Yurt @ Lake James Fonta Flora trail
After Helene.
What a beautiful campsite. Glamping at its best! Even Hurricane Helene Brianna was able to have everything up and ready. She had massive flooding Anat the Yurt but was able to have everything prepared for us! She is an amazing host and cares about if you are enjoying her spot. So amazing! Thank you Brianna Hope to see you in January.

Great little camping experience.
The Yurt at Lake James was as wonderful as described. Brianna made extra efforts to make the visit comfortable and convenient.
The accomodations including the bed were very comfy.
The generator worked great to power a light and fan for the evening, which was all we really needed.
Despite a rainy visit it was a very nice get away into the woods with many of the comforts of home.

Honestly, it was so refreshing to know that the space had so many of the camping necessities we needed! We brought our own kayak and paddle board and mountain bikes and had a fabulous time! It is super private and a beautiful trail to get to the Yurt.

Nice Spot!
Brianna’s place was wonderful! The yurt felt clean on the inside and the bed was comfortable and clean as well. There were many useful tools in the kitchen basket as well. The little generator they had was very useful for charging our phones. We have T-Mobile and did not have any service, not really a big deal since we were camping anyway, if anything that should be a positive! There were plenty of seating areas for us two. The grill worked well for cooking. I will say that if you want a fan or something to sleep with in the yurt, do not rely on the one in there… it works great but is crazy loud 😂. The lake was a very short walk away, highly recommended renting the kayak. We took a paddle on it around to the next cove and swam a little bit by the community bench. Being on the Fonta trail is wonderful, we went a ways down it while we were there. Only had two people walk by the trail while we were there for three days. The yurt feels secluded. The first night we did hear one of the neighbor’s dogs barking from across the lake, little but annoying but he stopped around 11:30 the first night and we didn’t hear him again. Nothing to do about that but a set of ear plugs wouldn’t be a bad idea if you are susceptible to annoyance from a dog barking. Overall, it is a wonderful spot with a beautiful little creek running right behind the yurt. Highly recommend!

This is an amazing spot! Super private, along a creek with access to the lake with the kayak available for rent. The firepit was stocked with logs and the gas grill was awesome. We REALLY appreciated the electric fan inside the yurt as we visited on particularly warm days. The small generator was such a bonus - powering the fan and hot plate, but was also available for device charging. The best part was how immaculately clean everything was. This would be ideal for someone new to camping, or like us, love camping but wanted a break from all the set-up/takedown that we're used to. The yurt really has everything you need. If you're eating onsite, I recommend carrying your food down in a bag or backpack bc a steel cooler is provided. Try to pack only what you can carry so the walk down is more fun and not a trudge. We each carried backpack and a small bag of food/drinks and it was ideal. Highly, highly recommend this place. Also, check out Flora Fonta brewery even if you don't drink beer - it's a gorgeous property with picnic tables and a food truck.

I loved absolutely everything about this place! The peace and quiet the privacy and the fact that there was a camper potty everything was immaculately clean and enjoyed the little touches like the coffee the fan and everything that they had put together I've already told almost everybody I know about this place so hopefully you'll get some people coming your way! I'll definitely be back thank you for my enjoyable trip
