    Wow- what a view!
    6 m campervan
    John's land was a fantastic spot for us to park and stay for the night! The views are incredible, and we loved that there was a hose to fill up our water tank. We enjoyed sitting by the fire and watching the sun go down. It was easy to get to!

    10 m fifth wheel
    We really enjoyed our stay! The view is wonderful. Great view of the mountains and the night sky. John spent some time with us planning our adventure. His directions were spot on and took us exactly where we wanted to go. I want to visit again soon and again when the damage in NC has been cleaned up. Beautiful place. The only caution I can give is this isn't Pigeon Forge. The roads are a little narrow for our 35' fifth wheel but easily navigable, and the nearest store is 10 minutes away. It's just what we were looking for - peace and quiet with a view!

    Sunset Ridge is beautiful - John and Jenni found a wonderful slice of Appalachia to show off some truly beautiful views. Really happy we decided to stay there. Site was easy to find, water/electric were easy to hook up, and John had a lot of great suggestions for things to do and see. Will absolutely stay again.

    Amazing place! The views are some of the best I’ve ever seen from a camp site. It was quiet, remote and relaxing. John was a great host, I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get away

    If you want a stay with a view, you will get it. The pros: The spot had power, water, sewage, picnic table, fire ring, and a swing to sit on. The host introduced himself and quickly responded to questions I had. He offered a generator when the power went out. A few cons: The host had a dog that kept coming to the edge of the site to lay down. This is only a problem if you bring your own dog, which I did. The grass was pretty tall. The site is right off of a road. I only saw 3 cars in 3 days, so it's not busy. None of these would be deal breakers but are being communicated as general information.
