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!

One of the top vacations of my life
If you’re used to primitive car camping, this yurt is like a five-star hotel without the price of one. The beds were comfortable, the water was clean and got hot super-fast, and there were plenty of board games and books to keep my family occupied. We had a great time and wished we’d stayed longer and through the weekend so we could go take part in Floyd activities. I loved everything. We will come back and stay at this yurt regularly. I’m from a rural Appalachian town, and I have a lot of bad memories with prejudice and hatefulness. This area did that. My lgbtq+ family felt so safe but with the southern friendly flair I still love. So grateful for Erika and her mom and this wonderful property. We also loved Cosmo, the area dog.

Awesome, cozy spot! We loved our stay at the green yurt. The wrap around porch and outdoor table are perfect for meals and enjoying nature. Make sure to take the GPS route that passes “Huffville cemetery” or you can get into a dicey backroads situation.

Amazing !!
We loved this cozy, eclectic yurt! It was well stocked with games, toiletries, kitchenware and more! What a great way to get away from it all and relax. I highly recommend!

A Magical Place to Stay!
We loved staying at Erika’s yurt and wished we booked a few more nights! The inside is exceptionally clean and stocked with everything we could have needed during our stay. Heating was responsive, WiFi works great, and streaming was a treat.

Cozy and storm proof!
We had a wonderful time in the small yurt (chic mountain yurt). Extremely well stocked with amenities - we needed to use very little of what we actually brought! It stormed intensely both nights we stayed (literally had fully downed trees down the street), and there was zero issues with water in the yurt or anything else, it was pretty soothing hearing the rain hit the roof. It was decently cold at night (30s, lower with windchill) and we were perfectly warm with the gas heater. Erika was extremely fast responding to the few questions I had, including letting us take a look in the other yurt - the two storey one nearby. If you can spring for the larger one, you definitely won't be disappointed and we hope to visit again staying in the other yurt. Heck, I'd live in it full time. They're both beautifully decorated and cozy. The town of Floyd nearby has lots of cute shops and there's plenty to do nearby. We went to the nearby Fairy Stone State Park and Philpott lake and despite the rain it was beautiful scenery!
