Location Information
Directions: You cannot see the house from the road so please no drivebys. Please make an appointment. From Asheville take 1-26 towards Woodfin/Weaverville. Go 18 miles on I-26 and take exit 9 for US-19N towards Burnsville/Spruce Pine. Go 4.4 miles then take a U-turn at Bethel Circle. Turn right onto Jordan Branch Rd after 0.3 miles. When you get onto Jordan Branch Road, the entrance to the main house is the 4th driveway on the right-hand side, you’ll turn right in front of the white mailbox with 240 on it. Then veer left at the old tobacco barn to access the driveway. To get to Yurt, continue straight on Jordan Branch Rd and you will see it about 0.1 miles up from the white mailbox on your right.
