Amazing views

Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.

As a two time hiker of the Appalachian Trail, my wife Julie and I have a dream of helping fellow hikers and those that wish to experience the outdoors in various ways. The area is close to many points on the trail as well as access to water sports. Julie is a great resource if you are interested in a short day hike or long-distance hiking.

Peaceful morning ☺️

Exactly as advertised! Tent pads were the exact size of the gazelle tent - perfect! Lovely view and nice having a hot shower. The host is so friendly and was so kind to come out and greet us/point out flat areas to pitch even though set backs on our drive had us arriving quite late at night.

Beautiful and Relaxing

My son and I spent three nights at Hiker's Rest while we did some hiking and site seeing at Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Julie and John were very accommodating hosts and provided excellent recommendations for our visit to the park. The amenities at the site were great for a three night visit, to include the outdoor shower, clean port-a-john and even the propane grill we had at our disposal. The beautiful morning sunrise over the Great Smoky Mountains was a wonderful touch. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Stunning hidden gem

Julie and Jon are wonderful hosts. The yard is absolutely gorgeous. There is tons of space to set up a tent. The fire pit was nice to sit around while viewing the mountains. I stayed on the Fourth of July, so aside from some neighborhood fireworks, it is extremely peaceful. Sounds of nature and local livestock provide a wonderful backdrop while viewing the mountains, stars, or going to sleep. Julie had several recommendations for hikes nearby and is very knowledgeable on the area. I would definitely recommend staying here, and hope to return.

Hiker's Rest - Bunkhouse

Great Spot

We had a great night at the Hiker’s Rest. The site was situated close to Great Smoky Mountain National Park and was a beautiful spot with mountain views. It was clean and comfortable for a night stop over on our cross country road trip. The Bunkhouse was air conditioned with fresh sheets, towels, and drinkable water. I would definitely recommend this stay!
