About this house rental

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!!

My wife and I absolutely loved this yurt! We intended to spend a few days in the Brevard/Pisgah area and saw this available for a long weekend. It looked nice enough so we booked, and when we arrived it honestly exceeded our expectations. Very cozy, comfortable, clean, and the kitchen/bathroom was very well done. Loved the cedar interior and the deck firepit was great on the colder nights.We would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a cozy stay in the woods, peaceful and serene, but still be just a 10-15 minute drive from restaurants, breweries, community, and Pisgah National Forest. Thanks Kristin and Dana!

Kristine and Dana (and the hands and energy of many unseen faces) have worked hard to guide human existence toward the path of the Great Mystery. The Yurt was a wonderful experience. You walk in, you notice the attention to detail, combining comfort, luxury, and a feeling of nature indoors. It was kept extremely clean. The kitchen was nice with all the amenities. Our stay was in the middle of August during periods of heavy rain, but it never dampened our trip; the rain enhanced moments as the pitter-patter of the rain fell on the canvas roof as we fell asleep. We shared the deck with a screech owl one evening. I feel we were interrupting its early evening hunt, as I am sure it came to watch the ground below the bird feeder. The bed was very comfortable. FYI, if you prefer a lower profile pillow than what is on the bed, there are some thinner ones in the utility area. You'll also find a great selection of reading material and games to enjoy. The mini-split kept the interior cool and pleasant. The white walls and ceiling enhanced the natural light. The driveway is steep and in the description an AWD or 4X4 is recommended, but I have a 2-wheel rear wheel drive car and I had no trouble (YRMV). The Yurt is a great place to unplug and unwind. There is so much to see and explore in the area, and Kristine provided a great list of suggestions. The only disappointments were that it was cloudy or raining every night, and we were not able to see the starry sky, AND we had to leave!

We loved it! The yurt is awesome! My husband and boys had a great time. Kristin was wonderful. We asked for a tour of the farm and she gladly obliged. She came to show us around after she worked all day and she stayed and talked with us and the boys for quite a while. She is a lovely host and went out of her way to make sure we had a good time. The property is very secluded and quiet which was wonderful!
