Romantic Smoky Mountain Safari Tent, King Bed, Hot Tub, Firepit, Soaking Tub

Step into a warm, glowing retreat where bamboo walls, soft lantern light, and rich textures wrap around you—this is Safari. Slip into the hot tub under the stars, fire crackling nearby, no stairs to climb… just arrive, exhale, and settle in.

Safari is a luxury safari tent at Elk Hollow, nestled in the Deep Creek area just outside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Unlike many of our elevated tents, Safari offers easy access with no steps to the main level, while still feeling tucked into the forest and fully immersed in nature.

From the outside, the stone-gray canvas blends seamlessly into the wooded surroundings. Inside, bamboo walls bring warmth and an earthy, grounded feel, complemented by deep charcoal and slate-gray tones. Rich red accents and layered textures add depth and a playful touch—creating a space that feels both cozy and elevated. A playful touch—like the cozy turtle-shaped footrest—adds personality, while layered rugs soften the space underfoot.

At the center, a luxurious king-sized bed framed in dark wood invites you in—dressed in soft gray linens, rusty red pillows, and golden accents. The bamboo-wrapped sleeping area and lantern-style lighting create an intimate, calming atmosphere perfect for rest.

The fully stocked kitchen features stainless steel appliances with natural bamboo accents, making it easy to prepare anything from a simple breakfast to a romantic dinner. The dining space is ideal for slow meals and quiet connection.

The spa-like bathroom includes a deep soaking tub and huge tile shower, while outside your private hot tub glows beneath magical string lights—two perfect ways to unwind at your own pace.

Step outside and the experience continues. The deck is designed for easy outdoor living, complete with a gas grill, fire pit, and comfortable seating. Evenings here are simple and memorable—grilling dinner, sharing a drink by the fire, and watching the stars come out overhead.

Inside, a leather armchair, loveseat, and board games invite you to linger a little longer. Just steps away, trails lead into the Deep Creek area, where waterfalls and scenic hikes are always within reach.

Located just about 2 miles from Bryson City, you’re close to charming shops, local restaurants, and small-town experiences—while still feeling completely tucked away in your own private escape.

Safari is romantic, grounded, and effortless—perfect for couples looking to reconnect, explore, and enjoy the Smoky Mountains without compromise.
