Brown Mountain Beach Resort's spirit of adventure is palpable across its 23-acre property in Lenoir, beckoning couples to embark on thrilling escapades. Enveloped by 49,000 acres of untamed wilderness, the resort boasts a mile-long stretch of Wilson Creek, a playground for water lovers. The Pisgah National Forest, a rugged and daring backdrop, runs parallel to the grounds, offering a myriad of opportunities for heart-pounding hikes along its twisting mountain trails. After a romantic evening in one of the resort's charming yurts or secluded cottages, there is a world of exploration and adventure waiting at every turn.

Mirroring the cottages, the yurts at the resort are a truly luxurious experience. The yurts — some as large as two stories — are a testament to comfort and style. These are not your typical primitive camping yurts. They are first-class, complete with electricity, AC/heat, a kitchenette stocked with all the dining essentials you could need, and bathrooms furnished with fresh linens and soaps. It's a perfect blend of adventure and indulgence.

The amenities are part of the resort's charm. During a stay, couples can enjoy the quiet life on their creekfront porch, catch up on reading in the provided hammock, or play board games stocked in each cottage rental. Some yurts and cottages come with a personal firepit — light it to create a romantic ambiance that evening after enjoying a tasty meal cooked on the grill before taking a romantic dip in the private creekfront hot tub. Not all accommodations have hot tubs, so be sure to reserve one that does. Don't forget to infuse astronomy into your vacation by packing a portable telescope or camera; stargazing is phenomenal in this area of North Carolina.
