Joerten in French Broad River

Gorgeous views, great location, the hot water was actually hot (unlike other Airbnb’s I’ve stayed in), the hot tub was ready to go, the host left us snacks. It was just such a wonderful experience. We will be coming back. If I had to pick ANY cons, I’d be really reaching. You are one of four yurts (we didn’t realize we would have “neighbors” but it’s set up in such a way that you still have privacy.). Also, you are close to the road so occasionally you will hear cars, but the sound of the river much overpowers that. Plan for no reception; we were fine with that. We plan to come back again with 2 more couples. I will definitely miss falling asleep to the sound of the river Now, what I wish I would have known as a car geek - we accidentally went through Tail of the Dragon on the way there. Had no idea it was here. Was sad to have a big ole SUV riding that instead of my sports car! Plan accordingly. :)

Absolutely loved our stay here and can't stop talking about it! The location worked great for us to enjoy a day in Knoxville and The Great Smoky Mountains. We also enjoyed a quiet and peaceful day! If bugs freak you out, this may not be your place. We didn't experience them in the yurt, but you do come across them with the bathroom and outdoor kitchen set up. However, if you can accept being one with bugs, you won't regret the beautiful shower set up! I am sure we will be staying here again in the future :)

We booked our wedding at Mountain Fiesta and had an amazing experience. Brenda and Mo were incredibly helpful before and during our wedding. We received countless remarks on the venue's stunning views and the donkey, Jack, was everyone's favorite guest. We highly recommend Mountain Fiesta for your wedding!

Communication was great and the folks at Seven Springs were wonderful to interact with. We appreciated a quiet refuge to escape to and their great local recommendations for hiking and beverages.

fantastic place. we lucked out and yurt #3. behind us was the sound of running creek water. Liz was great and her grounds were very accommodating. the yurt we were in had an outlet in it just incase you need to charge your devices. I'm assuming the rest of the places also have electricity. I would definitely stay there again and next time I plan on coming back Liz place will be one of the first I'm looking for. very peaceful place. neet back story for the property. 5 stars!!!

We loved the surrounding town, the peaceful area and yurts so much last year that we came back for a second time! The yurts are amazing and the area provides a relaxing atmosphere, as well as the sounds of the connecting rivers are so calming. We left something behind and the owners were gracious to send it!

Loved my stay with my dog here in Maggie Valley! The cabin is in close proximity of a bunch of cool local restaurants. Easy to find and Chasity even comped my pet fee. Would definitely recommend anyone making a trip to this area to stay here!

Enjoyable place to hangout with family. Beautiful view.

We really enjoyed our stay here and kept talking about how perfect the space was for two people. Everything was designed and decorated well. We really enjoyed the outdoor space, hot tub, and grill. It’s an easy 15-minute drive into Asheville. Also, I left my laptop when we checked out and they were super responsive, found it, and sent it back to me overnight. I’m very grateful for that effort. Definitely recommend booking this place.

Dana & Kristen’s place is an absolute gem. The yurt and surrounding farm are lovely. And they are the most amazing, thoughtful hosts. We can’t wait to visit again.

When I read the description on the website, I doubted that it was that great. It was that GREAT! It rained every day, but the place was so peaceful, we didn't care. We cooked on the grill and ate most of our meals on the deck. We look forward to another visit.

The house fully lived up to our expectations. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. The surroundings were lovely with lots of green and a small fireplace and only were short from the city. We will definitely recommend staying here and will book again if we come back to the area 😊

We enjoyed our stay in the Yurt. The bed was good, with plenty of blankets for a chilly night. You need to go outside the Yurt to get to the bathroom, but it is close, on the platform, and private.

This was my first time using Airbnb and Lucie has set the bar high and ensured I will be using this service again. She was friendly and responsive as well as provided excellent directions to the yurt. The yurt looked exactly like the pictures and had all amenities described. Additionally it was clean and welcoming. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Lucie and my experience in her home. I would recommend this space and can’t wait until I am able to come visit again. If you are looking for a peaceful, clean & comfortable place to stay this is it!

Very beautiful surroundings and neat little place to stay!

This place is truly spectacular. Stunning views and extremely peaceful. We only had time to stay for one night, but wish we could've stayed longer. This was our first time staying in a yurt and it exceeded our expectations. The place was exceptionally clean and cozy. Arson was an excellent host and was very responsive and provided clear instructions on how to get to the yurt. Would highly recommend this place to any of our friends or family!

A must experience Airbnb! The yurt was cozy and had all the comforts of home. Glamping at it's finest. Full bathroom, outdoor kitchen (grill, sink, tables) and AC! The property is so cute. A creek and garden and plenty of trees for your hammock. I loved it here and will definitely be back. Also really loved that staying here supports a nonprofit organization to help children with cancer. Lots of hiking near by and the Folk School is 3 minutes down the road, also close to all the lakes and rivers. If you are thinking of booking, do it!

The Yurts are as cozy and comfy as any Airbnb! For folks who have never camped before and want to try spending time in the nature without hassles of setting up your campsite, this is the best trade-off! it's located just 30mins from Great Smokies and 30mins from Gatlinburg! Loved the experience! Yurt is also sparkling clean, so are the surroundings and bathrooms! the stream and firepit are just icing on the top! loved it! will visit again!

this was our third year in a row staying at the Bluebird Yurt and we plan to return next year! Paola is always so kind, helpful and responsive and the space is just what we need for a fun and relaxing birthday celebration

The yurt was very peaceful and put together well. A little chilly, but that’s all part of the experience! There were crystals everywhere which was a cool touch- also the hammock was very comfortable it was an envoy. Maybe just add one more heater! It was still cozy and they had an electric blanket and one heater which was nice. The gas grill was great too.

I booked this trip without knowing I'd have emergency surgery days before. I wanted to keep the reservation and thought it would be the perfect get-away to heal and relax. My wife and I packed what we could with our two pups and from the moment of check-in until check-out was the most relaxing, calm, private space ever. The sounds of the rain hitting the yurt and the sounds of the river at night made the days seem unrushed. I've already talked with my Sister-in-law about bringing her kids to make it a family trip. I know my niece and nephew would love to meet see all the animals on the property. I will definitely book here in the spring/summer! I would advise as soon as you check in, to order the pizza that's available. The owners have a stone oven and home-made crust! It was soooo good! There was very limited Wifi, but we were not mad at it, at all!

We stayed here the night before heading out on the AT. Great location close to the NOC. We checked in late after dark. The place was amazing. Wonderful experience and so relaxing. We woke up the next morning to a beautiful view out the front door. We will be back.

Erin’s farm was simply delightful, and to have farm animals nearby, and cows on the actual farm property was an extra highlight. Cows were literally down the hill, so, you could hear them moo and watch their every movements. The scenery was lush and green, the back drop was the hills of eastern Tennessee .Could not have asked for a better day with the weather just right. The yurt was very clean and well stocked. The furnishings were very comfortable and felt like what a yurt would feel like. I have always wanted to go inside a Mongolian or nomadic like yurt. This was pretty cool! I had spent sometime to find my mother a cabin like property, and to say the least, this property did not disappoint, and offered great views just as or even better than being in the mountains inside a cabin. Thank you Erin, and to her generational farming family! For the hospitality, ability to be flexible, well kept land, and friendliness.
