Appalachian Mountains: soggiorni in iurte

I needed a little break from my every day Vermont life. This was the perfect spot to get away from everything, but still not be far from home. I would definitely go back! Thank you so much!

My first yurt! Thoughtfully designed and has the perfect little forest around it, complete with a bubbling fountain that sounds wonderful and relaxing. One of my favorite places I’ve stayed. Convenient to everything I needed, peaceful and serene environment, all the amenities were as described, and Ellen is a beautiful soul. So glad we stayed here. We will be back!

The yurt was great! Right by the water, close to breweries and a meadery (!), and a great setup for a campfire.

We went for a weekend getaway. The experience was what we expected it to be. It was surrounded by the woods, we got to light our own fire in the pit, roasted a few things. However, due to light rains had to wrap it up a little early (can't do anything about it), still thoroughly enjoyed it. The kitchen is equipped to prepare some basic stuff, and an outdoor BBQ for some heavy cooking (if weather permits). We were welcomed by the hosts and their two cute dogs. Expect that there will be other dogs around, as this is a pet friendly place. We made our own fire in the fire pit and room heater, there was plenty of wood, and tools to prepare kindling. We didn't need the room heater in fall season. My only feedback would be for washroom. Sometimes the smell can creep in the yurt if the flap in the toilet doesn't close correctly. Overall I would highly recommend the place, it was as it is put in the description.

Ed and Rick were thoughtful and caring hosts who paid attention to every detail. The yurt was magical. Building a campfire and walking with the goats felt purposeful and calming.. We found our experience to be relaxing and rejuvenating and renewing to the soul. "The earth does not belong to us; we belong to the earth". "Time spent amongst trees is never wasted time". "A walk in nature walks the soul back home".

Great stay with my son and close to Loon for our ski trip. The yurt was warm and comfortable as always. Peaceful stay and Hannah welcoming as always

Another amazing Yurt stay! Enjoyed the fire pit and checked out the hiking trail. Beautiful weekend! Would recommend to family and friends!

This was by far our best experience. The Yurt, the whole homestead, was just incredible. So peaceful and rejuvenating. Already planing our next trip up.

Fran was an exceptional host, and the yurt was such a fun way to ring in the New Year. I won't mince words: it was chilly, but the buddy heater was a welcome amenity, and the bed was beyond comfy and piled high with blankets. The bathhouse 250 steps away was terrific, but by far and away my favorite perk was the en suite--the composting toilet around the corner on the deck, something I didn't know about until I arrived! Fran thinks of everything, and, given I was starving on arrival, the freshly baked bread was such a welcome treat. If you're a beer drinker, don't miss Blue Mountain Barrel House & Smokin' Barrel Restaurant. Thank you, Fran!

If you are looking for a cozy getaway to the woods that keeps you close to both cities and beautiful wild areas, this is it. The walk back to the yurt is private and beautiful -- between the fall foliage, the little mushrooms growing along the path, and all the chipmunks and squirrels there to greet you, it's something out of a storybook. The place is lit up well at night, with very cozy lighting inside as well! The woodstove was enough to keep me warm, even as a person now accustomed to Florida weather, and there were SO MANY blankets made available just in case. It was so lovely to lay in bed at night and watch the stars through the top of the yurt and listen to the acorns fall and roll down the sides - I've never slept more deeply at an Airbnb. The bathroom is outside, but the motion lights at night made it easy to go about my business. If you're a camper, it will feel like a luxurious little setup! I couldn't recommend it enough. Such a wonderful place to take a breather!

Jill was an amazing host! She communicated perfectly about everything from the property to the local attractions, restaurants and attractions! My husband was the guest, away to fish and enjoy the water! He said the surrounding and atmosphere were perfect for anyone wanting to be submersed in nature! He will most definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay at the Yurt , enjoyed the trails around and the outdoors! Great place to come for a weekend and relax.

