About this property
Entire place
The Perch: Glamping by Rafting
Spacious dome furnished with hotel quality beds & linens, kitchenette, & table. A private bathhouse with hot shower sink & flush toilet allows for complete comfort with a wild side. Wanderlust Woods is nestled on the edge of the stunning Smoky Mountains & minutes from rafting & hiking and skip the traffic to Gatlinburg by going the back way for a day trip
If you need anything, cohost Jamey is just a phone call away (check out 4000+ 5-star reviews). We are more than happy to answer questions or offer help if you need it. Just message or call and we'll either send someone by or handle any concerns personally.
Wanderlust Woods is located in Cocke County Tennessee near the towns of Cosby and Hartford, 10 minutes from the Interstate and is situated very near the boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The natural beauty of the area is unparalleled with views of the Smokies at almost every turn. Hiking, fishing, white water rafting, and ziplining are all within a 10 mile radius of the property. Gatlinburg, TN is a 25 minute drive and Asheville, NC is just over an hour, offering guests options for fun day trips in the area.
You’re welcome to explore our 10 acres of property including 900 ft of creek frontage, a hiking trail to the ridge, and mountain views. We ask that you do not enter any other of our glamping spots. No one else has access to your dome or your private bathhouse.
This open-concept Geodome sleeps 6 with 1 queen bed, a twin-over-full bunk with twin underneath, and sleeper chair. Bedding and fluffy comforters provided for all (mattresses are high quality memory foam except sleeper chair & futon which include memory foam topper for added comfort)
Kitchenette includes:
*Small fridge & freezer
*Electric cooktop with pots and pan
*Toaster oven
*Microwave
*Coffee maker with coffee & fixings
*Gas grill with bbq tools
*Coffee cups, wine glasses, and drinking cups
*Disposable plates, bowls, and cutlery
Your private bathhouse is steps away with a flushing toilet, vanity sink, and hot shower with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, provided as well as dish soap and sponge for washing dishes. Outside you'll enjoy a fire pit area with seating for 6 plus a picnic table sheltered from the weather by a rain sail.
You’ll soon forget that you’re supposed to be “roughing it.” Take a seat around your private firepit or at the picnic table while you wait for dinner to finish on the gas grill and enjoy the view of the creek--you may see a family of bears or flock of wild turkeys!
Minutes from rafting & kayaking on the Pigeon river or hiking in the National Park and 25 min to Gatlinburg. Nearby mountain towns of Cosby & Newport offer groceries, restaurants, and unique shops for the perfect souvenir.
Our address is 910 Windy Hill Way, Cosby, TN 37722 but we have found GPS sometimes falls short as you get close. There are many possible routes to get to Wanderlust Woods, some of which are one-lane roads that we do not recommend.
Due to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we suggest that you access our property from US-321 / TN-32 (aka E. Parkway from Gatlinburg).
If coming from I-40, take exit 435 onto TN-32 S. In 5.5 miles turn right onto US-321 S and then left to stay on 321 S. Continue straight for almost 10 miles when you will turn left on Trail Hollow Road (there is a sign for Chestnut Baptist Church on this corner).
Follow Trail Hollow Road for about 1 mile and turn left onto Phillips Road. (Be mindful that Trail Hollow Road makes a sharp, 90 degree left turn, about half way to Phillips Road.) Once you turn onto Phillips Road you will pass a house on your right. Take the first right onto Windy Hill Way. This is our road. You will pass two neighbors' driveways on the left and go all the way to the end where you will see our large wooden sign and Wanderlust Woods is just over the bridge.
You will also want to take a look at the Guide with your check-in instructions for how to access your glamping spot (after filling out the pre-arrival form)
We don’t have great cell reception at the property, so make sure you screenshot the directions and check in instructions ahead of time or log into our Wi-Fi when you get to the bridge. You can set up Wi-Fi calling on your phones in order to stay in touch with family and friends while you’re glamping.
Running water is provided in your private bathhouse next door to the dome. This is where you'll wash dishes and access water for coffee, cooking, and drinking. You'll find a large pitcher of cold water waiting for you in the fridge when you arrive.
We will offer directions that avoid the worst roads but you will encounter gravel and a few ruts coming into the property. Any vehicle can make it fine when taking it slow but a larger vehicle with higher clearance is preferred. Only in winter when there is snow and ice is 4wd recommended.
We provide coffee, creamer, sugar, snacks, plus all the bedding, towels, soap, TP, etc that you’ll need for your stay.
The Cosby entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park is 3 mi in one direction, rafting on the Pigeon River is 3 mi in another direction, and we can show you some beautiful fishing spots for bass & trout less than 3 miles from our place.
The following does NOT apply to reservations made on Airbnb (who has their own vetting & resolution process). For all other booking platforms, guests are required to complete our pre-arrival process including a photo of a valid ID, signing our rental conditions, and submitting a valid credit or debit card to be pre-approved for a security deposit (card will not be charged just authorized in case of damage or rule violation). This process needs to be completed before check-in.
