This website began as an online journal of our experiences of restoring our forever home – a 1940s cabin and a barn with sleeping quarters situated on 7.5 pristine mountain acres located between Hendersonville, NC near DuPont Forest and Brevard, NC. The website now features our affordable rental cabin, THE ACORN, and an online shop carrying handcrafted pearl jewelry, and more items as we have time to create them.
Come stay Yonderways, where the pace is relaxed, the distinct mountain air fills your lungs and soul, the summer frogs and fireflies perform nightly, and where serenity is restored on your private deck by a mountain stream.

And soon after moving there they began to import beautiful pearls. Yonderways' online shop features handmade pearl jewelry from Donna. Items will be limited and change frequently, so visit often.
