Laughing Water – A Romantic Moroccan-Inspired Yurt

Tucked deep in the woods, Laughing Water is a private escape for two—where the gentle sound of a brook wrapping around the yurt and the stillness of the mountains create a setting made for slowing down. Located near a charming community trail with bridges and benches, it’s easy to wander and take in the peaceful surroundings.

Inspired by the warmth and allure of Morocco, this hard-wall yurt is layered with rich textures, intricate details, and soft lighting—creating a space that feels both exotic and deeply relaxing.

The journey in sets the tone. A wooded pathway with approximately 38 steps leads you to your secluded retreat—adding just enough adventure to make arrival feel like discovery.

Inside, the space is cozy, intimate, and thoughtfully designed. A plush king bed invites restful mornings, while a bright kitchen with crisp white cabinetry keeps the space feeling fresh and open. The custom oversized Moroccan-tiled walk-in shower with a rainfall head adds a luxurious, spa-like touch that feels both indulgent and one-of-a-kind.

Outside, the experience unfolds naturally. Sip coffee as the forest wakes up, unwind by the fire pit under a sky full of stars, or simply listen to the soothing rhythm of the brook as it winds around you. Surrounded by mountain beauty, it’s a place to reconnect—whether over quiet conversation or shared stillness.

Perfectly positioned for hiking, exploring, or doing absolutely nothing at all, Laughing Water offers a balance of adventure and retreat—nature all around you, with comfort woven into every moment.

After 34 years managing single-family homes, I shifted to focusing entirely on vacation rental properties. I’m always excited to find the next property to bring to life. Hiking is one of my passions—I enjoy discovering new trails, whether on my own or with friends. There's something deeply refreshing about being surrounded by nature, whether it's by a peaceful stream or along a forested path.

Why they chose this property

I love how close it is to the entrance of the Deep Creek entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It's a peaceful hidden gem, full of hardwood trees, a gentle stream, and wildlife like turkeys and deer. The nights are pure magic, with star-filled skies overhead. Cozy up by the fire pit and enjoy the starry sky, perfect for an intimate evening. The night sky shines brilliantly, offering a stunning backdrop as you warm up by the fire. Afterward, retreat to your luxurious Moroccan yurt or take in the soothing sounds of the nearby brook, making every moment of this getaway truly magical.
