Stayed July 2023 for four nights just to getaway with the wife.
THE GOOD
The place is extremely nice and the amenities are great. It was very comfortable and very clean. It is quiet and somewhat secluded.
The host communicated promptly and clearly.
The property is less than two miles from Deep Creek and the Deep Creek Park for tubing, fishing, etc. (very beautiful area) and just a few minutes from downtown Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountain Train.
Before arriving I was worried about the drive up the mountain to the yurt. It looks a bit daunting, but I made it just fine with my two-wheel drive Tundra.
THE NOT SO GOOD
The yurt is nestled in the trees on the side of the mountain. When the foliage is in full bloom there is not a view of the surrounding mountains. We could barely see the mountains in the distant through some of the trees. It was somewhat disappointing because I was expecting a descent view based on the description provided. .
We had no internet or tv service when we arrived, and we were not told we would have no service. The DirectTV guy showed up one morning to install the dish for the tv. We never got internet service. The Verizon cell reception was spotty at best.
Overall, we greatly enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend it and would stay there again.
