Imagine, relaxing in your own private oasis, listening to the sounds of nature, lying in your comfortable queen size canopy bed or enjoying a favorite book in your wicker chair while sipping a warm cup of coffee.

Yurts offer you a lodging experience that cannot compare to other types of accommodations.

As you awake in the morning from a restful sleep your own private shower area awaits you.

Experience a yurt at Georgia's first bed and breakfast yurts.

Note: Unlike the State Parks these are not camping yurts and do not have provisions for cooking (ie dishes, pots/pans, picnic tables, etc). Some call our yurt experience "Glamping".

No smoking, candles or cooking are permitted inside due to insurance restrictions.

Our yurt guests enjoy breakfast in the inn each morning and typically eat lunch and dinner out in one of the areas many restaurants.

Our yurts are located down the hill from the inn and require guests to navigate rustic steps and paths made of wood mulch/gravel (watch video below).

The facilities are not handicapped accessible.

We do not have rollaways or TV's. Only 2 adults maximum per yurt.

Also visit Policies for other information.

Adults (18 & over) only. No Pets or Smoking.

Please Note: Summer months May-Mid September can have warm/hot afternoons (80 degrees plus) from 1-5pm. Guests staying in a yurt should make plans to spend the afternoon out of the yurt due to afternoon heat. Bring a bathing suit, go tubing, kayaking, hiking in the mountains or tour the wineries. You will be much cooler. The yurt air conditioner will work better in the morning and late afternoons/evenings. It is not designed to cool the yurt as cold as a traditional home (the yurt is a tent structure and not as well insulated as your home). AC units are installed when the nights become consistently warmer (typically May-Mid Sept).

For check in's please do not check in before 5pm and use the AC since it will not be able to cool the yurt/tent structure and such attempt is not environmentally friendly. You may check in prior to 5pm (3-9pm) and drop your belongings off and return after 5pm. If staying more than one night please schedule afternoon activities out of the yurt as noted above.

Don't Choose a Yurt Over a Room in the Inn if:

You don't want to walk to your bathroom (shower, sink, flush toilet) in any kind of weather.

You don't want to shut the windows when it's raining.

You like cool air conditioning all day in warmer weather. Yurt ac only cools in the evening.

You don't like the sound of rain, wind or thunder storms.

You want running water in your unit.

You don't want to hear sounds of nature that might occur at night.

You don't want to walk outside in any kind of weather to breakfast each morning.

Bottom line is a yurt is not for everyone which is OK. We do have nice rooms and a suite in the inn. We have many repeat guests who always stay in a room or suite.

"One of our best trips ever and we learned quite a bit about sustainable living and yurts. We are sure we will see you again. Thanks" Rottenbergs from Florida.

"We just loved your yurt and the conversations with the two of you were wonderful. Not only is your hospitality wonderful but the green education you are providing outstanding." Ellen and Stephen, Georgia

"Although we recycle at home, we probably waste without being aware. You have certainly given us an awareness that will help us make small changes to "Going Green" and small changes can make a big difference in the future for our girls." The French's, Georgia
