About this property

Tamarca Hollow, A Nature Retreat

Welcome to Tamarca Hollow, A Nature Retreat! We are secluded carriage house retreat located in the hidden hills of western NC. A 700 sf space (above our garage) fully contained with all the comforts of home....but off the grid!
The driveway is a wee bit steep and gravel. Front wheel drive vehicles may be challenged to get back up, (going up in reverse works great!) All wheel/four wheel is suggested. There is parking available on the street at the top of our driveway. We are happy to assist you with shuttling services in our car if you choose. The unit has a full kitchen, shower only bathroom, queen bed in the bedroom, a queen sofa bed and a spare twin roll-away bed too. There is no wifi/cell or tv signal down in the hollow, but there is a tv with lots of good movies, music CD's, games, cards and puzzles. We are 30 minutes to the nearest town! We offer our guests a simple supper all ready for you on your day of arrival for an additional fee. We include some homemade breakfast treats such as muffins, biscuits & Belgium waffles, there is also cereal, grits & oatmeal available and the fridge is stocked with simple basic breakfast items (local farm fresh eggs, juice, yogurt/toppings, fresh fruit etc.) And of course coffee, which we roast ourselves, local teas & cocoa. We're tucked down in a hollow of almost 10 acres of hardwood trees and two creeks.....completely secluded! There is nothing like a private creekside picnic! We provide a deluxe picnic basket for you to fill with your own goodies or we can fill it for you with gourmet local delicacies (for additional fees) We've cut in a 1/4 mile circuit in our woods for a hike or jog or just sit down by the cascading creek and enjoy the sounds of nature. We are dog friendly, however your dog must be kind to ours! We have 2 intact male dogs, a yorkie and an adult Irish Wolfhounds. He is a very friendly gentle giant who roams free on our property.
Marc is an Wedding Officiant and we are now offering Elopement Services for our guests!

What a delightful place. Not only the amenities and local foods for breakfast, but the owner is amazing with communication and hospitality. Will definitely be back when we return to visit our daughter and her family who live in the area.

Wonderful place!

Marc and Tamara were wonderful and their property is beautiful. Tamarca Hollow was exactly what we were looking for. So peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. A short walk to the creek was perfect and you can also hear the creek while waking in the morning and while winding down on the deck at night. Wonderful hosts! So glad we were able to stay here.

Peace and Rest!

I highly recommend a stay at this beautiful hollow! I cannot express how exceptional the attention to detail was- right from initial communication with Tamara and Marc, to the lemon infused water chilled in the fridge! The place was beautiful and clean. The bubbling creek can be heard as you fall asleep, or sit on the porch with a morning brew. We enjoyed a toured walk through the forest on the property with Marc. Then took a beautiful hike to a waterfall that Tamara recommended. All in all, a perfect getaway which we will be sure to return to!

Mini resort get away

Tamara and Marc have a beautiful above garage apartment that has been well taken care of. The extra touches they add make your stay like you are at a resort. Such a treat staying here for a weekend and escaping the rushes of every day life.

Great Get Away

Loved the location and the set-up of the carriage house. The DVD collection was a super treat for us. Any glitches with communication were probably due to internet connections . Marc and Tamara were superb hosts !

Mountain Oasis

If you’re looking for an off the grid mountain oasis, this is your place! We are so jealous that Tamara and Marc get to wake up to this everyday! Their property is GORGEOUS! Tamara and Marc were also very flexible with us as we had to reschedule our trip dates. They are unbelievable hosts, too! They left an amazing summer salad, bread, cookies, yogurt, wine, cheese, crackers - you name it! They even left little dog treats for our boy! They took us on a tour of their property and then let us roam freely. They left hammocks for us to swing in and it was so peaceful and just what we needed! The house is super clean and just the perfect cabin feel! We loved listening to the frogs sing at night and just be at peace with nature. Tamara and Marc have the coolest dogs, too, who just loved our little man! We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to visit again! :-)

Beautiful, clean, comfortable, nature retreat

We had a wonderful weekend at the Tamarca Hollow. The space was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved exploring the property and going to the community lake/hiking trail that was only a 5 minute drive down the street. Tamara and Marc were awesome hosts who were quick to respond to any question we had and had an amazing dinner for us the first night along with tasty breakfast essentials in the fridge. We couldn’t have asked for a better relaxing weekend getaway! I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be coming back to make more memories!
