Swallowtail

🦋 Swallowtail Safari Tent – A Whimsical Escape for Connection, Laughter & Love

Let the flutter of the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail lead you to a place where time slows, laughter flows, and every moment feels touched by a bit of magic. Nestled beneath a canopy of hardwoods, this vibrant safari tent is designed for two couples or a relaxed double-date escape—perfect for reconnecting, celebrating, or simply soaking in the quiet beauty of the mountains.

Wake to birdsong and golden light filtering through the trees, with sunny yellows, warm oranges, and lush greens reflecting the joyful energy of the space. Mornings invite coffee and quiet conversation in the private back sitting nook, while evenings are made for hot tub toasts, stories around the fire, and stargazing under soft, glowing string lights.

Inside, two king suites offer comfort and privacy, each with spa-style touches—oversized tiled showers and a luxurious soaking tub for slow, restorative moments. The open-concept layout makes it easy to gather for meals or unwind, with a full kitchen, washer/dryer, Smart TVs, and Wi-Fi adding everyday ease.

Outside, the expansive deck is made for lingering—dining, lounging, and late-night conversations by the fire pit. A gentle ramp to the main deck makes Swallowtail one of the more accessible tents on the property.

For something truly special, Swallowtail is the only tent at Elk Hollow approved for small, intimate events (with prior payment and a separate signed agreement)—a unique setting for anniversaries, elopements, or meaningful celebrations.

Traveling with friends? Foxfire and Serengeti are just a short walk away—close enough to gather, yet private when you’re ready to retreat.
