Yurt holiday rentals in French Broad River

Gorgeous views, great location, the hot water was actually hot (unlike other Airbnb’s I’ve stayed in), the hot tub was ready to go, the host left us snacks. It was just such a wonderful experience. We will be coming back. If I had to pick ANY cons, I’d be really reaching. You are one of four yurts (we didn’t realize we would have “neighbors” but it’s set up in such a way that you still have privacy.). Also, you are close to the road so occasionally you will hear cars, but the sound of the river much overpowers that. Plan for no reception; we were fine with that. We plan to come back again with 2 more couples. I will definitely miss falling asleep to the sound of the river Now, what I wish I would have known as a car geek - we accidentally went through Tail of the Dragon on the way there. Had no idea it was here. Was sad to have a big ole SUV riding that instead of my sports car! Plan accordingly. :)

Absolutely loved our stay here and can't stop talking about it! The location worked great for us to enjoy a day in Knoxville and The Great Smoky Mountains. We also enjoyed a quiet and peaceful day! If bugs freak you out, this may not be your place. We didn't experience them in the yurt, but you do come across them with the bathroom and outdoor kitchen set up. However, if you can accept being one with bugs, you won't regret the beautiful shower set up! I am sure we will be staying here again in the future :)

My husband and I got married here 5/10/25. Originally we planned to get married in October and had to reschedule due to the storm. It was an easy switch and the property is beautiful. There is a garden, the creek and bridge are lovely. The barn was a great space for my small wedding. We had an amazing time and so did my friends and family. Brenda and Mo are accommodating and friendly. I would recommend low key or small weddings here 👍 Jack Jack made us laugh alot. Thanks for sharing the space with us for our special day!

Communication was great and the folks at Seven Springs were wonderful to interact with. We appreciated a quiet refuge to escape to and their great local recommendations for hiking and beverages.

Probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on.

We loved the surrounding town, the peaceful area and yurts so much last year that we came back for a second time! The yurts are amazing and the area provides a relaxing atmosphere, as well as the sounds of the connecting rivers are so calming. We left something behind and the owners were gracious to send it!

Loved my stay with my dog here in Maggie Valley! The cabin is in close proximity of a bunch of cool local restaurants. Easy to find and Chasity even comped my pet fee. Would definitely recommend anyone making a trip to this area to stay here!

Thee heart center is a wonderfully located and incredibly accommodating stay, Liz was a wonderful host and despite our group's varying numbers was perfectly willing to work with us to make sure we all had a bed.

Evan was a great host. We visited on Valentine’s Day weekend and there was a bouquet of roses upon arrival. He was very quick to respond with any questions and ensure we had a great stay. It rained our entire stay but we still had a great time and enjoyed ourselves. This was a very unique experience and look forward to coming back with better weather.

This was the perfect tranquil location in the Appalachian Mountains. This eco yurt was so quiet and serene you really could soak in nature… plus we had some clear nights to stargaze which was beautiful. Plus we could bring the dogs along for the stay as it is pet friendly. With hiking near by, it was an ideal in nature retreat for us. Definitely will stay again!

Enjoyable place to hangout with family. Beautiful view.

We really enjoyed our stay here and kept talking about how perfect the space was for two people. Everything was designed and decorated well. We really enjoyed the outdoor space, hot tub, and grill. It’s an easy 15-minute drive into Asheville. Also, I left my laptop when we checked out and they were super responsive, found it, and sent it back to me overnight. I’m very grateful for that effort. Definitely recommend booking this place.

We loved our weekend! It was a great location to explore the area and the hosts were wonderful! We didn’t have to worry about anything. We felt safe and the space worked well for our family of 4 (2adults & 2 small children). Hosts provided great recommendations and they were super friendly when we met them. The property is wonderful to explore and close to local hikes and beautiful waterfalls! We hope to come back!

What a fun place to stay! We always look for unique listings, and this was a great one. Everything about it was perfect. Thanks Paola!

We go to Bryson City 1-2 times per year and this has by far been the best place we have stayed at yet! Very peaceful and private and well worth the money! We will be back soon! Five star rating in every aspect!

We enjoyed our stay in the Yurt. The bed was good, with plenty of blankets for a chilly night. You need to go outside the Yurt to get to the bathroom, but it is close, on the platform, and private.

Jeri was an incredibly kind and friendly host. She went above and beyond in making us feel welcome and at home. She even set up dog beds for our two dogs. She was responsive to all our questions and gave us privacy as well. She had everything prepared for a family getaway. She made sure to warn us about the abundance of ticks in the tall grass so we tried to keep our dogs in the cut grass area. In the future we will need to tick drop on our dogs prior to arrival. She provided sprays for humans and dogs as well. We loved the privacy of the yurt and the amenities provided (electricity, warm water, stove, board games, firepit). Will be back!

I’m a out-of-state photographer who came in for a wedding and I booked the yurt for two nights. It was so comfortable so beautiful and I can’t wait to come back and stay for longer. Thank you so much Carson for being a great host. You have a truly unique and wonderful space

Enjoyable , reception was great , the facility was well kept and the location provides exceptional access to the area.

We absolutely loved this little Yurt! It was perfect for our one night adventure. The place was super clean and cozy. Can’t wait to stay again one day! The bed is super comfortable along with an outstanding shower!

Erin’s farm was simply delightful, and to have farm animals nearby, and cows on the actual farm property was an extra highlight. Cows were literally down the hill, so, you could hear them moo and watch their every movements. The scenery was lush and green, the back drop was the hills of eastern Tennessee .Could not have asked for a better day with the weather just right. The yurt was very clean and well stocked. The furnishings were very comfortable and felt like what a yurt would feel like. I have always wanted to go inside a Mongolian or nomadic like yurt. This was pretty cool! I had spent sometime to find my mother a cabin like property, and to say the least, this property did not disappoint, and offered great views just as or even better than being in the mountains inside a cabin. Thank you Erin, and to her generational farming family! For the hospitality, ability to be flexible, well kept land, and friendliness.

A real gem. The property is beautiful. We were there during the cold winter and the wood heater and other heaters were very cozy. Close to hiking trails too

This was a great first yurt experience. Jennifer is a fabulous host and everything was clean, comfortable, and decorated well. The game room was a pleasant, comfortable, air conditioned bonus space. The surrounding nature is peaceful with plenty of opportunities for beautiful hikes to the river and surrounding hills. Good cell coverage and WiFi on the property but definitely make sure you do a good map recon before getting there because you’ll lose signal during the drive down Needmore Dr. The long, uphill gravel driveway doesn’t require 4WD but I’m glad i had an SUV.

Ronald was a great host. The yurt was absolutely amazing and the property was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. The nearby town of Mars Hill was super cute too. Close to some great hikes. Would definitely go back in the future.
