Earth-Yurt Haven outside of Asheville: peaceful mountain vibes

The Earth-Yurt Bee Haven is a unique one-of-a-kind yurt renovation featuring handcrafted earthen walls and an open, cozy design. Set in a quiet, peaceful spot in Old Fort in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the yurt has a gorgeous view overlooking a creek below and a small bee sanctuary - adding to the sense of connection with nature.

The Space
Ideal for solo travelers or couples looking to slow down and enjoy a tranquil retreat. Inside, you’ll find a queen bed in the loft, a futon sofa on the main level, a full kitchen, and a full bathroom with a tub/shower. Modern comforts include Wi-Fi, electricity, well water and septic, a mini split Heater/AC, washer, and a comfortable year-round setup.
Outside, enjoy a coffee or glass of wine on the deck, a hammock by the creek, and a fire pit for relaxed evenings.
There are two foldable beach chairs and two inner tubes available for creekside play.
There is a bee apiary on the property, so you can enjoy watching these amazing pollinators. We are providing a haven for them here.
There is one designated parking spot.

The Area
I highly recommend checking out the quaint town of Old Fort. Hillman Beer, Modern Alchemist, Seeker Coffee, Old Fort Yoga, Foothills Watershed, Arrowhead Gallery and Studios, Catawba Falls for an amazing hike to the falls, Point Lookout Trail for hiking and biking, Linville Caverns... just to name a few of the highlights of this area.
Asheville is about 30 minutes away and Black Mountain just 15 minutes. And check out the Blue Ridge Parkway for stunning views year-round.

*Note: You will sometimes see various bugs inside because the yurt is in nature, and while I spray a natural repellent, I don't spray chemicals/poison. If you're not ok sharing space with an occasional spider or ant, please consider this before booking
