Want to Stay in an Ewok Village!?

Boy we really lucked out bringing News Channel 7’s  crew up to Bryson City, if you haven’t seen it yet, check out their Cool Jobs segment we posted  a couple days ago. Yesterday they aired their Home Hoppin’ segment. This series take you to up-scale homes (or in this weeks case, campsites) and gives an in-depth tour of the property. I like the end of the clip where Kimberly compares the Yurts to an Ewok Village!

We’ve got a “Cool Job”

Recently, one of our employees was watching the local news in Greenville, SC and saw a segment about cool jobs in the area. Thinking to himself “Hey, I’ve got a really cool job!”, he contacted them about our new Nantahala Gorge Canopy Tours. They thought it was a great idea and sent a camera crew out to interview several of our Canopy Rangers and film the action on the zip line. They had a great time up in the trees and can’t wait to come do it again! Here’s a link to Lee “Bob” and Jamarcus from News Channel 7 covering our “Cool Job” just outside Bryson City, NC!
