Glamping Haven

As a collective with multiple skills and services to offer, we aim to bring unique opportunities to residents and guests of Swain County, North Carolina.

Animal Care Services

Our team of experienced animal care providers are flexible and affordable. Whether you are going on vacation and need someone to stay overnight or visiting town and need a caretaker for the day, we hope to accomodate your animal's needs.

Events & Workshops

Friends with the Forest love to have fun celebrating life and nature. We plan to host regular events for the community to enjoy campfires, movie nights, music, games, workshops, and more. Stay updated for things to do!

Foraging Tours

We hope to be set up by 2024 for foraging tours, so you can learn how to be self-sufficient in finding food in the wild!

Listening Services

We all need someone to talk to, especially when our thoughts become overwhelming to sort through on our own. It can be challenging to find people who will listen in a world full of distractions. Our professional listeners are skilled in active listening to help you discover the answers you are searching for within yourself.

Guided Hikes

We hope to be set up by 2024 for offering guided hikes and overnight backpacking experiences for beginner to advanced outdoor enthusiasts.

Animal Education Programs

Muffin and Tokey are two rescued Goffin cockatoos who are part of our team. They love to travel to schools, birthday parties, and other venues to interact with people who love to learn about animals and nature!
