About this cabin rental
The Earth-Yurt Bee Haven is a unique one-of-a-kind yurt renovation featuring handcrafted earthen walls and an open, cozy design. Set in a quiet, peaceful spot in Old Fort in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the yurt has a gorgeous view overlooking a creek below and a small bee sanctuary - adding to the sense of connection with nature.
The Space
Ideal for solo travelers or couples looking to slow down and enjoy a tranquil retreat. Inside, you’ll find a queen bed in the loft, a futon sofa on the main level, a full kitchen, and a full bathroom with a tub/shower. Modern comforts include Wi-Fi, electricity, well water and septic, a mini split Heater/AC, washer, and a comfortable year-round setup.
Outside, enjoy a coffee or glass of wine on the deck, a hammock by the creek, and a fire pit for relaxed evenings.
There are two foldable beach chairs and two inner tubes available for creekside play.
There is a bee apiary on the property, so you can enjoy watching these amazing pollinators. We are providing a haven for them here.
There is one designated parking spot.
The Area
I highly recommend checking out the quaint town of Old Fort. Hillman Beer, Modern Alchemist, Seeker Coffee, Old Fort Yoga, Foothills Watershed, Arrowhead Gallery and Studios, Catawba Falls for an amazing hike to the falls, Point Lookout Trail for hiking and biking, Linville Caverns... just to name a few of the highlights of this area.
Asheville is about 30 minutes away and Black Mountain just 15 minutes. And check out the Blue Ridge Parkway for stunning views year-round.
*Note: You will sometimes see various bugs inside because the yurt is in nature, and while I spray a natural repellent, I don't spray chemicals/poison. If you're not ok sharing space with an occasional spider or ant, please consider this before booking

What an amazing stay this was! This was our first yurt experience and I can’t wait to come back! It was perfect for my husband and I anniversary. It was very private and backs up to a stream! It was beautiful and quiet. I really enjoyed my daily visits with the bees. I have fallen in love with bees and to be able to sit and watch them work, so cool! Addionally, the sound of the hives is so peaceful. This place was amazing and might become a regular visit for us. We love to fly fish and there are so many places just a short drive from the yurt. We explored several of the local towns of Old Fort, Marion, and the love of my life, Black Mountain. As a Colorado native, Black Mountain reminds me of home. The Trailhead Restaurant is a MUST. Highly recommend the Skinny Dip Falls; best fish tacos I have ever had. This is a regular stop for my husband and I whenever we are passing through. The One Fly Outfitters is a great fly fishing shop. So helpful. Overall, this is a MUST stay if you are in the area. In addition, Asheville is only like 40-50 mins. away. So this place is quiet, private, clean and cute, and a short distance to a lot of cool places and things to do!! Can’t wait to visit again. Thank you for having us. - Toni & Tony

The Yurt is a perfect get away for a couple or small group. It was a quiet place close to nature with everything you need if you are looking for a place in the Old Fort area. Communication with the host was excellent, before and during our trip. We really enjoyed our stay. It was the base for a trail race I was running out of Camp Grier. It was only 15 minutes from the start finish line making it easy for me to get to/from the race and for my crew to hang out when they were waiting in between crew access aid stations.Thank you for providing this home away from home.
