Hidden Falls – A Romantic Hard-Wall Yurt Retreat
Designed for couples, Hidden Falls is a quiet, romantic escape tucked between two peaceful subdivisions and a nearby horse pasture. Here, the soundtrack is simple—birdsong, a rushing creek, and the occasional glimpse of deer or wild turkey passing through.
Inside, the space blends upscale rustic charm with clean, modern touches—polished concrete floors, warm textures, and thoughtful details throughout. The open layout feels both spacious and intimate, with a deep, plush sofa and built-in chaise perfect for unwinding after a day in the mountains. A wall-mounted TV with Wi-Fi makes cozy nights in just as inviting.
The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops and stainless appliances, making it easy to prepare anything from morning coffee to a full meal. An intimate table for two invites slow dinners with a view.
The sleeping area is anchored by a luxurious Amish hand-crafted king-size Aspen log bed. A freestanding soaking tub offers a quiet place to relax, while the full bath includes a walk-in shower. A washer and dryer add everyday convenience.
Step outside to the oversized porch—ideal for morning coffee or evening wine, surrounded by the stillness of the woods. Grill dinner, dine al fresco, or gather around the fire pit under the stars. The private hot tub, thoughtfully positioned for seclusion, is the perfect place to end the day.
Located just minutes from the Deep Creek entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains and about five minutes from downtown Bryson City, you’re close to hiking, waterfalls, tubing, and local dining—while still feeling completely tucked away.

Stayed at Romantic Couples' Escape for our 25th anniversary trip. Beautiful place! It was a great retreat for my husband and me-quiet and peaceful! Would love to stay there again!
Loved this yurt in Bryson city!! It was a great location close to Bryson City and secluded for privacy outside on the deck and in the Hot Tub. It was very clean and had everything you would need for a great getaway!
Super clean and nicely decorated. Comfy bed. The hot tub was perfect! Loved how close we were to The Deep Creek section of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. A very scenic area with lots to see and do.
Awesome location. Close enough to get to everything ,but far enough to be peaceful and back to nature. The building was super nice. Plenty of room and very cozy. We loved the hot tub and large bath tub. We will highly recommend this place to our friends.
Beautiful surroundings and immaculate Yurt. Everything we needed to relax and regenerate. Babbling creek was wonderful to hear as we sat on the deck. Close to town and shops. Fall color was vibrant. We will be back. Already recommended this VRBO to friends.
It was our first time staying in a yurt, so we didn’t know what to expect. We were amazed at how easy it was to get there. Plenty of room inside the yurt, and filled with everything you need to relax and enjoy the smoky mountains. We will definitely stay here again!
We had an amazing week at this jem tucked away in the woods. It was the perfect cozy environment to unwind and relax from busy day to day life. The downtown area was so cute and walkable and there were so many nice trails to hike. Would most definitely recommend and would love to travel back!
We enjoyed this beautiful yurt and all it has to offer. The unit was fully stocked with just about anything you would need. I would encourage adding an ironing board but that would be it! The unit was so clean and cozy!! Hope to stay again!
First impression was mind blowing! This place is incredible. The perfect romantic getaway. Everything is first class. Attention to detail of everything is exceptional from dishes to deck.
You won't be disappointed staying here!!!
This place was a five star from the time we opened the front door. My wife and I stayed here for our 42nd anniversary. We were absolutely thrilled about our choice. Must stay here to truly appreciate it. The location, the hot tub, the porch, the fire pit, and the cleanliness all over the top! We had the opportunity to meet Jeanetta ,the host, a super lady.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Hidden Falls. In addition to it being set in a lovely and quiet section of woods, well off the beaten path, it is still close enough to town to enjoy all the benefits of beautiful Bryson City. The property is well-appointed and well-maintained. Everything about the cabin was just as described online.
We live in hot, sunny south Florida and our trip to the mountains was just what the doctor ordered, We enjoyed the mountains, water falls and cooler temperatures. Hidden Falls is definitely a "hidden gem." Thank you for a wonderful getaway. We'll be back!
This was the cleanest place we have ever stayed. The host definitely thought of all the little things. We loved staying there and can’t wait to go back!
Hidden Falls is the perfect romantic mountain get a way. This unique yurt is only a 5 minute drive to Bryson City, but is the perfect level of seclusion and privacy. The interior is spotless, gorgeous and the porch is perfect for a cup of morning coffee while listening to the babbling brook below. After a long day of hiking, the hot tub was a much needed break. The Smokey Mountain National Park, with breathtaking views, is only a few minutes away. Also, check out the Elk with just a short drive to Cherokee. We can’t wait to come back!
Great place to stay for couples. Awesome location, super clean, peaceful and great decor. Everything you need is at this property. Would recommend to any couple.
