About this property
Yurting on the Canoochee River Yurt
Yurting on the Canoochee River! This is an experience that you will remember forever. This specialized 20' ft round tent is located on the Canoochee River in Claxton, Ga. Your friends will say," You are staying in a what???!" This is overlooking the Canoochee River. It will has a queen size bed, small kitchen , and living room.
Great place for a honeymoon or just a romantic get away.
We have now added a shower and a larger hot water heater.
Come and enjoy the first yurt on the Canoochee River! Great for honeymooners or a cozy couple!
Note: Presently, winter months are not available to be booked. The past two winters have had excessive flooding. Host will make these weeks available two weeks at a time as the water level is adequate for guest.
The linens will be stocked according to the number of guest you have indicated will be coming with you.
The access roads are not "county maintained". You will travel down 1.5 miles of dirt roads. However, my compact car handles it well. You will find it worth the bumpy ride!
Your vehicle will be dusty on a dry day and muddy on a rainy day. You will not escape with a clean vehicle.
Kayaks are available for your enjoyment.
Located right on the banks of the Canoochee River! Within 10 minutes is the small town of Claxton, GA. It has all the convivences of any local small town. Many fast food restaurants, moderate grocery store, and many gas stations, as well as, dollar stores.
Claxton, GA is the home of the World Famous Fruit Cake.
There are two other cabins on the property. However, the distance and woods provide a great deal of privacy.
There is no public transportation. You will have to travel a little less than 2 miles on dirt roads to get to the property.
Due to the inability to control weather conditions. The river does rise out of its banks about 3 times a year. The exact time of this happening is unpredictable. When the river ascends out of its bank, no vehicles can get to the yurt. If this occurs prior or during your stay, you will receive a refund of the days you were not able to spend at the yurt. I will contact you as soon as it is apparent that the river my rise out of its banks.
Also, on the flip side, the river can be too low to enjoy the use of the kayaks. There will be no refund if this is the case. Usually the fishing is great at this time!
No pets
No smoking inside
No target shooting
