Huckleberry, Upscale & Cozy Stunning Glamping near GSMNP, Authentic Safari Tent

Slip into your private hot tub under a sky full of stars, fire crackling nearby, the forest wrapped around you—this is Huckleberry. Quiet, tucked away, and made for slowing down together.

Huckleberry is a luxury safari tent at Elk Hollow, hidden in its own peaceful pocket of the woods just outside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Designed for comfort, connection, and a little bit of magic, it’s the kind of place where time softens and everything feels easier.

Inside, the space is open, airy, and inviting—filled with natural light, warm textures, and cozy touches that make it easy to settle in. Sink into the overstuffed chairs, stream your favorite show, or simply sit back with a cup of coffee and watch the forest move just beyond the French doors.

The fully equipped kitchen makes staying in effortless, whether it’s a slow breakfast or a romantic dinner for two. With a full-size refrigerator, gas range, oven, dishwasher, and everything you need, you can dine inside at the high-top table or step out onto the deck for an evening under the string lights.

The bedroom is anchored by a king-size handcrafted barnwood bed—soft linens, warm tones, and quiet surroundings creating the perfect place to rest and recharge. Nearby, the spa-like bathroom invites you to slow down with a soaking tub, oversized tiled walk-in rain shower, and plush towels that make it feel indulgent without trying too hard.

Step outside and everything opens up. The wraparound deck is your private escape—complete with a grill for easy outdoor meals, cozy seating areas, and a hot tub waiting beneath the stars. Just a few steps away, the firepit becomes the heart of your evening—perfect for unwinding, reconnecting, and lingering a little longer.

Surrounded by nature, you may catch glimpses of deer, elk, or other wildlife passing through, adding to the quiet, immersive feel of the space.

Located just minutes from Bryson City, you’re close to waterfalls, hiking, tubing, and local charm—yet it still feels like your own private retreat.