Upon arrival to the Yurt, Jason came outside from his house, welcomed me, and told me about his farm. He warmed up the Yurt before I got there so I wouldn't be cold when I walked in. I had a very peaceful stay and Jason even told me when his farm shop was open so that I could peruse their wares. The drive to Deep Creek and the srounding parks was no bad and the sound of the stream at night were very nice. I highly recommend and would stay here again. Warning: His friendly dogs will greet you as you get out of your car, so if you don't like dogs then I'm sure Jason would keep them in when you arrive. Advisory: Jason's Highland Cows are the cutest. You will want to pet them and the dark brown one will want to you pet him. If you only like to see them from afar, don't worry, they are behind a fense. P.S. This place did not smell too much like a farm at all!

the most perfect place to stay for a lil getaway! clean & private but felt very safe. host was so helpful and sent us a ton of recommendations for places to eat and things to do! 10/10 would recommend and stay again!

We had a lovely time at Helenna’s yurt! Our kids loved sleeping in the loft and the goats were a fun treat. The space was cozy and beautiful.

Elisa and her family are super welcoming, they give you space, but also check in with you along the way to ensure your having a nice stay. lots of friendly animals around the farm, but they are a working farm so you need to be respectful. The grounds have lots of trails, nature beauty and a newly added pond that is CRYSTAL clear, and has a peaceful vibe. The owners have been working hard adding new additions like the new spa bathrooms that have 2 flushing toleits and 2 hot water indoor showers for those looking for less "roughing it" vibes. the spa area also has a new infrared sauna, 2 hot tubs, 2 cedar saunas and a lounge space. love that they kept the ruins of the building to make the spa it's own enclosed nook of peace and calm. Overall a wonderful experience. I had visited the farm back in 2020 and 2022, and it is so great to see how it's grown and changed. The yurts are also well kept, spacious and clean. everything you need is there, we just bring camping dishes and such. LOVED ❤

Great stay and experience. Peaceful and secluded property. Tucked in woods close to Lake Superior and Marquette. We enjoyed the Yurt, sauna, and deck. It was comfortable and had character with good hosts.

Had a wonderful time at the yurt. Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Great host that checked in and swapped propane tank for heater before I noticed it was getting low. Book this place.

Arrived late and only got to spend enough time in the yurt to sleep but hope to be back and enjoy it during daylight hours! It’s in a very rural area right on the seaside. The only downside is that there were two small lights, so next time we’ll be sure to bring head lamps!

The yurt camp was such a fun and unique stay. I wish I had booked it for several more days. The solitude was refreshing and we loved having the river right there next to our camp. My Chevy Trax w AWD made it back there with no problem and it was easy to find.

What an amazing stay! Angela was amazing and she left instructions for everything which was super helpful! We loved our yurt stay!!!

This was our first time in a yurt, and it was fantastic! Just the structure of the yurt itself was amazing to look at. The birch supports were beautiful and interesting. The beds were comfortable, the wood stove easy to use, and it kept us quite warm in 30-degree temperatures. Everything about the site was easy. The kitchen was very well stocked, and the appliances worked well. We had a wonderfully comfortable stay. The place felt both spacious and cozy. Even the porta-potty was more pleasant than others we have used. There were little extras that enhanced the experience -- a rocking bench and comfortable chairs around the firepit, unlimited firewood, decorations in the yurt, whimsical hand-blown glasses, and a step above typical dinnerware. Jamie went out of his way to accommodate us when we misread the listing and did not have water. He was gracious about supplying us with 5-gallon jugs that saved our weekend. We highly recommend Wild Acres and will eagerly return!

We had a memorable stay at Loomis Lair and look forward to a longer return visit. Michael's thoughtful recommendations for local hikes, restaurants and an exceptional bakery significantly enhanced our visit to the region. I've already suggested this very special retreat to family and friends.

Very peaceful and cozy, especially in the winter with woodstove. Would stay again.
