Roamstead was born on a family RV trip across the country. Our founders noticed their glamorous plans often ended in glorified parking lots or dirty campgrounds without amenities or thought regarding design. Alongside that, many campgrounds seemed unapproachable to those who hadn’t been before. A vision was born to reinvent 'roughing it' in a way that could welcome all adventurers to experience the magic of the great outdoors.
We believe the beauty of nature should be experienced by everyone. It's good for your health, and the more we connect with and learn about the outdoors, the more we'll feel compelled to protect it. Whether you've been camping all your life or this would be your first trip, we're here for you. We aim to build a bridge (you know, a metaphorical one) to the great outdoors, where all adventures can truly feel welcome.
Roamstead is committed to making our outdoor spaces accessible to everyone. At our Smoky Mountains location, we're partnering with Friends of the Smokies to do just that. Friends assists the National Park Service in its mission to preserve and protect the Great Smoky Mountains National Park by raising funds and public awareness, and providing volunteers for needed projects. They restore trails, build handicap accessible access points, and provide urban youth educational opportunities in the park, to name just a few of their many projects. A dollar of each stay at Roamstead Smoky Mountains is donated back to Friends of the Smokies to help continue their mission.

Fauna Forest Farm is 33 acres of open fields, hardwood and pine forests, a spring and creek, and beautiful mountain views.
The vision of the farm is to be a place of sanctuary for both people and the life of the land - the plants, animals, insects, and fungi that inhabit it. Core to that is the educational programs, workshops, and therapeutic experiences we host, as well as regenerative agriculture principles we practice.
The farm is also a place where community is fed through sharing in the harvest of organically grown eggs, veggies, foraged foods, and eventually, meats, dairy, nuts, and fruits. The farm is currently home to chickens and two horses. In the past, the farm nurtured Dexter cows (a small breed from Ireland), as well as much wildlife. We have only been on the land since 2022, and are still expanding our farm offerings, but we have big dreams for the farm and are grateful to open this place of sanctuary to others who share a love of the natural world.

The cutest little spot with lots of privacy, great views, and adjacent to lots of hiking, food, etc. we are a family of four with two kids under three and felt safe and comfortable here. The host was so sweet and kind by driving us down to our car at the entry to their driveway when we got a flat tire. Awesome site, we hope to come again!

3 nights at Forestside Yurt Near Marshall
If you are looking for peace, quiet and complete solitude with the comforts of home then I highly recommend Kathryn’s yurt. It was perfect for my teenage son and me to enjoy our trip to Asheville and the surrounding area for hiking and zip lining. To find the yurt, you will drive up a steep gravel driveway and about a quarter of a mile to a pull-off space to park the car. The yurt is just a few steps down a well-lit pathway. Inside the yurt is a kitchenette with a drip coffee maker, microwave, toaster, mini fridge and tiny dishwasher. There were plenty of plates, cups and utensils to share. We brought a folding table and camping stove to set up outside for cooking, which was perfect. There’s also a fire ring with chairs in the back of the yurt. There are a few grocery stores a short drive away. The beds were comfortable enough and the split heating/ac unit kept it nice and cozy. This yurt is exactly what I was looking for. We did not see or hear anyone else the whole time we were there. The views are just stunning and you can hear the rushing river from below. I will definitely stay again the next time I’m in the area.

My friend, daughter, and I stayed in Kathryn's yurt a few weekends ago. It was everything we'd hoped for and more! The location was perfect. The yurt is nestled on top of a private hill that overlooks the mountains. The view was breathtaking. It was secluded, but Kathryn said she lived right up the hill. This provided a sense of comfort, especially since I had a young child with me. Kathryn was at the property upon our arrival to show us around, let us know how everything worked, and she made sure we were all set for our weekend. She said we could reach out if we needed anything at all! The yurt was BEAUTIFUL inside and had everything to make our stay in nature a tad more comfortable. AC, compost toilet, sink with running water, mini fridge, power outlets, and other creature comforts we've been spoiled with. I have to say, the trundle bunk bed was a genius space-saver! We attempted to make dinner on the fire pit, but Mother Nature had other plans and threw a couple of storms our way. It did get loud inside the yurt with the heavy rainfall, but I was glad to be in a firm structure rather than a tent! The gravel was a tad tricky on the drive up to the yurt the first day, but upon calling Kathryn, she instructed us how to get around it and assured us that it was getting fixed asap. I would definitely stay here again. Heck, I would live there if I could! Kathryn was a phenomenal host. I would highly recommend this space to anyone looking for a getaway!

We loved staying at Roamstead. We stayed in a yurt which was fantastic. It was warm and cozy (low in the 20's at night), and perfectly decorated. The bed had an amazingly comfortable mattress. Ample outlets for charging phones, coffee pot, etc. There were easy well lit paths to bathhouse and lodge. The staff was amazing! They're fabulous baristas as well. We truly felt at home away from home. We certainly hope our travels lead us back in the future. We have absolutely no complaints.

The area where the yurts are is at the very back of the property, so it’s secluded and beside a stream. You can sleep with the sounds of a babbling brook & it’s heavenly! The property is well maintained, except for the lawn behind the main lodge…that one, you cant step in an area of the lawn without stepping on to animal scat (idk if it’s dog or other animals, but it’s the only area where every inch is covered with it, everywhere else? Clean.). The bathhouses & toilets are very vlean with very warm/hot showers & the hair dryers actually work & are full sized ones. Guests were all respectful of the quiet times & the staff were friendly & helpful. Overall, I highly recommend it & it definitely is kid friendly, with a well maintained playground my kid loved! Gburg & PF are 30-45 min away, so if you get tired of the peace & quiet, you can easily drive there for more touristy stuff. We’ll be back for sure!
