While camping is a beloved pastime for many North Carolinians, it's not exactly for everyone. Factors like bugs, bears, and no actual bathroom can make even the most avid outdoor enthusiast slightly uncomfortable. Enter glamping: a five-star alternative to an iconic spring and summer experience. While there's plenty of options for glamping across the Tar Heel state, Sky Ridge Yurts takes the idea of glamour camping to a whole new level, literally and figuratively. Without further ado, here's everything you need to know about this picturesque secluded glampground in North Carolina:
High up in the Smoky Mountains and close to both Bryson City and the Nantahala Outdoor Center, Sky Ridge Yurts offers the perfect getaway experience for anyone looking to enjoy nature in a unique fashion. A 'yurt' is a traditional Mongolian tent, but these come with a modern-day twist. Each Yurt is equipped with full or efficiency kitchens, cushy king or queen beds, bathrooms, central heat and air, and a large porch to take in the stunning mountain views.
From the simple 24-foot round yurt to the more spacious 30-foot round yurt with a private bedroom, there's plenty of options for every visitor.
The Fontana is the most popular yurt. It comes equipped with a full kitchen and sleeps up to six. If you get a big group together, the weekend cost will have you spending less than $100/person for this unique, rustic getaway.
Imagine experiences some of the most spectacular views of the Nantahala Gorge from your very own yurt!
Each unit features a central dome that adds an abundance of natural light during the day and is perfect for stargazing at night. Of course, you can't beat the nighttime views you'll witness from your porch.
If you have a large group or are traveling with small children, the Stecoah House is an excellent option. The cabin rises 20 feet in the air and features a private patio, fire pit, and a wrap-around porch with some of the most coveted views of the Smoky Mountains. The large glass windows and thick, timber wood allow you to both admire and feel more at home within nature.
For the non-camper, Sky Ridge Yurts offers a comfortable alternative. You'll experience a tent feeling while not sacrificing creature comforts. From the outside, they may look quaint and somewhat rustic, yet rest assured that all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay are conveniently right there. It's rustic, chic, and magical all at the same time!
