The space
Welcome to the Yurt!
Enjoy the property, including the back deck, fire pit, & surrounding gardens.
There is a BBQ grill for the back deck. Please keep the grill away from the yurt and be sure to clean it after your use.
Air conditioning and heating is now available for year round comfort from the mini-split, remote control operated. The fireplace it is not able to be used due to insurance regulations. The dome, 2 windows and a sliding glass door open to allow great ventilation.
The WiFi is strong enough to power all your devices. Please note there is no TV; however, you can stream on your devices if you desire. Please enjoy the chairs on the back porch for forest watching!
Things to note:
While we do have a cast iron tub the iron is cold and the hot water tank is only 40 gallons, so if you take a bath it is not possible to fill the tub all the way up. I used to heat a pot of water on the stove to add when I took a bath!
Be aware that since the driveway is steep, if we get snow, you may want to park at the top of the hill and walk down. However, it is rare that we get a snow that heavy and it is a south facing drive so a light dusting melts quickly.***
Guest access
You will have the whole yurt and grounds to yourselves; however, the 6 acres below is being developed and we will be working down there frequently and using the driveway, as both pieces of property share access. Otherwise, no one else shares this driveway.
Other things to note
The toilets are composting toilets. One is located inside the yurt, and there is one attached to the back of the little red shed outside. Very easy to use and do not have an odor. Be sure to use ample peat moss! They are cleaned with soap and water between uses, sprayed with disinfectant, and dried completely. Believe me, it’s cleaner than a normal toilet in the long run.
Please leave the yurt clean and close to how you found it. Clean all dishes well and do not move furniture please except to pull out the sofa and expand the table.
PLEASE NO BACON! I know this is a silly request but the bacon smell and grease has lasted for days before and is really hard to get the smell out and the grease up.
As far as smells, no smoking is allowed at all in the yurt or near the open doors. If we have to do excessive cleaning of curtains, throw pillows etc due to bacon or smoke you will be charged an extra $500 deep cleaning fee.
There is an orange hamper for you to put all your used towels and linens in. Please strip the bed of the sheets before you leave.
