Mother Earth, stargazing from the hot tub, Mountain Views, outdoorsman paradise

Mother Earth offers Mountain View’s, star gazing thru the dome, soaking in the bathtub or stargazing from the hot tub, and near the Blue Ridge Parkway. Fire pits with wood, a wonderful place for small groups with two other yurts, all at different elevations for privacy. We have Starlink internet, and an enclosed deck that is convenient for a small child or pets, and a sleeper sofa and a twin blow up mattress for the occasional xtra guests. Bluetooth music is an added bonus! No extra charge for the fresh mountain air, cool crisp mornings, and skies made for stargazing. I provide several coffee options with locally ground coffee. several nearby places for breakfast and lunch and many great hikes a short drive from the yurt. Also nearby horseback riding, zip lining, the Blue Ridge Music Center, and canoe/kayak rentals. Also a generator is ready to handle the power during ice or snow storms.

Mountain Oasis

Beautiful experience all around! Easy parking and entry to the yurt. Everything was just as described, all we could have wanted and more. Gorgeous view of the mountain from the hot tub. Able to watch the sky as we lay in bed at night. A wonderful place to just relax and soak in your surroundings with your favorite person.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

This Yurt looks EXACTLY as the pictures and then some. The hot tub was amazing along with the bath tub and the overall yurt itself was so cozy and unique. We will for sure be back and next time will bring our fur babies and children. If your looking for a remote place off the grid to relax and enjoy nature, this is it. Jodee the host is so phenomenal at responding quickly with any questions you may have.

Mother Earth retreat

The yurt is beautifully decorated and absolutely everything but charcoal for the grill was provided. The soaking tub & hot tub were awesome. Outside, the fireplace and swing were fun. Easily assessable location, but it’s on a gravel road. Must be able to climb the pictured latter to the bedroom. There is no twin bed in the living room. Great for a couple and taking the dog worked great.
