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!

This is our 4th year coming to the Yurt. We always appreciate the cozy, artsy vibe, the nooks to curl up in with a book, the hiking trails, and the proximity to Floyd. The kids especially enjoyed playing with the several dogs and cat that run the property and the garden hammock, and they love having their "own" yurt and the massive "tiny chair." The basics are all there (though a bit limited/worn out for cooking; if you're particular about things like chipping nonstick coatings or peeling paint on cookware, you might want to bring some of your own; but if you're keeping it basic, we had what we needed to cook multiple meals). There are always nice surprises as well - markers, books, tea, games - to explore as well. We will back back next fall to enjoy this unique place and beautiful land again.

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!
