Canopy Tent

★ A treehouse safari tent built for two, high in the trees.

Canopy is a canvas safari tent perched on a private deck in the treetops at Elk Hollow, one of the most secluded spots on the property. Guests keep calling it a treehouse, and that's the feeling: birdsong, swaying treetops, and the Smokies in the distance.

This is glamping, not camping. The walls are canvas, but the comforts aren't: a full kitchen, a spa-style bath, heat and AC, and keyless entry. You'll fall asleep to rain on the canvas and wake to the woods, which is the point.

The most-praised part is the soaking. A private hot tub on the deck looks into the mountains, and inside there's a spa-style soaking tub with a walk-in rainfall shower. Soak under the stars, soak out of the weather, soak twice in a day.

♥ WHO IT'S FOR
Couples. Anniversaries, honeymoons, or a quiet weekend off the grid. It sleeps two and is secluded by design, so it's a getaway, not a party house. First time staying in a tent? Guests tell us this is the one that changes their mind.

🚗 GETTING HERE
The access road is steep with a turn along the way, so we recommend an AWD or 4WD vehicle, especially in rain. Plenty of guests make it in a 2WD, and there's a lower parking spot with a short uphill walk if you'd rather not drive the top. It's the trade for how private and elevated the tent feels. Five minutes from downtown Bryson City, right by the Deep Creek entrance to the Smokies.

➳ GOOD TO KNOW
It's a canvas safari tent, so you'll hear the rain, the birds, and a bit more of the outdoors than a cabin. There are about seven steps to enter, three at the front and four at the back. It's glamping with a full kitchen, spa bath, and heat and AC, not roughing it, but the canvas and the steps are real and worth picturing before you book.
