Totally secluded Yurt surrounded by waterfalls, brooks, cliffs and forest

Totally secluded surrounded by waterfalls, brooks, cliffs and forest
This 30’ diameter Yurt is a stunning space to rejuvenate and be in nature.
You will hear the sound of the waterfall across, and take long walks on the 120 acre property.
Vibrant nature with turkey and deer visitors, hummingbirds and hawks, foxes and eagles, you will be in good company!
The Yurt sleeps 4, one queen size bed and 2 twin size bed plus sofa pull outs, that are twins .
It is one open space with a large circular skylight in the center of the ceiling that floods the space with light and 4 glass windows, the bathroom is a room inside the yurt with a shower, sink and toilet.
The Yurt has its own well and it located on 120 acres that you are welcome to hike.
The circular shape is very comforting, it makes you feel hugged.
The ceiling in the center is 14’ high.
Grill ,small fridge under counter, large toaster oven and 3 cooking plates, plus more induction cooking plates are hanging on the wall. You can use them anywhere , coffee maker, tea water heater, spices, cookware, silverware, table ware… grill, all you could possibly need is available to you.
This Yurt is a tent-like circular structure built out of wood beams and wall lattice covered with fabric and isolation, the floor is engineered wood, and there are 5 wall panels that are built out of wood for windows and entrance door. Please don’t book this place if you are afraid of animals. you are in nature and there are many little insects, spiders, ants and mice, and rarely but possible a black snake ( not poisonous and shy)…., it’s natural you’re in a tent.There are deer turkey, foxes and eagles ...
So if You have an issue with mice spiders ants and so on I will not give you a refund, but I’m happy to help just reach out to me. thank you for understanding.
Snow and yurt : the yurt heats up very nice
I have the driveway snowplowed, but that does not mean it's always safe.
Be prepared if there is a snowstorm or ice storm that you have to park your car at the main rd and walk down the driveway, its about a 5 min walk. if you decide to drive down anyway and get stuck, it will cost about $350 to get you out.
There is a medicine wheel out in front of the lawn and a fire pit.
you are close to New Paltz and Kingston 10 to 15 min, Woodstock 30min Rhinebeck 30 min. The best of both worlds
Please know that the water fall and all the water seen on the pictures have more or less water depending on season, if there is a drought there will be no water in the streams. Please collect your wood for the fire pit in the Forrest or bring it , Because of the intense woodburning amount I cannot longer provide the outside which I do provide it would bricks for the wood burning oven inside. Please only use the inside and not for the outside fire pit thank you
I just put in a washer and dryer !
Please no camping no parties no large gatherings thank you very much

Pleasantly surprised

We are seniors who are used to "pack in- pack out" camping, but we needed to try something different. We were pleasantly surprised that we were provided with the feeling of the great outdoors with wonderfully unexpected amenities! It was a wonderful, relaxing, spiritual Valentine's weekend.

Great Nature Getaway

My wife and I absolutely loved staying at this yurt. The lodging had all the modern amenities and was spotless upon arrival. Was very close to some good hiking (including some nice wild trails at your doorstep) and also an easy drive to Kingston. Would highly recommend.

Magical stay in a beautiful place!

Visited here in March with our two kids and dog and it was absolutely perfect. The property is huge and no other house in sight. We hiked up the waterfall and splashed around, and our dog got to be a “wild dog” for a day :). The yurt itself was very warm even though it was chilly outside - very well stocked and clean. You’re 15-20 mins away from towns if you decide you want to eat out or shop, but still feel like you’re totally secluded. Would definitely love to return!!

My Son’s Birthday Weekend

My son and I had an amazing birthday weekend at the Yurt. The seclusion was exactly what we were looking for, offering the perfect escape from the city. The surroundings were peaceful and allowed us to fully enjoy nature. The Yurt itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped for our needs. Gisela, the owner, was wonderful to communicate with—she was always responsive, friendly, and helpful both over the phone and through messages. We truly felt taken care of. I highly recommend this Yurt for anyone looking to unwind in a beautiful, private setting.

Amazing place to stay

This property was absolutely beautiful. The grounds are well kept and the yurt itself was very clean. It was such a relaxing place to be and the grounds provide a great space to explore. I stayed here with two friends for our anual girls trip and we were very impressed! Our host was easy to get in touch with and provided plenty of information ahead of time. This place was a 10/10 for our weekend stay.

Very remote and peaceful Yurt. The whole space is beautiful, access to mini hikes. Try to book longer than a few nights, once you get comfy you won't want to leave so take advantage.

Secluded getaway

Unique , artsy, comfortable, scenic, secluded! The host makes your stay inviting with all the comforts of home . The bathroom is clean and modern , not what you’d expect in a tent ! There are multi outdoor seating options, bbq , fire pit, with a waterfall in view if the front door ! Gisela ( the host) is an artist, architect ( designed the Yert )& poet ( “just like that “ a poetry book she wrote is there for sale ). Lovely experience, definitely recommend !

A great and unique getaway not far from home

A wonderful and fun experience in a secluded and beautiful spot! We brought our dog who loved exploring the property, laying in the sun on the porch, and exploring trails and towns nearby. The yurt was comfortable, clean, and very well equipped. Thanks to the owner for keeping in touch throughout the weekend.

Absolutely the BEST WEEKEND EVER!

We stayed at the yurt for a getaway weekend. From the moment you pull up, you are in awe of the property! It was covered in snow and just absolutely beautiful. The yurt itself was impeccable and every special touch was taken to make the property welcoming, comfortable, and special. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could have possible needed as well as instruction manuals. The beds were so comfortable and tons of extra blankets were included so that you were cozy and warm. The fireplace made the whole experience so special. We will ABSOLUTELY be coming back to the property! Thank you Gisela for an amazing weekend!
