Spacious & Comfortable
Glamping Tent Near the Appalachian Trail
A 10' x 18' canvas tent on a platform with a real queen bed, linens and personal electric — sixty dollars, and you carry nothing.
Camping, minus the packing
Ten feet by eighteen, canvas on a platform, with a queen bed made up in linen and personal electric run to it. Two people sleep comfortably and there is floor room for two more with pads. Sixty dollars a night, and the only thing you need to arrive with is clothes.
It is the middle option here and, for a good chunk of the year, the best-value one. Between roughly May and September the nights are mild enough at 2,900 feet that canvas is all the structure anyone wants, and the forty-dollar gap between this and the yurt buys mostly hard walls and a mini fridge. Outside that window the yurt starts earning the difference.
Where it puts you
Grayson Highlands State Park is 2.4 miles up Highway 58, and Massie Gap — the trailhead people use to walk out to the wild ponies — is 6.4. Mount Rogers is a day hike, the Appalachian Trail runs past us at mile 496.5, and Cabin Creek is at the bottom of the field with rainbow, brown and native brook trout in it. There's a fuller list of what's within reach on our things near us page.
What's shared, and what this place is
The heated shower and the porta potties are shared and a short walk away. So are the rec room, the party deck and grill on the creek bank, Starlink WiFi and the spring water tap — all included. This is a working farm with goats, chickens, dogs and a cat, and we are still building parts of it out. People who arrive expecting a resort are disappointed; people who arrive expecting a mountain smallholding with a very good bed in it are not.
Carrying your own shelter already? Tent pads are fifteen dollars. Want walls and heat? The bunkhouse is forty.

Glamping tent questions
Is bedding provided?
Yes. The queen bed is made up with linen when you arrive. You do not need to bring a sleeping bag, though a warm layer for the evening is a good idea at this elevation.
How many people fit?
Two comfortably on the queen bed, with floor room to accommodate two more if they bring pads. The tent is 10' x 18'.
Is there electric in the tent?
Yes, personal electric — enough for charging, a light and a fan. There is no kitchen; if you want a fridge and a Keurig in your own space, that's the yurt.
What happens if it rains?
The tent is canvas on a platform and it handles weather perfectly well — you will hear the rain, which most people count as the point. In a genuinely bad forecast, or in the cold months, we would steer you toward the yurt or the bunkhouse instead. Call us and we'll tell you honestly what the week looks like.
