Great ride from Katy Trail thru countryside and the town of Holt’s Summit to the yurt. Yurt is very comfortable, private, and well equipped. Hideaway in the woods.
One of the most fun places we’ve stayed. Tucked in the woods with the birds and crickets. Off the beaten path but only 20 minutes to Jeff City. Our first stay in a yurt. We loved it!!
Mike was a great host. It was peaceful and relaxing. The yurt is unique, quaint, and had everyhring we needed to enjoy our stay. We had a great time enjoying the nature and wildlife.

The yurt was a unique experience and the host communicated very well. The place was clean and comfortable. I would recommend to include in the description that to use under restroom, you have to leave the yurt to use the composting toilet. It is a bit inconvenient during the night.
We have wanted to stay in a yurt for awhile and couldn’t be happier. Bill is great and the yurt was just as he said it would be. We would recommend this stay for anyone looking to relax in the nature.
This yurt was absolutely PERFECT for our honeymoon! My husband and I stayed here for 2 days and 3 nights, and not only was it absolutely gorgeous and secluded, Bill is so hands on and helpful, his kindness made this experience infinitely better. We can’t wait to plan our return trip!
This was a neat place to stay. The place is very well thought-out. All the little details are taken care of. We enjoyed our time in the yurt in the forest. Would stay here again.
Very cool and interesting place. Everything you need for a cozy stay.

Really unique experience. Loved the decor and sounds of nature! Would definitely visit again!
We had such a cozy and memorable stay! What was planned as a rest stop between 2 family get-togethers became the highlight of our weekend!
The yurt was so warm, welcoming, and well-appointed! The personal touches and care Bill put into the details make it stand out beyond the unique structure. We can’t wait to come back when we can stay even longer!
Cute and eclectic. The only thing we had to complain about was, it was freezing in there with only a small space heater to warm us in November… it was cold!!
Absolutely love the yurt and the surrounding property! Bill was an excellent host and I made good friends with the Yurt cat that roams the outside of the property. Took a nice stroll around the property while sipping on some excellent coffee. Ran into Bill during my stroll and had a very pleasant conversation! If you’re looking for a peaceful and positive energy space to rest your weary soul, this is the place for you!!
Had a blast At the yurt Visited the state penitentiary ghost tour and hung out at the yurt before and after. Was fun. Glad it didnt get any colder cause it was chilly at night
We stayed only 1 night, and the yurt was charming, and clean and everything was as advertised.
The deck was great-- very relaxing to sit amongst the trees.
Location was perfect for a visit the Elder Blossom View winery in New Bloomfield--a fun place, open only on weekend evenings, for music and elderberry drinks and products.
Hope to come back and visit again soon!
