I had the pleasure of staying at the Gnomes Yome in May of 2022 and was anxious to return for a second visit in October. It was an epic experience. The ride there on the blue ridge parkway is amazing and even the dirt road is exciting as it gives you a sense of adventure and freedom. But honestly there is no feeling that can match waking up to the birds chirping and the tree tops all around you with the gorgeous view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The peace and tranquility of the surroundings just wisked away all of my usual day-to-day worries. I don’t have a lot of experience camping but I will say I had no trouble acclimating to a stay in the gnomes yome for the weekend. Evan has thought of everything you would need for your stay. I brought wine thinking I would be drinking out of plastic disposable cups but true to the vision of Outercamp there were glasses provided for wine so instead I enjoyed a glass on the deck while overlooking a gorgeous moonlit view of Dobson Knob framed by the lustrous native trees. It was so breathtaking I couldn’t help but FaceTiming(cell service is great) family members to experience the view along with me. Evan was a such a gracious host. He also had great insight on hikes and sites nearby. Don’t miss out on hiking the nearby Linville Gorge
