Description

★ A romantic yurt built for two, elevated in the trees.

Tumbling Brook is a sage-green hard-wall yurt at Elk Hollow, tucked into a wooded glen with the deck raised up among the trees. It’s cozy, quiet, and private, the loudest things birdsong and the wind, with deer and wild turkey passing through.

This is glamping, not camping. The walls are insulated, the comforts are real: a full kitchen, a spa-style bath, heat and AC, WiFi, and keyless entry. You’ll fall asleep to the woods, which is the point.

🛋️ INSIDE
➝ Open, round yurt layout with warm, rustic touches and hand-crafted wood furniture
➝ Sitting area and a Smart TV for a quiet night in
➝ Full kitchen, stocked for cooking in or keeping the coffee close
➝ WiFi, heat + AC year-round, in-unit washer + dryer

🛏️ WHERE YOU’LL SLEEP
➝ King bed dressed in soft linens
➝ Freestanding soaking tub
➝ Walk-in rainfall shower
★ Guests call it cozy, romantic, and spotless

🌲 OUTSIDE
➝ Elevated wraparound deck in the trees
➝ Private hot tub, open year-round
➝ Gas grill and outdoor seating
➝ Fire pit down below for s’mores under the stars
➝ String lights overhead after dark

♥ WHO IT’S FOR
Couples. Anniversaries, honeymoons, or a quiet reset for two. Quiet by design, so it’s a getaway, not a party house.

🚗 GETTING HERE
The drive in is easy, no 4WD needed, but the yurt itself sits up in an elevated, wooded setting reached by about 20 steps, with another set down to the fire pit. It’s not step-free, so pack light and skip this one if stairs are hard for you. Five minutes from downtown Bryson City, right by the Deep Creek entrance to the Smokies.

➳ GOOD TO KNOW
It’s a wooded, elevated yurt, so you’ll hear the birds and the wind and see more of the outdoors than you would in a cabin. It’s glamping with a full kitchen, spa bath, and heat and AC, not roughing it, but the steps up are real and worth picturing before you book.

Notes

🔒 Important Policies & Rate Notes

A $500 refundable security hold is placed 2 days before arrival and released 2 days after checkout. It lets us keep the property quiet and gives our housekeeping team the time to prepare your stay properly.

Access is the thing to plan for: the yurt sits up in an elevated setting reached by about 20 steps, with another set down to the fire pit. It's not step-free, so pack light and skip this one if stairs are hard for you.

No pets. No smoking or vaping indoors, since the smell settles into soft furnishings and doesn't come out.

Built for two adults. An infant under 24 months is welcome, but the yurt isn't childproofed and we don't provide a crib, so bring what your little one needs.

Access

🔑 The whole yurt is yours
The full unit, the deck, the hot tub, the fire pit, the grill. Nothing roped off, nothing on "amenity hours."

🔑 Self check-in
No lobby, no front desk. You check yourself in with the smart lock. We send detailed check-in instructions by text and email before you arrive. Walk up, punch in the code, you're in.

📞 A host who answers fast
Jeanetta responds within the hour and keeps a 100% response rate, and responsiveness is the thing guests mention most. If anything looks off when you arrive, message us and we'll sort it.

🧴 Stocked for you
Fresh linens, towels, bath basics, coffee, and a pantry of essentials. Guests routinely note how little they had to bring.

📷 Exterior cameras only
There are exterior security cameras on the property for safety. None face the hot tub, the deck seating, or anywhere inside the yurt. Your privacy on the deck and in the tub is the whole point.

Transit

🚗 Parking + the walk up
Free on-site parking. The drive in is easy in a normal car, no 4WD or AWD required. One thing to plan for: the yurt sits up in an elevated, wooded setting reached by about 20 steps, with another set down to the fire pit, so it's not step-free. The driveway is tight, so larger vehicles should use the upper driveway to turn around.

✈️ From the airports
➝ Asheville (AVL): about 1 hr 15 min
➝ Knoxville (TYS): about 1 hr 30 min
➝ Atlanta (ATL): about 3 hr

📵 Rideshare
Uber and Lyft are unreliable this deep in the mountains, especially after dark. Plan to drive yourself.

Our recent stay at elk hollow was fantastic

Ashley Marie Endy

Our recent stay at elk hollow was fantastic. Jeanetta was super helpful and always responsive. We had a small snafu when we first got to the property but Jeanetta was super responsive and helped us out, even late at night. The thoughtful touches inside were fantastic and wonderfully decorated. Highly recommend staying and we’re very excited to come back soon.

What a fun getaway

Chris G

What a fun getaway! Beautiful and spacious place! We loved the trails, the hot tub and just relaxing on the patio listening to the creek. Also, very close to downtown where lots was happening. Fun all around! We booked very last minute so we had some last minute questions and our point of contact Jeanetta was amazing and easy to contact! We can’t wait to come back.
