Stay With Us
Plan your visit to Mountain Light Sanctuary, bordered by two cascading creeks and ringed by the highest mountains in the eastern USA, It’s energy and ambiance are purely magical.
Select Your Accommodation
Hidden deep in a secluded mountain cove in the Pisgah National Forest, 35 minutes north of Asheville, Mountain Light Sanctuary is a mini Shangri-La nestled in the world of nature.
Gypsy Wagon
Tucked just beyond the lodge, the Gypsy Wagon is a whimsical haven for travelers who delight in simplicity. With its snug ¾ bed and a small pull-out for a child, it’s a perfect nook for one adventurer, a parent and child, or two lovers who don’t mind being wrapped close in the magic of the night.
$80/Night
Drumbledorf
A tiny temple on wheels, Drumbledorf — our Wizard Wagon — glows with gothic stained glass and hand-painted murals of the cosmos. On its porch you can watch the Sanctuary breathe as the mountain mists rise. Inside, a cozy full-size bed offers comfort for dreamers and stargazers alike.
$80/Night
The Treehouse
Half held by the earth, half cradled by the sky, our Treehouse is rustic elegance at its peak. Enter at ground level to a four-poster bed framed by glass walls that open to a deck wrapped around three trees, high above the creek. A ladder leads to a loft with two twin mattresses, where night whispers drift through the branches. Equipped with electricity, a heater, and a small fridge, this hideaway is beloved by those who want to dream among the leaves.
$100/Night
Zen Tao
The Zen Tao is a two story shelter nestled in one of our bamboo groves. Both levels are 8×10 open air rooms opening out on to a large 8×16 deck. The lower level features a full size bed and the upper level has two bunk beds. Both levels give you the feel of being in a tropical treehouse.
$100/Night
Frodos
Tucked into the earth beside the river, this underground stone cottage feels like a portal to another age. With thick stone walls, a sod roof, a slate floor, and a grand fireplace, Frodo’s could have easily been lifted from the Shire — all that’s missing is the round door. Inside, a double bed, a small table, and gothic stained-glass bring warmth to the intimate space.
$100/Night
Amitaba
Reached by a quiet boardwalk from the Haiku Terrace, Amitaba welcomes you into serenity. Modeled after a Japanese teahouse, this 14×16 retreat opens to the forest with stained glass windows, two walls of shimmering glass, and an open-air side where a gentle stream flows seasonally beneath the floorboards. A full-size canopied bed rests at the heart of the space, inviting dreams steeped in stillness and light. For added guests or children, a folding cot is available upon request.
$100/Night
Camping
For those who prefer to carry their own shelter, the Sanctuary offers limited spaces for tent camping. Wake to birdsong, the flow of the creek, bathe in starlight, and enjoy full access to the kitchens, bathhouses, and trails. Camping stays are limited to two weeks, with space for just a few tents at a time, ensuring peace and intimacy with the land.
