Magical Mountain Resorts, The Enchanted Forest - Hayesville, North Carolina

We stayed here for our girls getaway (adults and children). We booked the Alice’s Queen Cottage and Alice’s White Bunny Cottage to accommodate all of us. It was the “best weekend ever” according the little girls and big girls alike! Shannon was the best host you could ask for and every detail of our stay was truly magical! I highly recommend booking a stay. Very close to town (10 minute drive) but far enough away to enjoy nature and tranquility. We will be booking all our future getaways here!! I love the attention to detail that makes everything come to life! My favorite activities were coffee by the stream every morning, relaxing in the hammock every evening, exploring the grounds (adventures), being around the 4 legged residents at the fairytale farm and our own tea party.

This place is truly magical. The on site creek allowed for hours of playtime for our kids. We got to tour many of the cabins and the creative details blew us away. The owner and staff keep everything tidy, including the animal pasture. The animals are so well cared for I wish they’d adopt me. We loved our time interacting with the animals, who are very well socialized. We will definitely visit again. Our kids cannot stop talking about this place. That says a lot because we have been to dozens of campgrounds.

My daughter and I went for my birthday and had the most magical stay! Snow White’s cottage was perfect for us with its charming pink kitchen and tub shower. Shannon, the owner, took us around to see all the other cabins and we couldn’t believe all the magical touches. It’s such a unique experience! We had planned to go hiking and horseback riding at the places she recommended, but we were having so much fun that we didn’t want to leave the resort! My daughter played in the creek for hours, and we both fell in love with all the animals. My daughter had so much fun feeding the Patagonian maras, and Willy the donkey was my favorite. As wonderful as this place is during the day, it’s truly magical at night with all the colorful fairy lights. We’ll always treasure our memories of making s’mores at the fairy-themed campfire. My only regret is only booking for one night- we weren’t ready to leave!

Shannon is the best hostess, and she made sure our visit was amazing. I can’t say enough about her hospitality and the magic of this place. We’re already planning our next trip back!

This trip was perfection. Shannon was very hospitable. She allowed me to nerd out and view the other empty cabins. She allowed me to feed the animals, and she even gave me a Harry Potter treat since she knew I was there to celebrate my love for the Wizarding World. The whole campground was nice, clean, quiet, and friendly. Lots of hammocks, swings, and chairs to enjoy the sound of the rushing water in the creek. We plan to revisit in the future! Thanks again, ladies!

Loved this stay so much. Everything was perfect. Stayed at the caretakers cabin and was very impressed. Very clean and felt like I had been transported to Harry Potter ville. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. Loved the little petting zoo, swings on the creek and the whole fill of the property. Will definitely be back again and again.

Love visiting this resort. Our Great Granddaughter, age 7, didn't want to leave. So much fun for her. Our cottage was right in front of the creek, so we could set on the porch and hear the water rushing by. She loved the petting zoo, the swings, hammocks, yard games and especially going out at night seeing all the yard ornaments light up. The owner was so nice and showed us all the cottages and around the entire property. Hope to go back again soon.

My boyfriend and I went and stayed the night here then spent the entire next day just exploring. Shannon and her staff are so incredibly friendly and helpful. This beautiful place has so much love, heart and soul poured into it. You can see at every turn how much Shannon has poured into making this place magical. We had an amazing time viewing the cabins, laying in the hammocks by the water, spending time with the animals and just taking in the peace and quiet. Thank you so much for all you do Shannon we look forward to coming back and seeing what you will do next!!

We just got back from this magical place after 3 nights and already looking at when we can come back in the fall. We stayed in The Alice and Wonderland White Bunny cottage and it was perfect. Shannon, the owner, kindly toured us around the property on her golf cart (the kids loved that!) so we could see the inside of the other cabins and the Harry Potter bus and the attention to detail that goes into each theme is truly amazing. Shannon goes above and beyond to create magical experiences for her guests. A special thank you for the fairy magic and necklaces - the girls were in awe 🧚

We played in the creek, played with and fed the animals (Willy holds a special place in our hearts), made jewelry, painted rocks on the porch during a thunderstorm, did sand art, made s’mores in one of the magical firepits and brought home lots of memories. Be sure to stay up late enough to see the fairy village come to life with all the lights 😍

Truly a unique experience and I’m thankful it’s only a couple of hours away so I can go back again and again!
