Very cute and had all the amenities you could think of. Nicest outhouse I've ever been in and the cut trails were lovely. We were warm and comfortable. And the dog had room to roam.Only minor downside is the proximity to the highway. Not too loud, but you could always hear it in the background.

Charming yurt not far from a grocery store but totally secluded. Beautiful private hiking trails right outside the yurt door. Convenient propane heater, solar powered overhead light, bottled water, propane cooktop and a very comfortable futon. The outhouse was close by and very well kept. As a solo traveler, I felt comfortable due to the heavy duty door and deadbolt lock. I had a question and the owners quickly responded. I loved this place! The local relatives I was visiting thought it would make a great weekend getaway, just for fun, and I agree. Will definitely stay here next time I am in town.

We had an amazing visit! The place was everything we expected and more! The location felt very secluded even though it was right off the highway (which you could hear but wasn't an issue for us) they provided us with a heater that worked wonderfully to keep the place warm! They even had games for us to play.

Beautiful location with gorgeous trails to explore. The immediate campsite was well manicured. The Yurt and the outhouse were clean and organized with a plentiful variety of provided amenities. The Yurt itself was gorgeous and very cozy with the provided heater and propane fuel. 10/10 recommended!

Wonderful whimsical weekend stay. We felt like we'd landed at Hagrids Hut, surrounded by the forbidden forest. 10 out of 10 highly recommend for somw off grid shenanigans. Beautiful marked trails to explore through old wood growth and marshlands with wildlife galore.

Super cute Yurt with unique and special little touches throughout. You can really tell they adore this place by the way they take such great care maintaining it. Highly recommend for a weekend getaway, especially if you want to stay somewhere clean, close to town but very private!

Great stay in Jackson, MI

Delightful, budget-friendly stay in Jackson, Michigan. The property was private, but also conveniently located near town for a quick run to the store. Trails were nice. We also had unique morning visitors - Sandhill cranes! Host was accommodating and quick to respond to questions. Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed the serenity as well as the deer that was consistently outside the yurt. There was plenty of water and the whole "off the grid" was exceptionally soothing and calming. There were a lot of planes flying overhead, and the occasional on noxious motorcycle down the road, but it didn't bother us much as we rested in the peace that only nature can provide. We were very happy with our stay, and yes, the outhouse was exceptional, considering its purpose. We will be back.

Underrated Yurt Experience!

We were very happy with our choice of this yurt and a get away weekend into nature at this Yurt. The check in and out process was easy, they had everything available that you need within arms reach in the yurt! Even outside the yurt the firewood and wagon were super convenient. The land was beautiful and there was plenty of things to see! Would recommend!!

Wonderful escape

Spent the weekend here for a birthday and had the most magical time! The yurt was well built and beautifully decorated with a variety of board games to pass the time. We brought some camping stuff with us to fully utilize the outdoor experience and were lucky enough to enjoy several evenings around the fire watching the fireflies in the forest. Highly recommend as a modern step up from the average camping experience. Would love to come back another time and visit the nearby Ive’s Gardens owned by the same family running this listing!
