VISITING WUNDERLAND

What To Expect...

We understand that for many of you, this will be your first stay at an outdoor resort and may be your first glamping experience. Our friendly staff is here to make sure your trip is as adventurous or relaxing as you like, with some added surprises.


To help you plan, we’ve compiled a few of our most frequently asked questions below. If don’t find what you are looking for, please feel free to contact us.

  • How do I make a reservation?

    You can book directly on our website under ‘book your stay.’ If you need support, call at 828-419-4632 or email us at concierge@wunderlandresort.com, we are happy to assist!


  • Is Wunderland dog friendly?

    Dogs are allowed at a fee in specific accommodations only (Yogi Forest Villa, RV/van life spots & tent camping). Before bringing your furry friend, please make sure to review our dog policy. 

  • What is your pet policy?

    Dogs are allowed in certain accommodations only with a pet fee. Dog owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets and ensuring they do not disturb other guests. Pet waste bags are available in dog friendly villas.  No other pets are permitted on site.


    All pets must be kept on a leash in common areas or outside of their accommodation.

  • Do you have WiFi?

    WiFi connect is now available at the Nest, our outdoor kitchen and workspace.  We will be adding resort wide WiFi in the future.  Cell service is decent in most areas of the resort.  We do hope you unplug and replug into nature and people during your stay. :)

  • Can I bring my own food and grill?

    Absolutely! For cabin guests, food must be stored inside. For Pod/RV/camping guests, food is required to be stored in the bathhouse kitchen or in your car due to bears.

  • Is there food onsite?

    We do not sell food onsite. There are a couple local restaurants downtown and a Piggly Wiggly about a mile away.

  • Do you sell alcohol onsite?

    Alcohol is not sold onsite, but we are BYOB. McDowell County is a dry county, so we encourage you pick up your adult beverages prior to arriving.

  • What age do you need to be to make a reservation?

    Guests must be 18 years of age to make a reservation.

  • What do I need to bring?

    Each pod & villa includes your linens & towels. Glamping pods do not have kitchen areas nor bathrooms. All guests have access to the shared bathhouse & kitchen area. Bathhouse bathrooms provide toiletries & shower products. For those indulging in wellness experiences, consider bringing a swimsuit for the sauna and cold plunge.

  • Are there bears?

    Although we have not seen them onsite, we have found evidence of bears passing through. Bears are extremely common in Western NC, so it is important you follow the food policy to reduce the probability of unsafe bear encounters.

  • What is there to do in the area?

    So much! From scenic drives on the Blue Ridge Parkway to hiking, waterfalls, and mountain biking in Pisgah and DuPont forests, adventure is all around us. Explore charming downtown towns like Asheville (great food & breweries), Hendersonville (apple orchards), and Bryson City (Scenic Railroad). In every season, there’s something special—fall colors, winter skiing, spring wildflowers, and summer tubing. 


    Within Old Fort, check out Catawba Falls (one of the most stunning waterfalls in the US) & Point Lookout Trail for a ride or hike a paved 3.6‑mile greenway with ridge views. Go Mountain Biking in the epic Gateway Trail systems or enjoy some fishing in Curtis Creek. Cap your adventures off with some local flavors at Hillman Beer & Whaley Farm Brewery.
