Wake to the sounds of a babbling brook & bird song through the skylight; lounge outdoors under hemlock & holly trees with a cup of coffee. At night enjoy the canopy of stars & planets without light pollution. Welcome to Whispering Waters- a cozy geodesic dome @ Wanderlust Woods. So remote you’d never guess that you're only 5 mi from trails in the National Park or the best rafting & zip lining in the Smokies + 25 min to Gatlinburg. Ideal for a unique mountain retreat with an immersive experience.
This listing is brand new, but check out our other 5 star places @ Wanderlust woods for reviews on guests’ experiences (found on our host page)

We provide coffee, creamer, sugar, snacks, plus all the bedding, towels, soap, TP, etc that you’ll need for your stay.

The Cosby entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park is 3 mi in one direction, rafting on the Pigeon River is 3 mi in another direction, and we can show you some beautiful fishing spots for bass & trout less than 3 miles from our place.
If you need anything, cohost Jamey is just a phone call away (check out 3500+ 5-star reviews). We are more than happy to answer questions or offer help if you need it. Just message or call and we'll either send someone by or handle any concerns personally.
Wanderlust Woods is located in Cocke County Tennessee near the towns of Cosby and Hartford, 10 minutes from the Interstate and is situated very near the boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The natural beauty of the area is unparalleled with views of the Smokies at almost every turn. Hiking, fishing, white water rafting, and ziplining are all within a 10 mile radius of the property. Gatlinburg, TN is a 25 minute drive and Asheville, NC is just over an hour, offering guests options for fun day trips in the area.
You’re welcome to explore our 10 acres of property including 900 ft of creek frontage, a hiking trail to the ridge, and mountain views. We ask that you do not enter any other of our glamping spots. No one else has access to your dome.
The open floor plan consists of colorful boho energy with queen bed & twin roll-away, table for 3, comfy chairs in the main space, a full size bathroom with shower & flush toilet, kitchenette with refrigerator, sink, air fryer/toaster oven, 2-burner hot plate with pots & pans, plus a microwave. Additionally, you'll enjoy a wall-sized vista window that overlooks the sun-dappled creek and forest. Outside take a seat in one of the hammock chairs, around the fire pit, or at the table with umbrella while you wait for dinner to finish on the gas grill and enjoy the view--you may see a family of bears or flock of wild turkeys!

You will need a vehicle to get to the property then can walk everywhere in Wanderlust Woods itself. Only in winter when ice is on the roads is a 4wd vehicle preferred
