceful views while sipping coffee in the mornings or just enjoy a quiet evening under the stars. An enclosed outdoor bathroom is just right outside the tent, with hot shower and a toilet loo. The logs by the fire pit, with plenty of firewood, invite you to sit and tell campfire stories and roast marshmallows while creating new memories. The trail then leads to the water, where you can enjoy a trip on the canoe and paddle board (provided for you), lay in the hammock or fish in the clear waters of Douglas Lake.

You can cook in the tent on the gas stove, the outdoor grill or cook on the open fire in the fire pit, sit by the handmade camp logs and enjoy your meal at the fireside.

The red path from the parking area and between the tree-tent and the bathhouse is well lit all the way with solar lights, you can also turn on the porch lights and light up the woods. There are charging outlets 120V/USB for cell phone/laptops. There are only electric blankets. Check lake levels at Douglas Lake water levels as the lake are lowered during the winter starting in September to about March. http://www.douglaslake.info/Level/


This glamping experience will be an unforgettable one for years to come.

Come and enjoy the great outdoors!

Second-time stay!

This was our second time staying at Adrian’s place. It was perfect for our needs, and Adrian was very responsive to our questions. My daughter loved this trip and talks about going “glamping” often!

A Nice Getaway

This was a nice getaway close to all things in the Smokies. The tent is very well stocked and the host thought about everything for your stay. We only had to bring food :) The outdoor shower was pleasantly surprising in a good way. I was nervous about the outhouse setup but it was great minus the bugs! The only thing I wish was different was the access to the lake I wish it was more on the water but otherwise it was a great trip. The host was always available for questions and helpful! Thank you!

Great little getaway!!

We absolutely loved this location, just wage we would’ve booked a few weeks earlier because the lake had been drained and that was one of the main reasons that we picked this location! We will be back!!

We had such a great time. It was a hot 3 days but the fans that were there kept the air circulating. We all had a much needed break from everything and the privacy was wonderful. We will try to come back in the fall.

First-Time Glampers

I’m so glad we chose this place as our first glamping experience. The location was private and peaceful. We were there in July, so it was warm at night, but we loved waking up to cool mornings and having coffee on the deck. We had fans at night to help us stay cool. One of our favorite things was the outdoor shower. The Smoky Mountains were incredibly beautiful. We hiked some of the trails, swam in the river and picnicked along the way. This was a wonderful vacation. We would definitely do it again!

Anniversary Getaway

It was an amazing getaway. Adrian was an amazing host and was always available if we had any questions. The property itself was beyond our expectations and had everything you needed. The outdoor shower was refreshing and you get used to using the loo style toilet. Heard alot of wildlife too! Also, the canoeing and fishing part was gret too! Very relaxing. Already booked again for a weekend getaway in October!

Wonderful bit of paradise!

The tent is absolutely wonderful and Adrian went above and beyond to make sure guests feel welcomed. Everything was well thought out from the firewood and kindling for a relaxing evening by the fire to the toiletries in the amazing outdoor shower. It got a bit chilly at night but the electric blanket provided kept us nice and toasty. Highly recommend staying here when coming to Sevierville. Close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon forge and the colors of the changing leaves made for a beautiful stay. Communication was great and any questions we had were answered promptly. Thank you for giving us a magical 5 year wedding anniversary trip!

Glamping

We had an amazing time camping. Loved the setup here. We were in a secluded area. Everything you need is here. Enjoyed listening to nature here. We heard an owl in the early morning. This is a place to relax and relieve stress. Wish I could have stayed longer. My hubby and I had a wonderful time. We also loved going to the Bush beans restaurant and museum on our way to the camp site that is close by. You cannot go wrong camping here. The place is nice lit up at night with lights around the porch of the tent and solar lights up the pathway. I cannot say enough about this site except I wish it was in my backyard.

Super cool stay

We had a great time! We love an adventure! The host - had excellent communication, had thoughtful touches, and had things available that we wouldn’t have thought about! This is definitely a unique experience! The outdoor shower was wonderful! We were able to prepare meals in the mini kitchen and on the grill and fire pit(there are some pots and pans provided). There is a 2 burner stove , sink and counter top in the kitchen (no refrigerator), but a cooler is provided! (Remember to pick up ice on your way ) there is a wagon (which is super useful) provided to assist with getting items to and from your car. There was plenty of wood for the campfire and an easily marked trail down to the lake! We did bring extra flash lights and a speaker to have some nice music by the fire. We will definitely stay here again! Absolutely loved it!

We had a great time exploring the coves on Douglas Lake in the canoe and paddle board. The lake water was clean and warm. Adrian was a great host. He was quick to respond to any issue that arose. The large fans were helpful to give us relief from the July humidity. The nearest grocery store is about 20 minutes away, which isn’t too bad. This was a perfect place to stop for a few nights on our way to the Smokies. Thanks Adrian!

This is a magnificent hide away. The tent is tucked away in a clearing making you feel like you're the only ones out there. Having lake access is an extremely nice perk for the summer months, the host has even provided a paddle board and canoe. To top it off the tent has running water and electricity.

My family and i stayed a week at the cabin. We wanted a vacation away from social media and electronics and this was the perfect place for it. Made a bunch of memories and played a bunch of games. We will be back when it is not so hot. The cabin had everything we needed, fans were provided and used very often, haha. The fireflies were amazing and the lake was amazing.
