Stay at the yurt and relax in nature! The yurt is located on a 40 acre working farm with grazing cows, sheep and chickens. This peaceful space is completely secluded and private - tucked on a grassy knoll in a wooded area that over looks pasture.

The space
The space...
The yurt itself is 20 feet in diameter and is decorated with a simple but elegant style. It is furnished with a dining area, queen size bed, and comfortable pull out couch. We will provide bedding for the queen sized bed. We don’t provide bedding for the pull out couch. The yurt has windows for a cool cross breeze and a sky light dome that is perfect for star gazing at night.

We have a woodstove inside the yurt to use for heat in the cooler weather. We recommend that you are capable of making an indoor fire - or plan to dress warm and use extra bedding at night! We provide wood for the indoor fire.

The yurt is off the grid - no running water or full electricity. We have a small solar panel which provides limited energy - depending on the amount of sun, enough to power a lamp and charge cell phones. ***NOTE:on extra cloudy days there may be no electricity storage in the battery**

Indoor wood stove:
***if you plan to stay in the colder months you MUST be comfortable starting/maintaining a wood burning stove. Please only come in the warm months if you are not comfortable with a wood burning stove.
We do provide all wood for the indoor stove.
Please DO NOT cook inside the yurt - we want to avoid smells in the yurt and luring mice into the yurt.

Outside eating/cooking area...
We have an outdoor kitchen/bar that looks over the fields. In this outdoor kitchen we have a propane stove top (no oven) and a propane bbq grill and numerous seating and eating areas in a garden setting. We provide the propane.
We have a campfire area - we provide the first bin of firewood and any additional firewood is available for purchase by the honor system ($10 for a large bundle).

Other things to note
The yurt is off the grid - there is no electricity or running water. We have a small solar panel which provides a limited energy source. We have a porta-potty and use water from containers for cooking and cleaning. We recommend that you bring flashlights, lanterns or headlamps to get around outside and to find the porta-potty at night.

My work: Wedding Venue, Farm
Lives in South Sterling, Pennsylvania
Thanks for checking out our profile! The yurt is tucked away in a secluded area on our 40 acre farm. Our farm is a wedding venue but also a fully functioning farm - we have cows, lambs and chickens which you will see in the pastures on the drive through the farm to the yurt. We don't always get a chance to meet 'yurters' but we love sharing our special hide-away. We hope you enjoy!
