Gorgeous Stays (Camping,Tiny Homes, & Unique Stays) - Bryson City, North Carolina

Joseph Ciasullo

There’s so much to say about this place. First off the grounds and all the different rooms here are adorable. My dream is to have all my friends stay here together and rent them all out. The dog, golden retriever Honey was one of the best behaved and sweetest creatures I’ve ever encountered. My stay was due to some really dire circumstances and it’s like she knew I needed a friend. On top of that both Wendy and Scott are two of the most amazing people and gracious hosts. They went above and beyond to make me comfortable and accommodate me. They helped find me a ride where I needed to go. I will never forget these people for the kindness they showed me in a dark time. Thank you so much!!! Cya soon

Wonderful place to stay. I was hiking the AT when Hurricane Helene hit this area, forcing me off trail. The folks here were the best refuge in a storm I could wish to find. My little cabin has everything and the host family was welcoming and accommodating, even in a difficult situation. Especially great mix of privacy and social time.

The tiny houses are a major major GO. The tents would also be AWESOME. I will be making an entire trip just to go here more prepared!! Driving at night about 8:30pm, extremely dark, almost passed the downward entrance. SO glad I didn’t. I’m in love with everything about it.

This is our go-to place when anywhere near this area! Wendi and Scott have thought of everything! All we have to do is throw some clothes in a bag, food in a cooler and travel! 2 1/2 hours from metro ATL. From tent camping to buses and tiny homes and even tent decks! This place has it all!

The best part is how welcoming and friendly Wendi and Scott are! We loved spending time at the lodge and having our meals up there. They told us about a local swim hole and it was fantastic!

Honey, the resident dog watcher, keeps everything and everyone in line and you can entice her with a piece of bacon for sure!

Bathhouses were the most clean and functional I’ve ever seen! They have all the supplies you need - trowels, soap, body wash.

Go rafting with Fast Rivers and stop for ice cream at Sara’s sweet spot too!

We will definitely be back soon!

We chose this option while car camping. The other rooms look amazing and are out of the ordinary. We stayed at campsite 2. It’s the most secluded and had a small stream running near it which was incredibly peaceful to listen to at night. Not really big enough to do more than get your feet wet, but relaxing nonetheless. It was nice and shaded all day. We stayed in the middle of July and almost missed our rafting trip at 11 am due to being able to sleep in. There is a nice community pavilion equipped with picnic tables and grills that you can use. The community bathrooms and showers were well maintained and clean. The lodge is open 24/7 there and is equipped with all sorts of games and even a guitar and ukulele. While the place is absolutely gorgeous and the facilities are great, the BEST part was that it’s ran by a warm welcoming family that prioritizes guest comfort and genuine southern charm while giving you their cell phone number. In the lodge, there is 24 hr access to general store type items including food which I think is a big deal since lots of other stores in the area close down at night possibly leaving you hungry. We had AT&T and service was limited. They did have WiFi, but I never connected. A great place to stay and people that make you glad you chose to spend your money there.

My friend and I booked the The Crown Jewel British Double Decker. It was perfect for us. I took the upper and she the lower. The toilet area was private and clean. The bus offered us just enough space where we were not on top of each other. It's at the top of the site and kind of stands alone so it's super quiet. The walk to the bathhouse was bearable.

The bathhouse was extremely clean with towels, wash clothes readily available as well as soap, shampoo and feminine hygiene products. Scott and Wendi were amazing hosts who make you feel at home. This will be my go-to place when I am in that part of NC.

We’ve been coming to the Gorge for 7+ years and this is our new favorite place to stay! My partner and I camped for 2 nights on the gorgeous lawn and we were blown away by the thoughtfulness and love that Wendi and Scott have put into this place. They have all the amenities a camper or glamper would need like a clean bathroom WITH towels, commissary with coffee, grills with propane, place to clean your camp cookware, etc. Come for the quality and amenities and stay for the hospitality and kindness of the family who owns it. Such a great experience, we can’t wait to come back!

From the moment I spoke with Wendy, the new owner I knew my second year gorgeous stays was going to be even more amazing than the first. The new owners are very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The houses are warm and cozy clean and the location is perfect especially for rafting, I highly recommend gorgeous stays for a new experience and a chance at growing socially
