Foxfire, Luxury 2BD 2BA Authentic Safari Tent, Upscale GLAMPING among the Trees

🦊 Foxfire – A Luxe Safari Tent for Two Couples or the Ultimate Double Date
When the daily grind gets too loud, Foxfire offers the perfect escape—where the crackle of a fire pit, birdsong in the canopy, and a private hot tub under the stars await. Designed with two private king suites, this upscale safari tent is ideal for two couples or a double date getaway looking to unwind in style.

With walkable access to two other luxury safari tents—Serengeti and Swallowtail—Foxfire is also great for small groups who want to stay close, but still have their own space.

✨ What Makes Foxfire Special?
Living Spaces
This tent blends the wild and the refined, with butter-soft leather seating, patterned armchairs, and a Smart TV for movie nights. The open-air living room is stylish, cozy, and ready for everything from game night to wine and conversation.

Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen dazzles with pops of red, stainless-steel appliances, and granite countertops—a fully stocked space perfect for whipping up anything from snacks to full feasts. Enjoy meals at the high-top table inside or dine al fresco on the private deck.

Bedrooms & Baths
Two spacious king suites feature plush bedding, smart TVs, and enough room to stretch, relax, or even sneak in a yoga session. Each suite has its own spa-like ensuite bathroom with beautiful tile, warm wood accents, and luxurious walk-in showers.

Outdoor Perks

Propane grill for cookouts

Private fire pit for s’mores, stories, and starry skies

First time Glamping

This was my very first “glamping” experience and it didn’t disappoint. The tent was absolutely beautiful and the host was amazing. I would recommend some mosquito netting around the outside recliners to minimize bugs, but other than that the property is amazing. I will be recommending this location to friends and family

Property is beautiful! They were doing a lot of construction, the road is very narrow so that was a little tough to get around. Otherwise a wonderful clean place to relax?

Beautiful view, clean and fun

My husband and I were here for a long weekend getaway. We really enjoyed the safari tent as we have never stayed in something like this before. We didn’t have a chance to use the fire pit but we did use the hot tub which was great. The tent was very clean, and we did have a small issue with the electric lock, but the owner was very quick to reply and help us out. The only thing I would suggest to the owner would be to put some rugs down as the floor does get very cold, especially this time of year All in all everything was great and we would definitely stay here again.

An absolutely wonderful unique experience!

We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend away celebrating our 1st anniversary. The home is so unique and offers a different escape in to the mountains. You feel as if you’re sitting in the tree tops when you’re relaxing on the outdoor recliners or enjoying the hot tub. Waking up to the sound of birds chirping and the colorful trees was exactly what we needed. The home was very clean, the kitchen had everything we needed, and despite the fact that it was a tent and the temps at night were in the 40s we were very comfortable day and night. The owner was very responsive with any questions as well! There are steps going down to the tent that would be challenging for someone with any sort of issues walking/climbing but otherwise the location and travel was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Kendra Jackson

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Jeanetta – your host at Elk Hollow Resort!

Thank you for considering one of our Elk Hollow properties for your Western North Carolina getaway!

After 34 years in the rental industry—and with the steady support of my husband, Mike—I chose to simplify life and pour my heart into building a peaceful, one-of-a-kind retreat in Bryson City, NC. Just half a mile from the Deep Creek entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Elk Hollow Resort is truly my slice of paradise. With quiet surroundings, a gentle stream, hardwood trees, and frequent visits from wild turkeys and deer, it's a place that continuously feeds the soul.

Creating a warm, welcoming guest experience is my top priority. I want every visitor to feel relaxed, safe, and completely at home—with more to do than they have time for, and more fun than they ever expected!

I’m happiest outdoors and cherish time with my two children, six wonderful grandchildren, and lifelong friends. We’ve made countless special memories in the mountains, and I hope you will too.

Although I love exploring new places, my favorite moments are still found at home—entertaining, connecting, and enjoying the simple joy of time well spent with loved ones.

I can’t wait to welcome you to Elk Hollow!

Why they chose this property

Elk Hollow Resort was created to offer guests a serene and peaceful escape in the heart of Deep Creek, designed to blend naturally into its forested surroundings. Every detail—from the layout of the lodging to the preservation of the land—was thoughtfully planned to minimize disruption to the landscape and maintain the integrity of the environment.

Here, you can truly unplug and immerse yourself in the sounds of nature—birds singing, leaves rustling, and the quiet hum of the forest all around you. Though just minutes from the Deep Creek entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with its waterfalls, hiking trails, and tubing adventures, Elk Hollow feels like a hidden gem—tucked beneath a canopy of hardwood trees, with a gentle stream and regular visits from turkeys and deer.

At night, the experience becomes magical. Cozy up by the fire pit and gaze at a sky blanketed with brilliant stars—the perfect setting for an intimate evening. As the fire crackles and the mountain air cools, the stillness is breathtaking.

Afterward, retreat to your luxurious Safari Tent, or simply relax by the soothing sounds of the brook. Whether you're here for romance, reflection, or reconnection, every moment at Elk Hollow is designed to be relaxing, immersive, and unforgettable.

What makes this property unique

Welcome to Foxfire in Elk Hollow, a lovely community of glamping accommodations in the forests outside of Bryson City, NC. An authentic South African safari tent awaits, perfect for two couples who each have a dedicated primary suite! Ideal for when you want to get away from it all without sacrificing the amenities that make vacation feel like vacation. Feel completely pampered by our feather-soft king beds, spa-like bathrooms, and outdoor hot tub with unforgettable views on the huge deck.
