Spicewood Yurt

Top rated by guests
Perched above a stone foundation and wrapped in a sweeping circular deck strung with lights, Spicewood Yurt is unlike anything you've ever stayed in — a one-of-a-kind retreat rising out of the Smoky Mountain forest.
A full-size washer and dryer mean you can pack light and stay longer — because why rush home when you're this comfortable?
The Barnwood master's ensuite features a beautifully tiled glass-enclosed shower with a built-in bench, pebble stone floor, black fixtures, granite vanity, and warm pine walls — everything you need to refresh after a day of adventure.

About this cabin rental

★ Two king suites, one circular yurt.



Spicewood is a round hard-wall yurt at Elk Hollow, tucked between two quiet subdivisions and a horse pasture. The loudest thing here is birdsong, with the odd deer or wild turkey out the window.



🛋️ INSIDE

➝ Open, light, airy circular layout

➝ Plush sofa + Smart TV for movie nights

➝ Full kitchen: teal cabinets, granite, stainless, stocked pantry

➝ Dining table for four at the window



🛏️ WHERE YOU'LL SLEEP

➝ Two private king en-suite bedrooms, each with its own bath

➝ Amish hand-crafted beds, Aspen log + heavy Barnwood

➝ Tiled walk-in rainfall shower with a bench in each bath

➝ Full-size washer + dryer in the unit

★ The beds are the single most-praised thing in our reviews



🌲 OUTSIDE

➝ Large wraparound deck with cushioned chairs

➝ Gas grill + picnic table

➝ String lights overhead after dark

➝ Fire pit for s'mores

➝ Private hot tub under the stars, open year-round



♥ WHO IT'S FOR

Two couples, or a family of four who want two real bedrooms instead of a shared space, with an infant or young child welcome as a fifth. Quiet by design, so it's a getaway, not a party house.



🚗 GETTING HERE

No 4WD and no white-knuckle climb, and the main deck and hot tub are step-free. The driveway is tight, so larger vehicles should use the upper drive to turn around. Five minutes from downtown Bryson City, right by the Deep Creek entrance to the Smokies.



➳ GOOD TO KNOW

Hidden Falls, our one-bedroom yurt, sits just behind Spicewood. Guests rarely notice it, but if you're traveling as a bigger group or two families, book both for two private units side by side.
