We really needed a spot to get away for a few days, and this beautiful yurt really delivered! The wide open spaces, beautifully decorated interior, and comfy bed made our vacation relaxing and rejuvenating. My kids loved being able to roam about and look at all the animals. I’m pretty sure they were ready to start a farm of their own by the time we left! If we ever come back this way, we will definitely stay again!

What an enjoyable month we had! From the quietness of the yurt to farm life animals and the spacious outdoors. We loved every bit of it. Our dog loved it too. The yurt was quaint and exactly what we needed for our first stay while looking for our forever home. Communication was quick, neighbors are awesome. Stores and restaurants within 10-15mins. You won’t regret this yurt experience. Thank you, Kramers! Hope to see y’all again.

I was travelling with my two dogs and this was the perfect, fun place to spend a couple nights while visiting family. I wondered how warm the yurt would be at night, but the split unit kept it perfectly comfortable. If its available next time I go to visit this part of my family I will definitely go again!

Great location for a relaxing night under the stars.

Great property, friendly hosts, loved the goats and other animals. The squeeze between the fence and the tree entering the property was a little sketchy, glad we had a rental.

Perfect Hideaway

We loved staying on the property and in the yurt! Very clean and perfectly decorated for the experience. Equipped with everything needed for a “glamping” stay. Owners were very communicative and made check in and check out easy. Looking forward to staying at the Hive again!
