Unique Stay Experience -make fun memories and Instagramable Moments! Glamping: You’ll be camping in the city! Couples and Family Friendly! NO PETS, NO DRUGS, NO PARTIES. Please read all details.Do you love Airconditioning and don't like all the work of camping! Ha! :) That's why they set up a Glamping site for you! The best part? You don’t have to haul it or set it up. All you have to do is book it and show up ready to camp! No carrying heavy equipment, setting up, or breaking down! Airconditioning yes! NO SMOKING inside. Our Tiny House-style camper/cabin is situated in the back of our yard, surrounded by the foliage from decades-old camellias. Although in the city, 6 mins from I75, it feels secluded and private.
There are lots of things to do nearby like Wild Adventures and State Parks!
This location is quite special. When they first bought their home, Casey and Mary Corbin didn’t realize that the original owner, the late Mr. Hulyn Smith, was a Big Deal in the world of camellias, a beautiful flowering tree. He used the yard and the lot next door to propagate many camellias that don’t exist anywhere else! The first time the Corbins saw the yard, it was dark outside and the yard was overgrown and neglected, but Mary noticed that all these trees had tags on them, and she knew she had found a treasure. They are currently in the process of rehabilitating the camellia garden and hope to return it to its original glory. In the winter/spring months, the entire yard is covered in a huge variety of blooms- it’s gorgeous!
Nestled in the trees at the back of the property, it really does feel like you are camping-- in the city. The Two Mile Creek runs through the back of the lot on its path to the Withlacoochee River. You can watch the fish, frogs, and turtles, and listen to the water bubble over the rocks. The creek is also in the process of rehabilitation after years of neglect. The property is frequented by wildlife and has been visited by a family of deer, raccoons, possums, squirrels, many species of songbirds, and hummingbirds. There is even an owl we have affectionately named Solomon who roosts in a tree by the creek, and he will “talk” to you as the sun goes down each night.
The “Little Leaf Cabin” is a unique tiny home/camper. According to research, it is one of only 40 campers made by the company in this “cabin retreat” style. You'll be staying in a tiny art gallery as the Corbins are both artists. Original paintings, the natural twisting porch railings, and hand-painted tile backsplash, the artistic touches are obvious throughout. Natural light floods the interior with large windows and a sunroof.
The cabin has a full kitchen (sink, stove, oven, refrigerator, and microwave) and a full camper bath (sink, toilet, and little shower). For the sleeping areas, there is a full loft above a bigger-than-a-king bed which is plenty of room for 2 adults and children. Mary loves all the windows and the large patio door for bird watching and the open feel. The decorative fireplace gives the place a nice and cozy feel.
The cabin is 6 minutes from I75, which puts it close to many activities and attractions such as Wild Adventures Theme Park, Valdosta State University, Grand Bay Wildlife Refuge, Moody Air Force Base, and a whole lot more! (See list below).
Remember you get the camping experience without carrying heavy equipment, setting up, or breaking down -it's all done for you! All the comforts of Glamorous Camping including Airconditioning, heat, full kitchen, outside grill, and more!
\*Note: We have a zero-tolerance for marijuana use on our property. Our children play in this yard. To date, medical marijuana use does NOT transfer from state to state and smoking is illegal in Georgia. We will not put our family or our business at risk.
Guest access
From the hosts: If you want zero contact check-ins we can do that. We will usually meet you and show you around. The main house has an art studio/game room on the back. If you are interested in art lessons, open studio time, or if you would like to play some competitive ping pong, let us know! We hope you love our place as much as we do!
\*\*We are currently offering our listing at a reduced rate because we are relatively new hosts and we have plans to add much more including an A-frame Treehouse sleeping option and a dome feature to enjoy. We would love to have guests who are willing to be a part of our growth process! Please tell us anything that would make your stay more enjoyable so that we can get your 100% rating!

Although the cabin is in the center of town in a residential neighborhood, it feels as though you really are camping in the woods. Recently while being interviewed for a local travel magazine, this site was referred to as "magical" because there seemed to be a distinct line you cross in the yard, in which everything gets quiet and secluded -like you are in the country. The host family lives in the main house, providing helpful safety and security, yet there is plenty of privacy. You will feel like you are in your own private woodsy world with a babbling brook, a rustic barn, and a circular camellia garden.
