Glamping at its finest - riverfront yurt, 30-minutes west of Asheville

Experience the charm of a cabin in the woods with the modern amenities of home and the unique Zen-like experience of a Yurt. What's a Yurt? Yurts are circular dwellings built around a wood frame, originally designed by the Nomads of Mongolia. Today they are enjoyed in a variety of glamping settings, coast to coast.

Perched high above the Pigeon River, at the Wildcat Ridge peony farm, our luxury yurt--the first of its kind in Haywood County--features a full kitchen, bathroom, separate bedroom, living room with sleeper sofa, dining areas, wrap-around porch with a grill for your BBQ, and an outdoor fire pit with seating.

Ringed by mountains, our Yurt is located on a small family farm that specializes in peonies (May is peak peony season) and cultivated fig trees.

Wildcat Ridge Farm is just 30-minutes east of downtown Asheville, at the gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Nantahala National Forest and near Pisgah National Forest. We are also a short 20-minute drive to historic downtown Waynesville with its handmade arts & crafts, furniture shops, restaurants and bars.

Spend your days hiking, white water rafting, canoeing, visiting the hot springs, skiing Cataloochee in the winter, biking in the warmer months, or taking in the sights and sounds of Asheville and Biltmore Estate.

Location was great, close enough to Waynesville / Maggie Valley area, but still remote and peaceful. View of the river and gardens was great. Riccardo was a wonderful host.

This was our first yurt experience and the property was fantastic as were the owners. The view of the river is amazing. The property is so peaceful and we had a relaxing time. Ricardo met us on the way in and showed us around and even left us a bottle of wine and chocolate. He was an awesome host! Can’t wait to return!

This property was just beautiful. Our first time staying in a yurt and it was very cool. The yurt was clean and stocked with everything you need. The view overlooking the Pigeon River was breathtaking. The owners were so nice...left us a bottle of wine and chocolate:) We will definitely be back for a future stay!

We loved our stay at Yin Yurt. It was wonderful being truly unplugged for a while and reconnecting with just existing. We went hiking during the days we were there at Great Smoky National Park and at Black Balsam Knob, which we learned about from the guide created by our hosts. We just left on Monday, and we’re already planning our next visit.

Our first time staying in a yurt and we loved it! Beautifully decorated and amazing views of the mountains and the beautiful river. We chose the perfect time to visit as the Fall Foliage was majestic! Wonderful hosts who made us feel very welcome!

No need to look any further, click "Book Now". All the reviews are 5 stars which does this place an injustice because it deserves 10 stars. The absolute most unique getaway. This place is better than any resort you could imagine. The photos are great but it's even more spectacular in person. The sound of the river was amazing. This will blow your mind when you see the details that were put into the accommodations. Ricardo such an accomplished individual, please allow him to tell you his stories which are nothing short of legendary. From the wines, flowers, restaurant, tour trips, hosting events and professional chef, he's awesome! This was the most tranquil trip we've ever taken. You will not find another place like this. Wish we had more time! Thank you!

This place is awesome! Outdoor fire pit, plenty of open space indoors, great view down to the river, and all the amenities you could think of. The owners know how how to take care of you!
