Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Situated only 3 miles from downtown Fayetteville and within 15 min of trails, rivers, and climbing, this idyllic space makes you feel like you are in your own little ecotopia. The yurt is nestled on 8 acres surrounded by gardens and the forest. It is built eco-friendly complete with a composting toilet which is incredibly easy to use. Large windows are situated to allow natural sunlight and cross breezes and the dome in the center of the roof lets you sleep under the stars at night.

The space
The yurt feels like it is a lot bigger than it is. It sleeps two in the queen bed in the loft above and two in the full sized pull out sofa. Perfect for a couple, small family or a couple close friends. Note that the bathroom only has a curtain for privacy. There is another secluded outdoor, covered composting toilet overlooking the forest! Altogether, there is a lot of room outside to relax and play as well as a bonfire pit (must provide your own wood.)

We just got a new grill for the back deck. Please keep the grill away from the yurt and be sure to clean it after your use.

A new mini-split was installed in 2021, so air conditioning and heating is now available for year round comfort. 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.

In May of 2022 the driveway was freshly paved. We have been looking forward to this moment for 16 years. Now that we own the 8 acres we have a private drive and a fresh driveway!

The WiFi is strong 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 quick.***

Guest access
You will have the whole yurt and grounds to yourselves, however we recently bought the 6 acres below and are in the process of cleaning them up so you may hear us going up and down the driveway at times 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.

Co-Vid Cleaning updates:
On the host’s part:
Stringent cleaning guidelines will be followed. Luckily this small space is easy to clean. All surfaces regularly touched by guests will be wiped down with disinfecting cleaner.

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 charger 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.

Neighborhood highlights

The yurt sits down a windy country road. Just 3 miles away is a Kroger, Walmart and everything else you could need but you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere.
