Absolutely loved this spot and the Yurt. It was so toasty warm and a cozy bed. We cooked on the grill and used the Coleman stove provided. We enjoyed a 6 hour long campfire and toasted marshmallows and played Gin. Loved the furnace / stove in the yurt. The hosts were so clear and lovely. We felt lucky to stay and nest here.

Our stay at the Riley was a perfect weekend getaway. Shannon was a terrific host from the start making sure that we had everything we needed. The yurt was set up upon our arrival with a cozy gas fired stove for heating, a Coleman cook stove and most everything we might need in the way of utensils. The outdoor firepit was a perfect spot to relax. Pisgah State Park trail head entrance is just across from the campsite and was a easy walk to lots of beautiful hiking. We loved our time there, and would definitely recommend The Riley to our friends.

1 night at Rest Farm
Lovely hosts and loved the spot for my final day of vacation, I would return and stay again for longer to get some hiking in as they have great access to trails. I had most of my own items but well stocked for cooking and pretty secluded and quiet.

We greatly enjoyed our stay! The yurt, farm, and surrounding land are beautiful and peaceful. I loved reading about its history and thinking of all the people and animals who have been here over the years. The spot where the yurt is feels secluded, which helped our anxious dog find some calm in a new environment. Johanna and Bahman were helpful and friendly!

3 nights at Green Gem Yurt Farm Stay
We really enjoyed our three night stay at Trollhaugen! It was relaxing and peaceful. The setting was perfect and private though we could see and hear the farm animals across the brook. We did venture over the very cool “troll” bridge, to visit the animals. The area was beautiful and the people at the general store greeted my husband every morning as he went for coffee as if he were an old friend. Bring coffee if you want to make it yourself and get ice at the grocery store as the general store didn’t have any when we were there. Otherwise, the rustic yurt was well-equipped with everything else we needed. The bed was comfy, the eggs were delish and even with the extreme heat, sleeping was comfortable with our little fan and the windows open. The indoor bathroom with a shower was an A+ for me! My kind of camping - with shelter, a bed and a private bath.

We had a great time staying at the yurt. There were all the amenities- the kitchen, compost toilets, shower, running water, stove, etc. The stay was very comfortable. Impromptu farm tour by the host Johanna was great! The creek runs right next to the yurt and has a fun suspension bridge on it. And there's a little tree swing!!!! Loved the place. Would visit again!

1 night at Green Gem Yurt Farm Stay
The yurt was very comfortable, plenty included to entertain yourself and peaceful at night. The property is beautiful and the yurt is private. The grounds are left very natural so if we went back I would have brought some tall thick socks and bug spray. The guide in the yurt helped a lot with finding coffee and food.

1 night at Green Gem Yurt Farm Stay
We loved camping at this spot! It was the absolute best! It had everything we needed and the no electricity/service really gave us that break we needed. It helped us truly appreciate the simple things in life. 10/10
Plus the farm animals were a huge bonus!!!!

2 nights at Rest Farm
Shannon's yurt was the perfect place to spend a rainy day. The photos on the listing are accurate. The wood stove kept us warm all day & night. (At the time of writing, they start you out with some wood for the stove and then you pay $8 a bundle after that.) The skylight at the top was all the light we needed for most of the day. And there is a state park with trails right across the street!!
The food prep/cook situation was similar to car camping - a coleman double burner stove, some plates/cups, some utensils, a pan or two. If you have specific prep needs, I suggest communicating with Shannon beforehand so you all can figure out if they can provide it or you oughta bring it.
Shannon was very helpful and communicative! Everything we needed, she was able to help us out, including finding the house, which was a little tricky.
It's not stated on the listing, and I think it's helpful to know: you will need a 4wd or all wheel drive vehicle to drive up to the yurt, especially during any precipitation or icy conditions. We did not have that so we parked at the bottom and walked up the hill - somewhere between 50 and 100 yards. *This site is not ADA accessible*
Highly recommend Shannon's yurt if you have no accessibility needs and are down for a low amenity glamping situation!! I would definitely love to return!!
