Nantahala Yurts

Falling Waters Nantahala

Nantahala Yurts – Make your stay in the NC Smokies truly memorable with yurt lodging instead of a cabin rental! Featured on ABC’s Good Morning America “Vacations with a Splash!”, our modern, simple, yet elegant yurts all have private decks, queen-size beds and other amenities ready for you!

Glamping, Mongolian Style

Inspired by the Mongol’s ancient design, the yurts at Falling Waters Nantahala give you a unique alternative to cabin rentals. Our yurts go far beyond the traditional circular tent-style structures. These deluxe accommodations spoil you with their simple elegance and beautiful surroundings.
