Hi there, folks! For starters, welcome! We sure are happy that you found our little diamond in the rough. Our Mountain View Yurt is located in the mountains of North Georgia, perfectly nestled in the valley of Lookout Mountain. With the beautiful city of Chattanooga only a short 20 minutes away, you truly have the best of both worlds! Enjoy all of the wonderful attractions the city has to offer while starting and ending your day with a mountain view that just never gets old. A true yurt is a circular tent of felt or skins on a collapsible framework, used by nomads in Mongolia, Siberia, and Turkey. Our yurt differs in material but not structure. Our Mountain View Yurt was hand built with recycled, rough cut lumber and was built to last. In fact, she has been standing proudly since 1995. We respect transparency here in the valley of North Georgia, and want it to be clear that our yurts are NOT the Hilton 😁 Not to say that they aren’t nice, just to say that they are different 😊 I categorize them as Glamping. You are under the stars with all the basic amenities you could need, however, nature still plays a role in peak comfort. The yurt is cooled with a window a/c unit and heated by baseboard and stand alone heaters. In the dead of summer, it may still be a bit warm during day and just the opposite in the dead of winter at night. We’re a place for the explorers with an outdoorsy heart, but maybe not for the bougie vacationer 🙃 Next discussion is WIFI. We have it, but it’s not the best. It can get the basics done, but if you’re traveling for work and depend on it for your job, it’s not always up for the assignment. All in all... She's pretty and round in all the right places. Laid out perfectly to accommodate you + one, so load up that honey of yours for that weekend getaway y'all deserve. The entire unit. I have installed a lockbox allowing you to arrive and depart with more freedom and less stress over arrival time. My plan is to always be as helpful as possible during your stay, but will never intrude! Your vacation is not about me :) I am only a phone call or text message away and if we end up meeting one another, that's just a bonus! I do not live on site, but do have an on site maintenance man that is the absolute best. His name is Sam. You may see him mowing the grass or cleaning the outdoor fish pond. The beautiful valley we are nestled in that provides us with our beautiful mountain view, also serves as the Landing Zone of the most well known hang gliding school in the world - Lookout Mountain Flight Park. Enjoy your favorite beverage from the deck all while watching hang glider pilots launch from the mountain. If you want to top that, we can get you in the air too! This neighborhood is a very eclectic group of people and structures. The yurts are not secluded, but somewhat private. This area serves as a community for full time residents and vacationers. There is a moderate sized RV park neighboring the yurt property, which is monitored, safe and rented out solely to the flying community. Across the large Landing Zone (very much out of sight) there is a wonder creek (feel free to fish!) and a primitive tent campground that is also monitored, safe and used solely by the flying community - Located on an active hang gliding flight park runway. - Beautiful creek on property (less than .5 miles walk across the big field). - Very large deck with seating attached to yurt. - Nearby shared firepit on site.
