Moonshine Hollow Dome by Rafting
Enjoy a one of a kind experience with our modern mountain retreat nestled in Wanderlust Woods––hosting a flowing creek, wildlife & plenty of space to wander. Nearby GSMNP hiking, rafting, fishing, fresh air & dark starry nights
Welcome to Moonshine Hollow––a spacious, designer-curated geodesic dome that reimagines the traditional cabin experience through a unique immersive stay, perfect for a memory-making family getaway or fun-filled trip with friends to clear your mind from everyday stresses.
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, tubing, 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 main level of the dome consists of calming blues with mountain boho vibes— a bedroom (king bed), living room with a sofa & chaise, comfy chairs, coffee table, smart TV and an entire wall of windows that look out onto sun-dappled creek. Additionally, you'll find a dining table that seats 6, fully-equipped kitchen and the bathroom with a double vanity, flushing toilet, and tub/shower you may never want to leave. Upstairs in the loft you’ll find a queen bed and sleeper chair for a recommended capacity of up to 6 guests.
Outside next to the creek is a round dining table with chairs, fire pit with comfy gliders, a hammock, and fire pit with firewood provided (no fire starter).
Our address is 910 Windy Hill Way, Cosby, TN 37722 but we have found GPS sometimes falls short as you get close. There are many possible routes to get to Wanderlust Woods, some of which are one-lane roads that we do not recommend.
Due to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we suggest that you access our property from US-321 / TN-32 (aka E. Parkway from Gatlinburg).
If coming from I-40, take exit 435 onto TN-32 S. In 5.5 miles turn right onto US-321 S and then left to stay on 321 S. Continue straight for almost 10 miles when you will turn left on Trail Hollow Road (there is a sign for Chestnut Baptist Church on this corner).
Follow Trail Hollow Road for about 1 mile and turn left onto Phillips Road. (Be mindful that Trail Hollow Road makes a sharp, 90 degree left turn, about half way to Phillips Road.) Once you turn onto Phillips Road you will pass a house on your right. Take the first right onto Windy Hill Way. This is our road. You will pass two neighbors' driveways on the left and go all the way to the end where you will see our large wooden sign and Wanderlust Woods is just over the bridge.
You will also want to take a look at the Guide with your check-in instructions for how to access your glamping spot (after filling out the pre-arrival form)
We don’t have great cell reception at the property, so make sure you screenshot the directions and check in instructions ahead of time or log into our Wi-Fi when you get to the bridge. You can set up Wi-Fi calling on your phones in order to stay in touch with family and friends while you’re glamping.
We will offer directions that avoid the worst roads but you will encounter gravel and a few ruts coming into the property. Any vehicle can make it fine when taking it slow but a larger vehicle with higher clearance is preferred. Only in winter when there is snow and ice is 4wd required.
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.
The following does NOT apply to reservations made on Airbnb (who has their own vetting & resolution process). For all other booking platforms, guests are required to complete our pre-arrival process including a photo of a valid ID, signing our rental conditions, and submitting a valid credit or debit card to be pre-approved for a security deposit (card will not be charged just authorized in case of damage or rule violation). This process needs to be completed before check-in.

Great Glamping
Very cozy place!! Loved it. Everything was really clean and everything worked as it was supposed to. Very clear instructions. Would have love more if other sites were farther apart. When I picked it I thought it was a stand alone glamping but regardless it was a great experience.

Awesome Experience
Unbelievable location, great accommodations, the creek running right beside the property provided relaxation and activities for my children. First class location, glamping at its best. Definitely will be back and have already referred several other families.
