The Yogi House at Nantahala Spiritual Retreat is a tiny home in nature in the Great Smoky Mountains. While the house is very small, it has all the amenities for a comfortable stay. A 10 x 12 deck in front of the house has plenty of room for yoga, relaxation, meditation, reading and writing, while listening to the sounds of the nearby creek. While there is no internet at the house, there is internet a short walk away, as well as 4G available at the top of the mountain on the 22 acres of NSR.

This area of Nantahala is rural, with few homes. It is mostly pine forest, along with other trees. Access here is easy, even in winter. The roads here are level or gently sloping, so they are good for walking. Queens Lake, which is a small, peaceful lake with a dock and picknic area, is a short drive from here.
