About this property

Secluded yurt on Blue Ridge Pay & MTS Trl with hot tub, only 15min from downtown

We would like to call it glamping but it is a bit too luxurious for that. It is however, a romantic getaway for two, where you feel you are in a remote location and close to nature while being close to all the Asheville area has to offer. We are 5-10 minutes from the grocery, some nice restaurants, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, 15-20 minutes from Biltmore and downtown and 20-25 minutes from the River Art District and funky West Asheville. The Mountains to Sea Trail will also be a 5 minute walk from your door. If you choose to stay in there is a hot tub, satellite TV and WiFi to keep you entertained or take in the solitude of the mountain sitting on the deck reading or enjoying a cup of coffee.

We loved staying in this cozy little yurt! It was the perfect spot to hideaway for our anniversary week and we’d highly recommend it! The gravel driveway may seem intimidating (I was worried) but it was perfectly fine and is easy to navigate. The owner was always prompt in his response times and was very kind. Would definitely come back!

Aweaome spot super cool Yurt

Peaceful ending

Beautiful location and experience in the Namaste yurt. We booked this stay to take advantage of the hot tub after 4 days of mountain biking PNF. It did not disappoint!A notable mention would be the gravel road to the yurt. An AWD vehicle would be ideal esp if the weather is bad.

Charming Weekend Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay! The location was very convenient to town with still feeling pretty secluded. I was also impressed with how cool the yurt stayed, even with it being so hot outside. It was well stocked and communication with the manager was very easy. The bed/pillows were not the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on and the WiFi was spotty at best but all in all it was a great stay.

We appreciate you taking the time to write a review. People have greatly varying preferences as to the type of pillow they prefer. If you are partial to a particular pillow I recommend bringing it with you or ask us for something more to your liking. We have plenty of options. Also if you are having issues with the internet, please let us know as usually it is a quick fix.

Secluded yurt

The yurt itself was wonderful but the gravel road leading to it was a lil intense for us. One lane, winding, and not lit up at night (I’m sure for the ambiance). Other than that it was fantastic.

Terrifying & lovely

Wonderful yurt!! My first time staying in one. Terrified the first night, wind was high & felt like we’d be blown off the mountain. Didn’t help that a huge tree was down on the yurt across the way reminding me what could happen.. but anyway. We didn’t die and it was lovely outside of that!

I appreciate Meghan’s replay. Please note, that the yurt she was staying in has a “wind kit” as part of its structure, making it very stable. The other yurt to which she is referring had a tree fall across its deck during Helene which was a 500 year event. The possibility that this type of thing had the potential to happen was known to us and our yurts were not occupied during this extremely rare event.

Not for us. There was air conditioning. During the early noon and afternoon it was so hot. The yurt across the road was being worked on. So we could hear a metal pipe hitting something for hours. Then the workers started cursing and threatening each orher. Not relaxing at all.

Comfy and Quiet

We stayed for 2 nights. It was a wonderful experience. We even discussed going again. The place was clean and quiet. There were cobwebs on the fan, but overall it was very nice. The quietness of the area was the best part. The TV stopped working at one point, but we were already getting ready to leave. Next time, we want to try the serenity yurt and see how the two compare. Check-in was easy and the drive was easy.

Thank you for taking the time to review our yurt ard I am glad you enjoyed your stay. You are welcome back anytime. The tv is working fine at this time so I am not sure what the issue was when you were there. Please note that we encourage guests to call us at anytime if they are having trouble with something like the tv and we will happy to help remedy the problem but it sounds like you were content with the peace and quiet.

Great yurt and location...but barking dog!

The property is charming. Perfectly clean and well thought-out (and I’m picky). However, the barking dog and lack of A timely WiFi service seriously detract from the overall quality if the stay. The Relentless barking dog was just awfully nerve racking ...hence lack of peaceful stay. Plus you have to go by the dog and it’s a car chaser

I appreciate Cindy’s review and apologize for Luna’s barking. She belongs to my son, who lives down the road and keeps an eye on things for everyone. She barks when there is a bear in the area. I took care of the issue as soon as Cindy let me know it was a problem for her. Also the WiFi has been completely updated since Cindy’s visit.

