Blue Ridge Yurts is a woman-owned company in Floyd, Virginia, started by my mother, Sharon. We were staying at Treebones, a yurt 'glampground' in Big Sur, California, and fell in love with yurts together. My mom said, "I think I could build one of these," and the company was born! She does all the woodworking, using sustainable practices, with locally-sourced wood, and her best friend Kathy does the fabric end of things. I was one of her early guinea pigs, and love my yurt property dearly <3 This 24' yurt sits on a beautiful private acreage off an end-state maintenance road, with biking and hiking trails just a 20 minute drive from the touristy town of Floyd, Virginia. There's a steam shower sauna, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a deck overlooking the mountains with a table and seating. Enjoy!

Luxury 3-Story Yurt with Kitchen, Wifi, Heat/AC
Great Amenities and Attentive Host
I recently stayed in a yurt for a 3-day, 2-night trip with my dog and friends, and it was an amazing experience. The host was incredibly responsible, always answering our questions promptly and providing detailed instructions on how to get there, which made our arrival smooth and stress-free. The yurt itself was well-equipped, with a kitchen, bathroom, picnic table, and even a modern TV. It was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One highlight of the trip was the level of care the host showed when my drone got stuck in a tree—they were quick to help and ensured we could retrieve it without any issues. Overall, I had a fantastic time and would definitely return. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique and hassle-free getaway!

Yurt camping
We loved the three story yurt on Erika's property! It exceeded all our expectations. The property had a comfortable vibe that made you feel at home. The large dog pen was perfect for our doggies who like to bolt if left off leash. Her dog Cosmo, was a joy and the most well behaved 4 month old pup we've ever seen. The hiking trails behind the property were fun to explore. We highly recommend booking a stay in one of Erika's yurts!

Great Friends Get-away!
My friends and I loved the yurt! We usually camp, but this was so nice for spending rainy and/or hot summer days. We hiked all of the trails on the property and enjoyed many of Erica's suggestions for outings. The kitchen had condiments and spices to pep up our cooking as well as beverages in the fridge available via the honor system. Definitely three thumbs up from us!

Erika is my kind of people! The property itself is a stones throw away from her home yet, still so secluded and private that you don't realize. The trails allow you plenty of opportunities to explore through paths. The Yurt was top notch, so glad we didn't pack a lot of supplies, because a lot of items are there. We only stayed for the weekend. The back patio allowed my family to sit privately and play music and chill. We brought some outdoor cooking equipment to cut down on stove usage since it was middle of July! This helped give us the camping feel we needed. It was hot at times. The fire pit is a bit away from the yurt, we did not have a fire either night which was fine with us, we didn't miss it. We brought camp chairs and never used them, plenty of deck seating for the whole family. The water gets HOT, but once you figure out temp, you're good! The fridge is big enough for a weekends worth of food for 4. Any more than that, you'd probably have to supplement with a food cooler. We just brought a cooler for drinks and left on porch. The internet was speedy and reliable. We drove to the Pilot Mtn. Store once to get ice and an onion. It was 15 minute scenic drive. We drove 30 minutes into downtown Floyd on Saturday, we have been there before, so we just went for ice cream, most places shut down at 5pm so look before you go! We toured the 3 story next door because we had awesome yurt neighbors. Lots of rando dogs roaming, all well behaved. Erika answered text very quickly!!

We always wanted to stay in a yurt!
We really enjoyed our stay in Ericka’s chic yurt! It had everything we needed as a family of 4 traveling through. Our 2 kids (ages 5 and 8) especially enjoyed this fun and unique space and are still talking about how cool it was! We’re already planning where to put one of these on our own property in PA one day :) Highly recommend!
