Our family enjoyed staying in the yurt at Cat's place. In terms of the setting, it's a beautiful area and the road into Burnsville is stunning. Coming from the opposite direction (from the south) the road turns into a gravel road in the Pisgah National Forest with a few cool hikes and nice views, and then turns back to a paved road a few miles before reaching Cat's place. (The road from Burnsville is paved all the way.) Nice place to explore. Our kids had fun playing with the bunnies and we all *loved* the yurt- it was super cozy and furnished with a sofa, coffee, hot chocolate, a tea kettle, and a charging station, and other nice touches, and had a fire pit and table and chairs right outside. plus a port-a-potty by the parking area. Cat also added a futon for us and both beds were really comfortable. It rained one night and was awesome hearing the rain while everything and everyone stayed dry in the yurt. Cat was kind, great communication, and offered suggestions on local activities, trails, eateries etc. It's ~35 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is what we came to explore, but the drive itself was a highlight. Burnsville's got a charming downtown as does Spruce Pine (nearby). Little Switzerland was cool, too. Recommended for glamping!
