The perfect Smoky Mtn getaway
I feel so lucky to stumbled across this place. It was so peaceful and served it’s purposeful as a Smoky mtn place of rest. I spent two days in the creek house, reading, listening to the stream run under my room, and watching the summer thunder storms roll through. Maria has created a very special sanctuary that is so unique and has very cool design and layout. It’s family vibes where you can socialize and eat on Maria’s porch which I loved. The food was great and all of the amenities made my stay a joy!

Hit the spot!
Beautiful, well maintained hostel/campground that caters to hikers on the AP. Rolled in on a motorbike for one night and had the best time meeting the staff and hikers. Hospitality was top notch and paid extra for a meal cooked by staff that was healthy and hearty! Highly recommended if you are in the area!!!

Smokehouse in the Smokies
I absolutely loved Standing Bear! Maria and her staff are beyond kind and helpful, and the land is gorgeous. It is a little mountain paradise. I stayed an extra night because it was so wonderful. This place isn’t for everyone but it’s definitely for me. The communal kitchen, laundry, and fire pit were great, and I was so comfortable in the little smokehouse cabin on the creek. Very cozy annd private, and a fan kept it cool in the summer heat. Thanks for everything. I hope to come back again soon. ❤️
