Wake up on the bright side at Sunny Side Up, a cozy riverside yurt tucked along the peaceful Cane River, just 30 minutes off I-26 (Exit 9) and about 16 minutes from Spivey Gap on the Appalachian Trail. This one-room retreat offers a simple, off-grid mountain experience with all the basics you need to unplug and unwind. Inside, you’ll find a wood stove for cool nights, a propane refrigerator and stove, and space to sleep up to four guests. There’s even a massage table available if you’d like to bring a bit of spa energy to your stay. Step out onto the back deck overlooking the river—perfect for your morning coffee, stargazing, or drifting off to the sound of rushing water. An outhouse is located nearby. There’s no air conditioning or cell service, but Wi-Fi can be added for an extra fee, and you can usually find a good signal about 10 minutes away in either direction. Please note: The property is not wheelchair- or mobility-friendly due to the natural terrain. Whether you’re hiking the Appalachian Trail, exploring Burnsville, or simply soaking in the peace of the mountains, Sunny Side Up is your invitation to reconnect with nature—slow down, breathe deep, and enjoy the quiet beauty of river life.Guests have the entire yurt and surrounding outdoor space to themselves, offering plenty of room to relax and unwind in the peaceful mountain setting. Inside, the yurt is comfortably furnished with a full-size bed, a couch, a cot, and extra floor space for an inflatable mattress if needed. There’s a full-size refrigerator and a propane stove for cooking. The site has a clean outhouse just a short walk away with clear instructions posted inside. There’s no indoor bathroom or shower, and no hot water on demand — water can be heated in a kettle or on the wood or propane stove, adding to the simple off-grid experience. Amenities are rustic but comfortable, perfect for guests who enjoy a cozy, unplugged stay close to nature. Hiking, waterfalls, and Burnsville’s small-town charm are all nearby. For Appalachian Trail hikers, shuttle service can be arranged from Spivey Gap or into town for groceries and supplies.
