Wonderful little Yurt. Very close to downtown and close to nature. The dirt road up the hill is a little precarious so make sure you have a solid vehicle if it's muddy or icy. The amenities within the yurt are all very cozy and the hot tub was very peaceful. Lots of lizards and birds all around the property. Highly recommend for a couple's getaway!
Overall it was incredible, the bed to me was not comfortable and the outside lighting was almost nonexistent but other then that it was a great stay and we even saw a bear!
Quaint, cozy & well equipped. We had a great combination of old world simplicity, mixed with the convenience of modern technology. It was a great experience & I'd definitely stay their again!
The yurt was absolutely perfect. The only thing that we didnât like was that on the photos it looks like there is a mountain view, but there are trees blocking it. Other than that, it was perfect and I would definitely come back!
Overall the location was great. Very quiet area set back from the city and traffic. Close enough to get anywhere you need in Asheville, far enough to get away from it all. We saw a momma bear and two cubs on the road in. The only thing I wish would have been nicer is a clear view from the porch. It was overgrown and didnât offer much there. Iâm sure in the fall it would be better. Overall nice stay. Thank you

Cons
The hot tub filter had large goo particles coming off of it. The amount of chemicals coming from the hot tub was so strong it burned my eyes and choked me. We get a place usually twice a year with a hot tub. Iâve never experienced this.
The bed leaned to one side. It wasnât comfortable.
We werenât unable to stay connected to Wi-Fi. The network only appeared on our phone for about 15 seconds and would not reappear.
It was a nice place. Saw some bears under the deck. Wished it had a queen bed as advertised but only a full. The heater kept it pretty warm overall it was a nice stay. Adding some different size knives and an extra skillet would be a help.
Very nice place to stay. There is not a mountain view, though, it is a forest view since the trees have grown up and block the mountain view. Definitely enjoyed our stay.
I loved pretty much everything about this yurt! I was visiting Asheville for the first time and it was close enough for me to explore downtown and the art district while letting me go on a fun downhill excursion everytime I left the cabin đ the dome was amazing. My only dislike is the angle of the shower head but due to the size and position of the doors, it's nothing to be upset about, just had to bob and weave some. The kitchen had pretty much anything you could need and there were extra towels and wash clothes. Extra pillows and blankets if needed as well. The wifi wasn't consistent but again, nothing to be upset about, I needed to unwind anyway. I'll definitely be renting again to see the mountain views once the leaves are out of the way.
We throughly enjoyed our stay in the serenity. Rained a good portion of our trip but was really well accommodating. Hot tub was great. My husband and I was staying for our 20th wedding anniversary.
We were wanting a wilderness experience while still having modern conveniences and we got that. Perfect little place to experience the NC mountains while still being close enough to Asheville to get that experience too. Additionally, there was a bear close so we saw it a few times.
Everything was exactly as described. Nothing fancy, but exactly what you need.
Host was quick to assist when we needed something.
My wife and I really enjoyed this secluded spot in the mountains. The views were amazing and the amenities in the yurt did not make you feel too far from civilization. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a getaway.
We had a blast! The yurt is awesome! Definitely recommend!! If youâre from the flat land (like me) the drive up and down may give you a little anxiety, but itâs definitely doable and worth it.
Perfect getaway for a weekend trip. It snowed and Simms was nice enough to offer transportation up and down the icy mountain into town for a small fee . He went above and beyond to ensure we got up and down safely. We enjoyed getting in the no tub each night and looking at the stars . We would definitely rent with Simms again and had a great first time yurt experience!
Very clean and most definitely serene, yet so close to Asheville attractions. Minutes to Biltmore. Overall very clean, except for a few cobwebs, and the vent hood could use a good cleaning. Had everything we needed. There was a severe thunderstorm our second night which was a little disconcerting (not to mention LOUD), but the yurt held up just fine and we felt safe. The directions were great, and we did make it up the gravel road in our front wheel drive. I suggest you have good tiresâŠ.ours are a little worn and we did do a little spinning going uphill on turns. Thereâs only room for one car at a time on the gravel road, but we were fortunate not to meet anyone on our trips up or down. We would not suggest arriving after dark if you can avoid it. Overall a great stay, and a one of a kind experience. The host, Simms, was kind, helpful, and communicated promptly when we had questions. We definitely would stay again.
Serenity Yurt was such an amazing experience. My wife and I were very pleasantly surprised to see how accommodating and big the yurt felt once we were settled in. We came to Asheville for a short vacation and the best part of the trip was coming home to the yurt every evening to take a dip in the hot tub under the most beautifully clear skies. I cannot recommend this place enough. If youâre looking to have an isolated, special, calm, wonderful vacation, you must book one of these Yurts
The serenity yurt was relaxing and secluded. Cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed the deck, hot tub, and taking the short hike near the property on the Mountains to Sea trail. Would stay again! Just remember to bring your own toilet paper because it doesnât come with more than whatever is left on the one roll.
