Cozy Mountain Yurt Retreat – in the Heart of Marshall, NC
Escape to our peaceful semi-off-grid yurt nestled in the trees just five minutes from downtown Marshall, NC. This unique mountain hideaway offers a cozy and comfortable stay with the perfect blend of nature and convenience.
Inside, the yurt sleeps up to 4 guests comfortably with a bunk bed featuring an XL twin on top, a full bed on the bottom, and an XL twin trundle underneath—plus a queen-size futon for extra sleeping space.
You’ll find all the essentials in the semi-off-grid setup, including electricity, a mini-split for both heating and air conditioning, and a bathroom with a electric pump sink and composting toilet. A tank-fill dishwasher adds ease for dishwashing needs.
The kitchenette is equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and toaster—perfect for breakfast and light meals before heading out to explore the area. Step outside to enjoy the peaceful, tree-lined views and your own private slice of mountain serenity.
You’ll be perfectly situated just 25 minutes from the natural beauty, springs and Appalachian Trail access in Hot Springs, NC, 25 minutes from vibrant downtown Asheville, and a short 5-minute drive to charming Marshall with small town appeal and its own restaurants, coffee, brewery, bar and shops situated right on the French Broad. Minutes from horseback riding, whitewater rafting and great hiking.
Whether you’re here for a quiet retreat, a base for adventure, or a mix of both—our yurt offers a unique experience in the Jewel of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, a desk, and a dining table.
