About this property
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!!
