Thank you so much for the kind words and for giving the yurt life a try! I'm thrilled you found it clean and cozy—and extra bonus points for calling the experience “awesome” (that’s basically a gold star in yurt-speak). 🌟 You picked a great spot—being close to all those gorgeous West Virginia parks means you get your adventure and your comfy retreat. Win-win! Next time you’re in need of a getaway that’s just a little offbeat (in the best way), I’d love to have you back. Maybe we can turn that 4-star visit into a full-blown 5-star yurtfest! Safe travels until then—and keep chasing those mountain views. 🏕️✨

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m glad to hear the cabin felt cozy, clean, and welcoming during your stay. There’s something special about relaxing in the hot tub while the snow comes down around you, and I’m glad you were able to enjoy that winter moment. You’re always welcome back whenever you’re ready for another peaceful getaway. I’d be glad to host you again and help make your next stay just as relaxing and memorable.

Thank you for sharing such a great review. I’m glad you found the campground beautiful and the yurt spotless—those two details are always at the top of my checklist, so it’s wonderful to hear they stood out during your stay. I’m also glad the fully stocked kitchen, the hot tub, and the pellet stove helped make your getaway feel complete. Those comforts are meant to take the stress out of travel and give you space to relax the moment you walk through the door. Whenever you’re ready for another peaceful escape, you’ll always be welcome back. I’d be glad to host you again and help make your next stay just as enjoyable.

Ahhh, this review made my day! 🙌 I’m so glad you had an awesome time in the yurt — clean, comfy, and surrounded by peace and quiet... that’s the dream, right? 😊 It was such a pleasure hosting you, and I’m thrilled the tips on things to do and eat came in handy (because let’s be honest, food adventures are half the fun 🍕🌲). The campground will be just as cozy and chill the next time you're ready for another escape — maybe even better, if that's possible 😉 Don’t be a stranger — I’d absolutely love to host you again anytime! 💫

Thank you so much for the kind words—and YES to yurt love! You two were a dream to host, and I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay (and that the hot tub delivered that perfect “ahhh” moment). We had fun being your behind-the-scenes getaway guides, and we’ll have more dining gems and cozy vibes ready for your next visit. The yurt will be fluffed, the tub will be bubbling, and the welcome mat will be out waiting for you. Come back anytime—your home-away-from-home (with extra charm and a hot tub) will be here when you’re ready for round two!

Quiet little getaway

It was a cute and quiet getaway. Most of the town is closed early in the week, so the campground was very quiet. We stayed Mon to Thurs. and it was a perfect peaceful visit. Exactly what we wanted. Nice walk along the tracks, did some hiking and enjoyed the beautiful area around us. They were super helpful with things to do in the area. The yurt was clean and everything we needed. We enjoyed our time there.

The yurt was great. Perfect size for a couple getting away for a long weekend. The bed was very comfortable but it needs a little back board or headboard, so you can prop yourself up. The private hot tub was excellent, an added for a Yurt. The kitchen is small, but well equipped with a full size fridge. We had heavy rains and thunderstorms on and off the whole time we were there, but the rain coming down on the top of the yurt was very soothing and relaxing. Thanks for a great little place for a long weekend getaway.

Girls weekend

The Yurt was as clean as a yurt on the river could be. Only complaint I could have was it was cold when we got there but warmed up nicely once we figured out how to get the pellet stove lit. Other than that all was good! We would definitely come again.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 February 2023
thanks so much for your stay and sorry if the pellet stove was not on. It usually is but if we did not know your arrival time then sometimes its a waste if we lite it at 1 and you don't arrive until 10 pm then we waste a whole bag. Hopefully that makes sense. Let us know arrival time next time. Thanks again

Cozy Yurt with a great host

The yurt was cozy and exactly what I expected. The location was peaceful and close to a stream that i wish I went fishing on. The host was helpful and they followed through, they even put a bottle of champagne in there for me to surprise my partner. If you’re looking into a yurt or a cozy place for two. This is it!

Our stay was perfect. The pictures you see online are exactly what to expect. Our host was probably one of the best we have ever experienced. We were kept up to date about what weather to expect and given suggestions of local restaurants and experiences to check out. The yurt was perfect. The stay was nothing but relaxing. The hot tub was so clean and well maintained. I feel like we can’t say enough about just how great our stay was. 10/10 would 100% recommend.

LOVE!!

This was our first time staying in a Yurt and we absolutely loved it! The check-in was quick and easy, the yurt was well stocked and clean, the hot tub was very hot and clean. There is a window at the top which was awesome to watch lighting during a storm, but if you don’t want to wake up with the sun, then bring a sleep mask. We will definitely stay here again!
