Description from owner

Description

The Nantahala Spiritual Retreat (NSR) sits on 22 acres in the heart of the Nantahala National Forest In the wilderness of Western North Carolina

Experience the option of being UNPLUGGED in a modified FARADAY CAGE! Relax and rejuvenate in a quiet, peaceful environment with fresh, clean air and vitalized, deep well water. Enjoy a fireside evening, watching the stars at the firepit.

Easy access year round. Located near many mountain attractions.

The space

Nantahala Spiritual Retreat (NSR) has been created by Steve Dean and Bobbie Ammons (Kriya Yogis) to offer a unique meditational experience in the mountain wilderness of the Nantahala National Forest.

NSR is located near the back of Old Happy Top Cove, on Apple Tree Creek, at 3,300 ft elevation. The area is also known as Lost Silver Mine, where legends of Cherokee wagons full of silver were hid, and have never been found to this day.

There is a mountaintop view on the property, as well as three creeks.

Guest access

The Nantahala Spiritual Retreat (NSR) has easy road access all year long. Swain Lane is paved up to the property. The driveway is well-packed gravel for a short distance. The two story barn, as well as the Hemlock House are not accessible to guests.

Other things to note

You may occasionally see the neighbors driving down the road. They are very nice people.

Please do not leave food outside or in your car, as there are wild animals who may be attracted to it. Please do not feed the goldfish or frogs in the fish ponds.
