We bought this amazing 2.5 acre wooded land with a spring and creek on it from our friends who already had a huge healing impact on the land. This land is quiet, it is in a neighborhood and back up to a cow farm. Everyone keeps to themselves, we have three other rentals on the property to share community areas.

This is a beautiful place to spend time. Don’t hesitate. Clean and tidy, fully electric inside the cozy but roomy yurt. Bathroom and shower a few steps away. Everything is like the pictures. We loved our time.

It was a cool little spot! We came in October and the water was low, so if you need water access be sure to ask the lake levels before you go. The yurt had all the comforts of home and Briana was extremely responsive and helpful! She provided water jugs for us so we wouldn't have to haul in our own.

Great spot! You can pack light, as most of what you need is already at the site. Host was very responsive, though we did not need much, as everything was provided. Quiet, peaceful, and private. We had two dogs with us (mine is reactive/fearful) and it was secluded enough that I did not feel that I needed to worry too much during our stay.

Peace and quiet. Loved the lake and the yurt. I said it is a little hard to get down there and back out but since you don't have to take a whole lot it's not terrible.

Weekend Trip to Yurt At Lake James And Fonta Flora
Loved staying in this yurt with my husband and dog for a few nights. It was private, great to hike around from the property, comfortable bed. Also when our lamp had an issue and we needed more water, they accommodated quickly with a new lamp and jugs of water. It was great to relax by the campfire every night.

4 nights at Yurt At Lake James And Fonta Flora
The yurt is absolutely perfect and I cant wait to return! We fished, hiked, paddled (both kayak and SUP), foraged mushrooms, napped in the hammock, and completely unplugged! I haven’t slept that well in months. Everything you need is there….including complete peace! I can’t wait to return!

Weekend Trip to Yurt At Lake James And Fonta Flora
We loved Yurt camping at Brianna 's at Lake James! The yurt is beautifully set in the dense, green forest. There is lots of room inside of the yurt with a very comfortable queen size bed. There is a table & chairs inside, with a dresser, 2 night stands, a picnic basket with pots, pans, plates,cups, and silverware.
They have a huge fan to use also.
On the porch is the portable toilet.

The tent site was excellent. It was very private, with clean sheets, comfortable beds, and a well-maintained tent. The kids had a great time playing in the creek and especially enjoyed hiking the small loop after dark to see the fairy lights. The bathroom was cleaner and nicer than expected, making the stay even more enjoyable.

This site was perfect! I went on a rainy weekend, and even then it was so peaceful. It has everything you need and is private, right near the stream and lake. Couldn’t make a fire with the rain but the grill was great. I brought my dogs and they enjoyed it too! Pack light on your way down for sure. I would highly recommend this site and will likely come back again. T-Mobile does not have service at the site but does about a minute drive away

1 night at Triple J Farm and Campground
We LOVED camping here ! We are not campers by sport and are in no way, experts but this was amazing.
The property is sooo cute ! We went on a walk and picked a basketful of blackberries 🥰
The goats provided everything we needed to be comfy, the yurt area was perfect for our small family. The creek, swing, grill, and all. We loved it !
A really bad thunderstorm hit the night we stayed and we hunkered down and made it through. It was an experience we will NEVER forget and can't wait to visit again.
Our kids loved them panning in the creek, and the shower - the outdoor shower was the favorite lol

Neat spot ! Great location- Glamp away ! We got a super rainy weekend and the Yurt was a warm, dry, spacious and sturdy shelter! My 6 yr old loved it. Despite rain, we had great campfires w/ complimentary firewood. It was fun to sit on the dock and listen to the bullfrogs. The bed is super comfortable and the freshly laundered bedding smelled wonderful. You do need to be prepared to hike about 1/10 of a mile to the campsite from the parking space. I put our cooler in my wagon and then we cheated and brought our e-bike w trailer to haul the gear out (it’s uphill on the way out.) We visited Fonta Flora Brewery nearby and accessed Lake James at the Linville boat ramp. It was great!
