You've been given the key. Come experience 60-acres of private mountain land off the Blue Ridge Parkway with big mountain views, lush Appalachian forest, & our very own waterfall! Inspired by the tale of a young gnome who discovers the power of gratitude in the forest. We bring Hoot Owl Ridge to you with in the same spirit. We are within 15 min of three magnificent waterfalls (Crabtree, Grassy Creek, & Tom's Creek), and only 25 mins from Linville Gorge!
Though we are very secluded in the mountains, Walmart is only 5 mins down the road. Spruce Pine is 10-15 mins and has food, grocery, gas, hospital, and a brewery. Marion is a bigger town with mostly anything you could be looking for and is about 20mins away down the mountain. If you want some city buzz, head to vibrant Asheville under an hour away, where you'll find endless art, restaurants, breweries, live music, and more.
Live closer to the earth, the mountains, the curious creatures, and return home with some gratitude!
The yurt was amazing! The hanging chairs were a big hit with our daughter!! Beautiful, clean and well appointed with everything you need (ice, propane, water, cooking utensils, spices, foil, wine opener you name it. The interior is designed so beautifully that you really feel as if you are in your own private 5 star hotel. Evan is amazing and we couldn’t recommend it more!

My partner and I typically go the back county or car camping route, but we wanted somewhere soft to land after a backpacking trip on part of the AT. We didn't want to compromise the seclusion and closeness with nature we experience while camping, and April's Tree House was the perfect spot! It was romantic, comfortable, quiet and clean. And we were still immersed in the forest with the sounds of birds and trees rustling. The view from the deck was gorgeous and we enjoyed the light of the full moon through the dome. The waterfall hike left us feeling refreshed. And Evan had the placed stocked with all the necessities from cookware to fresh spring water. It's in a great central location to tons of hiking and a couple of restaurants. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We will return in the future!
Hubby and I brought the dog for a weekend getaway. We had an amazing time and even looked at booking our next stay while we were there. The views are amazing, the dome is comfy and clean. We enjoyed visiting the local waterfalls and the small waterfall on site. The outhouse is a really close walk, which was very convenient. Even though there were two other sites around us, they were far enough so we didn’t hear anything and still enjoyed all the lovely sounds of nature. The deck around the hut was the best part since we were able to have meals out there while watching the sunrise / sunset. The hosts thought of everything small you might need and included their story and a gratitude journal. We will definitely be back!
