Staying in a yurt was so cool. It was cute and cozy- felt like luxury camping. I would definitely stay here again, but I would do at least two night, instead of one. Megan was so friendly and helpful with local recommendations, what a great host!

Unbelievable fairytale habitat for the off-gridder. Every detail of this property is so thoughtfully planned out from the outhouse door latch to the cords of firewood and firestarters. So cozy and comfortable you will never want to leave. The 1 mile trail is in the Sax-Zim bog national recreation area and is peppered with benches and bird feeders to feed your birding heart. Megan has a warm and welcoming personality and such a great energy that you will want to invite her for dinner just to hear more. I will absolutely come back

We only had one night but what a fun adventure! An ‘off grid’ yurt with all the mod-cons. Hostess communicated promptly and clearly. Good directions, easy to use technology and a fire already laid and ready for the weary travelers. We didn’t expect a shower, but it was available, fresh towels, interesting books to read if we desired, even binoculars available to catch some of the amazing wildlife, especially birds that live there in the area. ( Sax Zim Bog). Very clean and comfy. We hope we can return! Everyone should try it.

Wow! What an amazing experience! From start to finish, Megan and her family were so welcoming and kind. Megan was the perfect hostess with great communication and tips! The yurt and surrounding property are beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice! We had a phenomenal time and can’t stop talking about planning a fall and winter visit!

It’s was a great stay even in -6 degrees weather. It’s an off grid yurt on an amazing property. Came up for birding to get some rare species. Definitely check out the local bar and grill, some of the most friendliest people around.

I absolutely love this yurt! I have stayed here three times now, and it is truly my happy place. Love that they have added a new trail for walking right at the property. We heard barred owls, great horned owls, and wolves in the night. Such a cool experience. The hosts are super welcoming and kind. 100% recommend.
Stars!

So many wonderful things about our stay: the yurt itself (clever and comfy), our host (so helpful and friendly), and the local area (when they say birders are welcome, they mean it). We came up to spend the weekend for our 30th anniversary and added to our bird life list. Memorable, and very much worth a repeat stay. This yurt takes "glamping" to the next level, so if you've ever camped and loved it... we highly recommend!
