Yurt in Mars Hill

Romantic Yurt, Hot Tub, Farm & Tropical Greenhouse

Recent review: “Ginny and Mark’s property is quite literally heaven on Earth. The gardens, the bird song, the pond, fireflies, starlight in the hot tub, the private sunset trail … Can it get any more magical? It all feels like your very own healing retreat. We were so at ease and felt immense peace the 5 nights we spent here. We both were sad to leave. Ginny was so hospitable and kind. There is not one thing we would’ve changed. It was honestly perfect. Do yourself a favor and STAY HERE!
