PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION IN FULL BEFORE BOOKING WITH US.

We have taken extensive efforts to make your stay as comfortable as possible. However, the Yurt is a “Glamping” (Glorified Camping) experience. As such, here are some considerations before you decide to book our Yurt:

1. The walkway from the parking area to the Yurt is approximately 150 yards long over a grassy path that can be wet, uneven, and in the winter covered with snow or ice. Wear appropriate footwear.
2. The Yurt is heated by a wood stove. You will need to build a fire and maintain it in the wood stove to keep warm in the winter months. We provide the tools, the wood, and the training for those who need it. If you are away from the Yurt all day, you will need to restart the fire to get the Yurt back to a comfortable temperature. There is a portable heater available for immediate heat.
3. Yurt guests exclusively have access to the outhouse and shower stall for all bathroom needs. We utilize a composting bag/toilet in the outhouse. Guests must follow the posted instructions related to its use.
4. The outhouse is NOT insulated. It can be cold in the winter. A portable heater is provided to take to the outhouse on especially cold days/nights.
5. The outdoor shower space is available for guest use during the warm months (approximately May through October). Shower water is provided by hose with shower spray nozzle and solar heated water bags for warmer water.
6. We DO NOT have hot running water at the yurt. There is an 18-gallon container over the sink for cleansing needs, washing dishes, etc. Guests may boil water in the kettle for hot water needs.
7. Guests are welcome to use all items in the kitchen. A scrub sponge and/or dish cleaning towel is provided for dishwashing, as needed.

If you proceed to book a stay, you can expect to have a unique lodging experience that will detach you from your routine and reconnect you to nature and those you are experiencing it with. Careful consideration has been taken to design and furnish the space to provide you with a comfortable, memorable experience. From the artistic pieces, cozy bed and lounge chairs, cast-iron wood stove, air conditioner, high-speed fan, and outdoor fire pit, to name a few.

Clean towels, linens, robes, and slippers (to keep) are provided (robes and slippers are provided during cold months only). There are extra blankets stored in the chest and round seats for those extra cold nights. The composting outhouse is just a few steps away from the door. It has a skylight and a solar lamp during nighttime hours.

The Yurt area is private, but you may encounter wildlife such as deer, foxes, bunnies, raccoons, or other wildlife. We haven’t been lucky enough to have a moose on our property, but they DO live in the area. Bear sightings are rare, but do not leave your food outside! FYI, the Yurt is a few hundred feet from a 2-lane highway, so you may hear some traffic sometimes, but it is not a heavily traveled road.

Cell carriers may be spotty. AT&T and T-Mobile work best. Wi-Fi is provided with speeds up to 750 Mbps. You may bring a laptop or other screened device to stream your favorite television shows with your own account.

COLD SEASON VISITORS
In your reservation request, please acknowledge that you have read and understood the three important points below:

The Yurt is a wonderful and cozy place to be in the cold season. That said, there are some unique aspects to staying in the yurt during winter that you should review and feel good about:

1. Making fire in a wood stove is an enjoyable feeling, AND, you must do it well to stay warm. If you have never worked with a wood stove before, plan on reading the detailed instructions we have left you. We would also highly recommend you come before dark rather than late at night.
2. There is a lovely outdoor shower space outside the yurt, next to the outhouse. It is useable anytime during the year; however, during the cold months it will likely be intolerable. During the warmer months of the year, solar shower bags are provided. Shampoo, Conditioner, Soap and Towels are provided.
3. The yurt is about 400 feet (a 2 minute flat walk) from your parking spot. The ground can get wet and snowy, but it is a relatively easy walk.


WHAT TO BRING
We provide all bedding, linens, pillows, robes, slippers (robes and slippers are provided during cold months only), and towels for the shower. We provide all of the essential BBQ/cooking supplies. There is a coffee maker provided.

We encourage you to bring appropriate clothing and footwear for the season you visit, including jackets, shoes, beach towels if you will be swimming in the summer, cozy layers for the cold months (the woodstove works well, however), and food.

Filtered drinking water, coffee, and tea are provided. If you are interested in streaming your favorite shows, we recommend bringing a screened device (i.e. laptop).

SUMMER VISITORS
We can provide suggestions in our area for great hikes, swimming holes, paddling spots, and the best ice cream stands. The yurt has a window A/C, and a high-velocity fan to keep you cooler during the hot summer months. It is recommended that you bring earplugs to block out the air conditioner noise.
