I loved tent camping on Dianne and Garry’s land!!! We came in a bit late but the campsite was easy to find and when we woke up the next morning Dianne came around to help us with starting a fire with kerosene even though everything was damp. Dianne and Garry are the definition of southern hospitality and made our stay just that much more smooth, with great wifi and providing a place for us to charge our devices. We loved fishing in the creek as well! Thank you all for your hospitality!

I can’t say enough good things about Garry & Dianne and the experience they have put together for guests in their little slice of the Appalachians. I showed up after a day of mountain biking in Boone and realized I forgot the ladder to my roof top tent and Dianne was kind enough to offer me their creek front cabin for me and my pup to spend the night in. These people are the epitome of southern hospitality. If you want a convenient place to lay low near Boone and you enjoy fishing this place is meant for you. The creek that flows literally right in front of the campsite has some great holes filled with trout and smallmouth that you could cast into from your camp stool at the fire pit. Also if you have a pup that likes to run around off leash you can let them off with no worries. The property is closed in by the creek on ones side and a steep incline on the other with nice soft grass in between for dogs to run all their energy out. If I could give six stars I would. Thank you Dianne and Garry for the wonderful experience.

I felt very safe camping here, which is important for me as I’m a solo female traveler. Diane was wonderful to talk to and was so sweet and accommodating. The bathroom was very clean and I loved falling asleep to the sound of the creek.

This spot was gorgeous! Stayed on site 2 by the creek. Sleeping with the sounds of the creek was so nice. Loved the location, not busy but not too far from areas we were visiting. Host were great, bathroom clean and site was well maintained. Wi-Fi signal was OK but not super strong by the creek, but this is not a deal breaker at all since peace and relaxation was what we were looking for. Signal is better at the top. I would definitely stay again!
