Chef operated complex next to Tuckasegee river access and close to Dillsboro/Sylva Savor Carolina - welcomes you to a very unique cabin/campground complex in the heart of the Smoky Mountain region of NC. Nestled on a ridge next to the famous Tuckasegee river with access close by and minutes from the quaint towns of Dillsboro and Sylva. The complex is extremely convenient to the interstate and all that the Smokey Mountain region has to offer but provides the serenity needed to truly Savor your mountain experience. The complex consists of two cabins with en suite full baths, 1 sleeper cabin with two queen beds and for the more adventurous, a great glamping tent, all with queen beds. en suite cabins are roomy enough for portable cribs/blow up mattress/dog beds etc. Depending on your needs and setup the complex can handle groups of 6-12. The common area includes a fully equipped kitchen building with all the facilities including a washer and dryer plus another full bath for common use. Outside cooking/grilling/smoking and dining pavilions along with a fire pit is provided. Best of all, you can choose to use the cooking facilities yourself or arrange Chef Ryan to take care of certain meals for you. The property is 9 acres and Ryan is onsite to assist and take care of any needs you may have. The site does have high speed internet/WiFi but we hope you ignore those things and savor your time and experience with friends and family. The listing price is to rent the entire complex and there is no extra charge for pitching tents, bringing a small camper etc.(4 car max/12 ppl max) No crazy pet, cleaning and service fees. Chef services are very reasonable and will be quoted on an individual basis. Inaugural season special: Free breakfast prepared by Chef Ryan for any 2 night rental of the complex. Individual and unit combo rentals are available, see our 2, 4, 6 person listing

Savor Carolina - Entire Complex
Savor was the perfect spot for our family getaway. Ryan was a great host and always made sure we had what we needed. We had 10 people in our group (5 andults and 5 kids) and we had plenty of space at his site. They also allow dogs which was a plus for us. The spot itself had all we needed to be comfortable, including a great kitchen with anything you might need to cook a meal. The accommodations were very comfortable. There were horseshoes and a corn hole set to use which gave us a great family activity in the evening. It is less than 5 minutes to Dillsboro, about 10 minutes to Sylva and 20 minutes to Bryson City where the Nantahala Outdoor Center is located. All great mountain towns to explore. Ryan also offers his service as a chef which we took him up on. If you visit I definitely recommend having him cook for you. Both meals we had were excellent. This is a unique space for “glamping” and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun mountain experience.

Cabin 2 & Glamping Tent
We loved Savor Carolina!
We highly recommend Ryan’s place! The cabins were exactly right, with everything that you need. The tent was my favorite and I haven’t slept so well in years. Ryan cooked for us and it was such a treat! His food is delicious and he grows many of the things he uses. We will definitely be back!

Glamping Tent Chef run Complex
Amazing Glamping/Chef experience
The host Ryan went above and beyond and definitely exceeded our expectations. I loved the tent because there were zip-up windows all around that you could open or close so you felt immersed in nature. The outdoor amenities (lighting, picnic tables, etc) are really stylish. The community kitchen is super clean and organized. You really must do the chef dining option because it was so amazing and a great value. We’ll come back and check out the cool town of Sylva more next time.

A hidden Gem
What a perfect getaway. Glamping of the highest order. Facilities immaculate. Chef Ryan was a wonderful host, totally accommodating and very kind to our older not so well dog as well as an extraordinary Chef. The location was perfect, only minutes from Dillsboro and Sylva, 2 neat towns with their own exquisite. individuality. The site was private and tranquil despite its convenience to the local towns. You do not need to overpack for this trip. Most of the things you think you might need are already there and included.

Cabin 1 Chef ran complex
Perfect cabin experience
Ryan's property was exactly as pictured and absolutely beautiful! I came to seclude myself for a few days to work on my novel and the cozy cabin was the perfect type of getaway for what I needed. Plus, the property was so welcoming - I chilled on the hammock, we had breakfast at the outdoor table, hung out by the fire pit, and even played with his dogs and other pups visitors brought. You can tell Ryan put A LOT of work into the construction of this campsite, including the vibe and amenities. Also, he is an AMAZING chef so I would recommend opting IN for some of his cooking. I will definitely be back for another writing retreat or even renting the entire place out with some friends for a delightful change of scenery.
