Beautiful cabins set into a hillside, ran by Extremely nice and welcoming people. Very close to downtown Robbinsville but just fair enough away so it's nice and quiet. Can't recommend enough!!

The campground is the perfect location for riding all the best roads in the area. It is also close to gas & groceries. I stayed in the smallest cabin available & it was just perfect. The owner Alan was super helpful and knowledgeable of the logistics and locations of local attractions. I will be booking again for next season's visit!

Very good, quirky, cabins and campground catering to motorcycle riders. We had a large campsite with two picnic tables, electricity, and trees for our daughter's hammock. Water spigot was adjacent to the site. Wonderful visit! We only wish they would add a second bathhouse.

Second visit done and it’s still the best place to stay in the area. It’s close to the dragon and the other awesome routes. Alan thanks for the hospitality and I’m sure we’ll meet again.

We stayed for the CHD10 event and the cabin was just minutes from the Tail of the Dragon. The Dragon’s Lair is a very cozy cabin, a little further away from the others which allowed for a more quiet stay and increased privacy! The view from the higher elevation was beautiful. Allen is a wonderful host and takes pride in his property. He was very accommodating with our check in/check out times. He also has facilities on site to clean your vehicle if you need to for any events you may be attending. This was my first time at the tail, and first stay at Simple Life Mountain Retreat and I’ll definitely be coming back for future tail visits!

Perfect location for all the fantastic roads around the area. The owner goes out of his way to make sure you have everything. As an adventure rider getting a single cabin is perfect.

I had an exceptional experience staying at Simple Life Cabins & Campground. My friend and I rented two single-occupancy cabins (Bear's Den and Duckling Nest) for a multi-day motorcycle tour of the area. The cabins were all we needed. Alan is an exceptionally courteous host and I hit it off with him immediately. If you are trailering your motorcycle to the campground he has a safe, proven process for unloading/loading your bike. There is plenty of space to unhitch your trailer and park your vehicle right next to your cabin. The bath house was clean and the shower was nice and hot! The campground is located right off US-129 for easy access to Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, and many more roads. Yet it's also just far enough from the main streets of Robbinsville that the campground is quiet. Cabins are priced very affordably and Alan is very responsive to any questions you may have. Come enjoy the Simple Life for your next Smoky Mountain getaway!

Owner is awesome, very helpful and extremely personable. I loved the place and reasonable rates. The hill is a bit steep if that bothers you but a great place to stay.

Great place to stay. Very clean room, clean sites and a relaxed atmosphere. Alan provides top notch customer service and local knowledge. Be sure to buy some of his honey from his own apiary on the grounds. You won't be disappointed.
