But we’re here to talk about the yurts from Lakes End, right?

A full-sized kitchen delivers anything and everything you’ll need for cooking and eating your meals here. There’s even a dishwasher so the one who doesn’t do the cooking can more easily do the cleaning.

Additionally, a stylish and well-appointed living room provides ample space for enjoying some down time in this unique rental. And outdoor spaces (complete with a fire pit) are ideal for enjoying the fresh, cool evenings in the mountains of North Carolina.
