My husband and I travel every year for our anniversary and this place is our new favorite! The location is so quiet and peaceful but close to Bryson city downtown. The safari tent we stayed at had everything we needed and more. Lovely bathroom with a large shower and a bathtub to soak in. Host was available if we needed anything and getting to and in our place was so easy. Will definitely be back.
This place was much nicer it being my first for a tent. The inside was as comfortable as many 5 star hotels. We are already talking about a return trip. The surrounding area was quiet and peaceful. No one close by but convenient to down town. Bryson City was a treat with all the little shops and restaurants. Many attractions in the area.
Very clean. Had everything that was in the description. Quite and piecful. Not to far from town so if you need anything it doesnt take a long time to run out and get it. Everything worked. Hot tube is nice and private.I would recommend this place to anyone.My wife loved the deep bath tube.
Wonderful stay at Safari! The host has thought of everything! Hard to believe you're in a tent. Private enough with how each tent is positioned. The only concern we had was the mattress. Not bad just different. A little difficult to find the sweet spot but that would not keep us from staying again.

About the host
Hosted by Kendra Jackson
Hello, my name is Jeanetta, your host with Elk Hollow and I’m thrilled that you’re considering our property for your next Western North Carolina vacation!
After 34 years in the single-family rental industry, I decided to sell and consolidate everything into the Elk Hollow community. I love that its location is so close to the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It’s so quiet there, just a little piece of paradise waiting to be discovered. With tons of hardwood trees, a little stream, and lots of turkeys and deer wandering about, I could just soak it up forever.
There’s nothing more important to me than excellent customer service. I want all my guests to have a relaxing time and feel safe and comfortable. I really want them to find more to do than they have time for and have more fun than they expected!
As for me, I love gardening and all things outdoors. I love spending time with my family and hope that my two children and 6 grandchildren will all enjoy the mountains as much as I and their grandfather do.
It’s probably not a surprise that I enjoy traveling and experiencing new places. But I also love being home with my friends and family, and entertaining. It’s important to have a balance.
I hope to see you soon at Elk Hollow!
Why they chose this property
I love how close Elk Hollow is to the Deep Creek entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park—just minutes away from waterfalls, hiking, and tubing. Yet it feels like a peaceful hidden gem, tucked beneath a canopy of hardwood trees with a gentle stream and frequent visits from wildlife like turkeys and deer.
The nights are pure magic here. Cozy up by the fire pit and gaze at a sky full of stars—the perfect setting for an intimate evening. The night sky shines brilliantly, offering a breathtaking backdrop as you unwind by the fire.
Afterward, retreat to your luxurious Safari Tent or simply listen to the soothing sounds of the nearby brook, letting the serenity of the mountains wrap around you. Every moment at Elk Hollow is designed to feel relaxing, romantic, and truly unforgettable.
What makes this property unique
Get back to nature without sacrificing comfort and amenities at Safari, an authentic South African safari tent perfect for a romantic getaway, special anniversary celebration, or to swoon with your honey on a totally unique honeymoon! Although surrounded by forests and mountain views, you’ll be ensconced in modern amenities and feel completely pampered by our feather-soft king bed, exquisite spa-like bathroom, and outdoor hot tub with spectacular views of the stars.
