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.

Idyllic location to disappear from the busy world and just enjoy a weekend of peace and quiet. Easy access to trails while maintaining a feeling of separation from society. Fantastic hosts.

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!

What an amazing place to stay! The Yurt is so charming and cozy, and has everything to make your stay perfect. The host, Megan, is a dream and provides all of the extras to make you feel at home. The Yurt was spotless and the bed was so comfortable. I felt like I was at the Yurt Ritz! It was magical listening to the night sounds - owls hooting, coyotes singing, and seeing a sky full of stars. I also saw wild turkeys and deer in the morning. I can’t wait to go back to this little retreat in the enchanted forest!

Great Winter Getaway
We had a wonderful time at the yurt. The wood stove is so cozy & we loved the quiet mornings with the birds at the feeders. It’s also close to Sax Zim Bog for exploring winter boardwalk trails. I would recommend this stay!

Great Stay!
We had an amazing stay in the cozy yurt in a peaceful, wooded bog area. Megan is a great host and ensured our comfort with thoughtful touches. The beautifully designed yurt felt like home, and waking up to birds chirping in the serene surroundings was unforgettable. We left rejuvenated and highly recommend this hidden gem for a relaxing, nature-filled getaway.
