Hidden Falls Yurt

Hidden Falls is the perfect romantic mountain get a way. This unique yurt is only a 5 minute drive to Bryson City, but is the perfect level of seclusion and privacy. The interior is spotless, gorgeous and the porch is perfect for a cup of morning coffee while listening to the babbling brook below. After a long day of hiking, the hot tub was a much needed break. The Smokey Mountain National Park, with breathtaking views, is only a few minutes away. Also, check out the Elk with just a short drive to Cherokee. We can’t wait to come back!

Best mountain getaway outside of Bryson City!

It was our first time staying in a yurt, so we didn’t know what to expect. We were amazed at how easy it was to get there. Plenty of room inside the yurt, and filled with everything you need to relax and enjoy the smoky mountains. We will definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Kendra Jackson

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Jeanetta, your host at Elk Hollow.

After 34 years in the rental industry, and with my husband Mike behind me the whole way, I built the retreat I'd always wanted to stay in. Elk Hollow sits a mile from the Deep Creek entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, on quiet ground with a stream running through it, hardwoods overhead, and wild turkeys and deer that turn up like they own the place. They kind of do.

What I care about is that you arrive and exhale. That you feel relaxed, safe, and at home, with more to do nearby than you'll have time for.

I'm happiest outdoors. I have two children, six grandchildren, and friends I've kept my whole life, and most of my favorite memories were made in these mountains. I hope you make some here too.

Come see us.

Why they chose this property

Hidden Falls is the yurt, and it's built for two.

A 16-sided hard-wall yurt with insulated walls, polished concrete floors, and a king Aspen log bed set off to the side for privacy. Round, warm, and quiet, unlike anything you've stayed in.

It's also the easy one. No 4WD, no gravel climb, no steps up to the deck. Guests from flatter parts of the country tell us how stress-free the drive in was, which isn't something you can say about a lot of mountain rentals.

Soak in the freestanding tub, grill dinner on the wraparound deck, and end the night in the hot tub with the woods around you. Anniversaries, honeymoons, or a quiet reset for two.
