Amid the forest in the Land of the Waterfalls. Unique stay in Yurt on homestead
Are you looking for a one of a kind experience where you are immersed in nature on a developing homestead? You can get farm fresh eggs, harvest produce & herbs from the garden and potentially forage wild mushrooms! Come stay in our yurt on Healing Acres. We are nestled in the beautiful mountains of NC.
Wake up to the sounds of birds singing and the natural light coming thru the large windows. You will feel like you are in a treehouse! Brevard is a haven for outdoor enthusiast.
The yurt is situated on a private 38 acre forested homestead . Our property is located in Transylvania County, the Land of the Waterfalls!! There are over 250 waterfalls in the forest that surrounds us. Many of which are within a 15-30 drive.
Plan a day of hiking to waterfalls, floating down the French Broad River, mountain biking in the Pisgah National Forest, drive the Blue Ridge Parkway or trout fishing in one of the best rivers in WNC (just one mile down the road).
Or choose to spend the morning drinking local coffee on the front deck, cook a delicious breakfast with farm fresh eggs and produce from the garden, read a book in the hammock by the creek and schedule a massage with the onsite massage therapist.
The yurt has a warm and inviting atmosphere. With an open living space, fully equipped kitchen, high domed ceiling and full bathroom you will have all the amenities of a traditional house. The large deck has outdoor seating and a gas fire pit which is perfect for the cool summer nights!
We have a large garden and barn at the top of the mountain and small shallow creek with many trails to explore. We currently have 3 dogs, chickens and rabbits.
**Extra guests are allowed to tent camp on the property!! When booking ask us about this option**
**Our gravel driveway to the yurt is steep. All wheel drive or 4 wheel drive is required to drive up to the yurt!!** If you don't have that type of vehicle there is parking and a trail thru the woods that leads up to the yurt. This trail thru the woods approximately 75 yards.
You are free explore and hike the trails around our property. We have a large garden where we spend most of our off time growing fruits, vegetables, medicinal herbs and flowers. We would love to give you a tour and you are welcome to harvest produce that is ready. We also have laying hens so fresh eggs are always available!
A shallow creek runs down the middle of the property. Feel free to bring a hammock down by the water and enjoy the sounds of the creek while surrounded by the beauty of the woods. Hammock provided upon request.
The owners reside in a separate dwelling on the land and are available to address any questions or onsite needs.
We spend most of our time off tending to the garden or working on projects. We would love to give you a tour and share our knowledge!
We have a massage therapist onsite!! When booking please notify the host to schedule an appointment. Outdoor massages available upon request(weather permitting).
The yurt is not handicap accessible. We live on a mountain and there is not much flat land. There are 15 steps leading up to the front door.
**As much as we LOVE animals we are not accepting pets at this time (with the exception of service animals). We have 2 med/large dogs on the property that are very friendly with humans and other animals BUT we have no fenced areas to keep your dog from running wild and free with them**
Please message us with any questions you may have prior to booking!!

Summer getaway
We loved it! The yurt is awesome! My husband and boys had a great time. Kristin was wonderful. We asked for a tour of the farm and she gladly obliged. She came to show us around after she worked all day and she stayed and talked with us and the boys for quite a while. She is a lovely host and went out of her way to make sure we had a good time. The property is very secluded and quiet which was wonderful!

Healing, quiet, clean, and easy
The stay at the yurt was amazing. The property is in a beautiful forest, enjoy the birds at the feeder, sit by the fire at night while you listen to the crickets, the seating outside is awesome for star gazing and spotting a few shooting stars and watching lightening bugs. The Yurt was so clean and retreat like. The aroma therapy, fresh wild flowers, fresh eggs from their homestead, and little details throughout the space was perfect. The host was an excellent communicator - prompt, responsive, and helpful. My daughter is 12 months and enjoyed seeing the bunnies and a visit from their dog! She loved the birds! I put her playpen in the walk-in closet so she would have a dark place to sleep, it worked perfectly. The bed was so comfy. Def need AWD or 4WD to get up the steep gravel driveway. The drive into Brevard is easy and close (10-15 mins). I can't wait to go back! I don't have a negative thing to say. Thank you so much for welcoming me and my sweet girl to your beautiful place. I am so thankful to have those memories with her.
The hosts were very informative and communicative. When we arrived, they had left farm fresh eggs and fresh cut flowers along with all the info we needed for our stay. The yurt had anything we may have needed, from linens and some games and puzzles to bandages and soap. The property was VERY clean and well stocked. We really enjoyed all of the personal touches throughout the property. Everywhere we looked there was another little surprise! We were able to explore the grounds and garden, the hosts even offered to show us around the farm. Overall, my family gave this stay a 10/10!
The driveway is steep. And this is mentioned in the listing several times. Our AWD had no issues at all.
