I stayed at the yurt for a month, on a travel assignment for night shift at the local hospital. The yurt it had everything I needed and more for a extended stay. It was so great to have a kitchen right next to where I was sleeping, the shower and bathroom were perfect, and the yurt itself was so private and cozy, even though its in a small compound of homes. It is right next to the highway, 10 minutes outside of Asheville which was perfect for me, but also nestled in the woods and forestry. It was surprisingly quiet during the day, and I was able to sleep as a nightshift nurse. It was easy for me to park my car right outside, and on my days off when I would do my laundry, you can hang out with the chickens and the goats.
Valerie and Julianne were wonderful hosts. They gave me my privacy but checked in with me regularly to make sure everything was going well, and were easily accessible if I needed them. I could not have asked for better hosts. The neighbors were also very friendly and kind.
The only non-glowing review I could comment on is that, being in the woods, it is likely that you will see a couple of spiders in and out of the yurt (as to be expected when you are living in the woods), but it’s nothing a few natural remedies couldn’t help.
So if you’re looking for a sign that you should come to Asheville and stay in a yurt, this is it. Healthcare professional or not, I promise staying here will be an incredible and unforgettable experience.
