Spicewood Yurt

★ Two king suites, one circular yurt.

Spicewood is a round hard-wall yurt at Elk Hollow, tucked between two quiet subdivisions and a horse pasture. The loudest thing here is birdsong, with the odd deer or wild turkey out the window.

🛋️ INSIDE
➝ Open, light, airy circular layout
➝ Plush sofa + Smart TV for movie nights
➝ Full kitchen: teal cabinets, granite, stainless, stocked pantry

★ The beds are the single most-praised thing in our reviews

➝ Gas grill + picnic table
➝ String lights overhead after dark
➝ Fire pit for s'mores
➝ Private hot tub under the stars, open year-round

♥ WHO IT'S FOR
Two couples, or a family of four who want two real bedrooms instead of a shared space, with an infant or young child welcome as a fifth. Quiet by design, so it's a getaway, not a party house.

🚗 GETTING HERE
No 4WD and no white-knuckle climb, and the main deck and hot tub are step-free. The driveway is tight, so larger vehicles should use the upper drive to turn around. Five minutes from downtown Bryson City, right by the Deep Creek entrance to the Smokies.

➳ GOOD TO KNOW
Hidden Falls, our one-bedroom yurt, sits just behind Spicewood. Guests rarely notice it, but if you're traveling as a bigger group or two families, book both for two private units side by side.
