Vacation Rental Details
Isolated 16-foot diameter yurt on the northern slope of the eastern continental divide in a 25+ year-old white pine forest. No Wi-Fi or Internet but limited phone service (i.e. texting). Glamping convenience includes spring water (via sink faucet) from 5 gallon crew container, marine composting toilet, refrigeration and freezer combination, propane stove top and oven, queen bunkbeds, fully furnished kitchen, screen windows, a ceiling fan, and bedding for seasoned comfort. Additionally, pre-cut wood is available for the soap stone stove. Outside, you’ll find a wrap-around, cantilever deck with couches, chairs, and two tables with a surrounding garden, adjoining picnic area, grill, and fire ring. Enjoy the ambient sounds of the creek below, the breeze through the forest, and an occasional drone of an airplane. Abundant local flora and fauna include fern pathways and antiphonal owls and coyotes. In addition to the 12 minute commute to Rocky Knob State Park, vistas include Buffalo Mountain (12 minutes north) and Pilot Mountain to the south. The yurt is owned by Jim Best and located on his private property.
