    If you want to escape to a remote area with no cell service or wifi, this is it. Great place and location.

    We had an incredible stay from start to finish! The barn offered a much needed break from work, school, and our electronics. We were able to unplug and just enjoy the creek and the beautiful grounds. We took several hikes nearby in Joyce Kilmer Wilderness, Huckleberry Knob, the AT, and Great Smokey Mountain National Park. The caretaker Frank was so friendly and helpful with anything we needed! God willing we will be back as soon as we can!

    What a fantastic place to stay. We absolutely loved it and didn't miss technology at all. We had just enough internet to check weather and that was all we needed. Hikes, playing in the creek and some board games in the evenings, or a hot chocolate by the fire. Beautiful scenery, fantastic accommodation and great people. Well worth it.

    We had a wonderful five nights this September in the Barn. Hoffman retreat is a special place! Many acres of hiking trails right on property! The creek I. Front and on the side of the barn was so peaceful and wonderful to fall asleep to. We did some Kayaking on Lake Santethlah, hiking in the smokies and cooked some amazing meals on the open campfire! Not having WiFi or a tv was the cherry on top! Two nights tropical storm Beta rained cats and dogs, which forced some card games and some reading. We always slept with the barn doors open, listening to the night. Sleeping to the pouring rain falling on the “Tin” roof was wonderful as well! Can’t say enough, it’s just wonderful!

    Im tempted to tell you nothing and keep this all to myself. Siiiiigh. It was perfect. Really just perfect. The creeks are gorgeous, the trails, the fireflies- everything is simply serene. My girls played in those creeks every waking moment. We found salamanders, built imaginary worlds, explored the property, photographed the diverse fungal life, watched elusive birds, grilled out every meal, hid away in the lofts, and hiked and hiked and hiked. We even figured out how to work a wood burning stove for thr chilly nights. The shower is fantastic! The cabin is well supplies. This is where primitive meets convenience. Highly recommend!

    Great property! Very peaceful. There is no A/C, but even with highs in the low 80 and lows in the mid fifties at night, it was perfect. Love the decorations and setting.
