Gather around the stone fire pit as the yurt glows warmly above you, string lights twinkling on the deck and nothing but forest and fireflies all around.

Moonlight filtering through the trees, pathway lights guiding your way, and the quiet magic of a mountain night that you just can't find back home.

Glowing warm against the night sky, Hidden Falls Yurt is a beacon in the trees — the kind of sight that makes you exhale the moment you pull in.

Escape to this one-of-a-kind yurt with a stunning log bed, soaring wood-paneled ceiling, and warm rustic charm. Relax in the spacious open layout with a cozy seating area, perfect for a romantic getaway or nature retreat.

Soak away the day in your private hot tub while the sound of a nearby waterfall and babbling stream set the mood. With nothing but lush green mountains as your backdrop, the privacy here is absolute. It's the perfect ending to any mountain adventure.

Fire up the gas grill and dine al fresco on the covered deck, surrounded by nothing but lush green forest. String lights overhead, a picnic table beside you, and the trees swaying just beyond the railing, dinner doesn't get better than this.

Wake up looking at this stunning wood-paneled dome ceiling, with a central skylight that fills the yurt with natural light and birdsong every morning. There's no better alarm clock.

Wake up under a soaring wood-paneled dome ceiling with treetop views peeking through every window. The log king bed, mounted TV, and cozy sitting area mean you have everything you need, whether you're sleeping in or binge-watching from bed.

Nestled into the forest with a green metal roof and warm string lights glowing from the deck, Hidden Falls Yurt is your own private mountain retreat, and just steps from the Deep Creek entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

This handcrafted log king bed is the centerpiece of the yurt, rustic, solid, and surprisingly dreamy. Soft bedding, warm lamp light, and a cowhide rug underfoot make this the mountain escape your tired body has been asking for.

Jets bubbling, waterfall nearby, and the outdoor seating just steps away. This hot tub is calling your name the moment you arrive.

Warm pine ceilings, granite vanity with a bench, and a peek of lush greenery through the window. Rustic charm meets modern comfort at every turn.

Sink into the outdoor sectional under string lights, or slip into the hot tub just steps away, all with the stream trickling by and nothing but green mountain behind you.

A deep soaking tub nestled in warm knotty pine walls, because you deserve more than just a shower on vacation. Draw a bath, crack the window - let the forest sounds drift in.

The moment you step onto the covered deck, you know you've found something special. String lights frame the charming curved exterior of the yurt, welcoming you in with a festive glow. It's the kind of entrance that sets the tone for your whole stay

Gather around the fire pit as the mountain night closes in, stone benches, crackling flames, and a bag of marshmallows are all you need. The perfect end to a perfect day.

A handcrafted log king bed, a freestanding soaking tub, and warm wood details all in one open space — because at Hidden Falls, even the bedroom is an experience.

This spa-worthy walk-in shower is massive, floor-to-ceiling slate tile, a pebble stone floor, and sleek black fixtures that mean business. Paired with a granite vanity and warm pine trim, it's a bathroom that feels far from roughing it.

The full sweep of the yurt opens up here, soaring wood dome ceiling, statement chandelier, log king bed, cozy sectional, and a rustic dining table all flowing together in one stunning circular space. It's unlike any place you've stayed

A fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and bold blue cabinetry makes cooking in feel just as good as going out. A charming bistro table for two and a work desk round out this surprisingly functional space.

Open, airy, and full of character — the living and dining areas flow together under a soaring wood dome ceiling, with a plush sectional, dining table, and fully equipped kitchen all within the same circular space.

Need to sneak in a few work hours? The dedicated desk and comfortable office chair mean you don't have to choose between the mountains and your inbox.

A full-size washer and dryer mean you can pack light and stay longer, because why rush home when you're this comfortable?

Welcome to Hidden Falls, tucked into the trees, announced by a stone, and exactly as peaceful as it sounds.

A pro series gas grill ready and waiting on the deck, fire it up, breathe in the mountain air, and make tonight's dinner one to remember.

A covered deck wrapped in trees, string lights overhead, a red picnic table, and a grill at the ready — this is outdoor dining the way it should be.

Two reclining wicker chairs on the covered deck, perfectly paired for your morning coffee or an evening conversation with the sound of the hidden waterfall drifting through the trees.

Helpful signage guides you right to Hidden Falls, part of a unique collection of one-of-a-kind retreats tucked into the woods of Bryson City, so the only thing you have to worry about is deciding whether to hit the hot tub or the hiking trail first.

Notes

🔒 Important Policies & Rate Notes

A refundable security hold is placed 1 day 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.

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

Our stay at Hidden Falls was beautiful and relaxing

Karey Blanchard

Our stay at Hidden Falls was beautiful and relaxing! We enjoyed every minute!

We came for our 21st wedding anniversary

Nicole Hall

We came for our 21st wedding anniversary. The yurt was absolutely perfect! It far exceeded our expectations. Jeanette was an excellent host, very responsive to any questions we had, and her home was gorgeous. It literally had every single thing we could think of. This was just what we needed- to get some much needed quality time together, peace and quiet from our hectic go go go lives. Bryson City is a beautiful mountain town with so much to explore. We loved every single second and can't wait to come again.

This was the cleanest place we have ever stayed

Hidden Falls is the perfect romantic mountain get a way

Heather B

Hidden Falls is the perfect romantic mountain get a way. This unique yurt is only a 5 minute drive to Bryson City, but is the perfect level of seclusion and privacy. The interior is spotless, gorgeous and the porch is perfect for a cup of morning coffee while listening to the babbling brook below. After a long day of hiking, the hot tub was a much needed break. The Smokey Mountain National Park, with breathtaking views, is only a few minutes away. Also, check out the Elk with just a short drive to Cherokee. We can’t wait to come back!

Overall I am absolutely in love with this yurt

Kathryn Ragno

Overall I am absolutely in love with this yurt! Jeanette was so helpful cause I messed up the booking 🙄 and didn’t book both nights. She had great options available for me quickly and saved our weekend get away! This place had it all with the extras they added (soap, towels, coffee maker, you name it!). Was very clean and fresh, felt right at home. Beds were very comfortable and the wrap around porch was the best thing for a cup of coffee in the morning.