Unique and Charming Seclusion

Staying at this cozy yurt was a new and unique experience. The drive up to the yurt was a little intimidating the first time, but I didn't have any trouble after that. Very quick and simple ride to get to stores, restaurants, and the mall. The yurt itself was clean and stayed nice and warm during the cold nights. You could tell it was a little dated, but it had a charming character. Most essentials were provided for the kitchen and bathroom. The hot tub was very nice as well, clean and hot. And it was easy to find something to watch on TV, no issues there. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at Namaste.

Eh. Could have been better. Wasn't terrible

Basic yurt, had the necessities. The stay wasn't bad, but could have been better with a few things: 1. Air conditioning should have been turned on earlier, prior to our check in so it wasn't so hot upon arrival. The air did work and cool down but it just was an odd way.to start the stay. 2. Boards at the top of the yurt had very big cobwebs. I understand cleaning them is difficult, but it made the yurt feel dirty, when most of it wasn't. 3. Some dishes were dirty, we rewashed most things we were going to use.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Aug 2023
We always appreciate hearing back from our guests. We had the unusual occurrence of there being an unoccupied day before these guests arrived, and we had turned off the ac. I forgot to turn it back on. That one is on me. Cobwebs happen in a matter of hours in a yurt and sometimes we miss seeing them, so if they are a big issue to you then maybe a yurt is not for you. I apologize for the dirty dishes. My cleaner is supposed to make sure all dishes are clean but apparently she missed some and I will let her know. Finally I am not sure if “basic yurt “ is meant to be a deprecating remark but we consider it much more than basic as it has many amenities not found in other yurts.

Not what was expected

Utensil drawer was nasty, food had been left in the fridge. I would hire a new cleaning crew.The cabin up the hill was extremely loud 2 of the 3 nights we were there. We expected more privacy and a view but had neither. The shower wasn't clean and dish rack was nasty. The same soap was being used in the shower, bathroom and kitchen. Cobwebs everywhere and bed was extremely uncomfortable. We did not use the stove due to not working properly, microwave was disgusting. We personally would not stay here again.

We appreciate your feedback as it helps us make things better for future guests. My wife cleans the property and so she has a vested interest in it being in good condition for our guests. Sometimes she leaves things like condiments in the fridge for others to use as she hates to be wasteful. Most people appreciate it and I have never heard any complaints. She never leaves anything inappropriate like cooked food or leftovers. If it creates an issue for anyone please just throw it away and if I hear enough complaints I will tell her to stop doing it. Maybe I will run a survey as I do sometimes. Asheville is a very eco-consciousness community so we hate to waste things. People share condiments at restaurants all the time. I will speak to her about the utensil drawer, microwave and the dish rack. It might be time for a new one. There are other properties on our mountain and we ask that guests observe quiet time after 10pm. If anyone is making too much noise at anytime please let me know and I will take care of it. The is no mention of a mountain view in our listing but it is a nice wooded setting and you will feel secluded. I assure you the shower was clean. There might have been some hard water stains that we are constantly battling. There is dish soap at the kitchen sink, liquid soap at the bathroom sink and shower gel in the shower. The stove is currently working fine so I’m not sure what the problem was. Please give us a call if you have any questions on how things work. I pride myself in keeping everything in good working order. We remove all cobwebs when we see them when we clean. It is a cabin in the woods and they can pop up in a matter of hours after we clean them. Everyone has a different preference when it comes to mattress comfort so it is difficult to find one that suits everyone. I just had a guest at one of our other properties comment negatively on a mattress and the next guest say the same mattress was better than any 5 star hotel they have ever been in.

A quaint and relaxing stay

Overall, a great place to stay. Fairly close to the parkway and a short drive to the city for daily entertainment. Wifi was a little wonky, but we didn’t really need to use it so not a bummer for us, cable worked pretty good! Hot tub was clean and secluded. Water was nice and hot in the shower. It is right across the street from another yurt, so that wasn't expected, but it didn’t affect us.
