Secluded Yurt in the Heart of the New River Gorge

Situated only 3 miles from downtown Fayetteville and within 15 min of trails, rivers, and climbing, this idyllic space makes you feel like you are in your own little ecotopia. The yurt is nestled on 2 acres surrounded by gardens and the forest. It is built eco-friendly complete with a composting toilet which is incredibly easy to use. Large windows are situated to allow natural sunlight and cross breezes and the dome in the center of the roof lets you sleep under the stars at night. The yurt feels like it is a lot bigger than it is. It sleeps two in the queen bed in the loft above and two in the full sized pull out sofa. Perfect for a couple, small family or a couple close friends. Note that the bathroom only has a curtain for privacy. There is another secluded outdoor, covered composting toilet overlooking the forest! Altogether, there is a lot of room outside to relax and play as well as a bonfire pit (must provide your own wood.) New is 2021 is a mini-split, dual air conditioning and heating unit for year round comfort. The fireplace it is not able to be used due to insurance regulations. The dome, 2 windows and a sliding glass door open to allow great ventilation. The WiFi is strong to power all your devices. **Open now for November. Please be aware that since the driveway is steep if we get snow you may want to park at the top of the hill and walk down. It is a south facing drive so a light dusting melts quick.*** You will have the whole yurt and grounds to yourselves, however we recently bought the 6 acres below and are in the process of cleaning them up so you may hear us going up and down the driveway at times as both pieces of property share access. Otherwise no one else shares this driveway. I live one mile away and am around to help with anything you need when in town. The yurt sits down a windy country road. Just 3 miles away is a Kroger, Walmart and everything else you could need but you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. Lots of parking! Driveway can fit four vehicles. The toilets are composting toilets. One is located inside the yurt, and there is one attached to the back of the little red shed outside. Very easy to use and do not have an odor. Be sure to use ample peat moss! They are cleaned with soap and water between uses, sprayed with disinfectant, and dried completely. Believe me, it’s cleaner than a normal toilet in the long run. Co-Vid Cleaning updates: On the host’s part: Stringent cleaning guidelines will be followed. Luckily this small space is easy to clean. All surfaces regularly touched by guests will be wiped down with disinfecting cleaner. On the guest’s part: There will be disinfecting cleaners for you to use while here. If you take them you will be charged for them. Please don’t steal or use excessive toilet paper or cleaners. We all know these are in demand and I would like all guest to have access to them. You will be expected to leave the yurt clean and close to how you found it. That means cleaning all your dishes thoroughly in hot water, wiping down all surfaces after eating and ideally surfaces you know you have touched. I will do the same but the more, the cleaner and safer! This protects me, you, and my future guests. PLEASE NO BACON! I know this is a silly request but the bacon smell and grease has lasted for days before and is really hard to get the smell out and the grease up. As far as smells, no smoking is allowed at all in the yurt or near the open doors. If we have to do excessive cleaning of curtains, throw pillows etc due to bacon or smoke you will be charger an extra $500 deep cleaning fee. There is an orange hamper for you to put all your used towels and linens in. Please strip the bed of the sheets before you leave.
