The place was perfect to get off grid for a few days

The Yurt was perfect. The AC didn't seem to work but it was a nice trip.

Wonderful Stay

The Yurt was just as advertised. Very clean with the felling of a luxury suite. The privacy was incredible. The A/C really was awesome as we stayed when it was hot out.

Peaceful stay

This is a great get a way spot that is tucked into a peaceful and scenic location. There’s a little creek that runs by within a short walking distance. We really enjoyed the stay. The only reason I only gave 4 stars on the check in was that it wasn’t ready when we got there due to the previous occupants not leaving when they were supposed to and that we didn’t know which one we were supposed to go to. There was nothing telling us which spot was our spot. Also, I would highly recommend to the owner to install a hydrant for fresh water. It’s fairly inexpensive and would be a great asset.

Great stay but poor hospitality

We enjoyed our two night stay, everything was mostly great except a few minor things - there was no lantern on the table as was written in the check-in, there were no sheets for the air mattress and it had a slow leak and deflated significantly overnight, and the extra blankets had not been washed before we arrived and no one had swept under the beds or couch so there were some water bottles from the previous campers. We did not have cell service so I couldn't contact the host but the issues were minor so we were not too troubled by it. When I got home, I have an email with a message from the host that I can't respond to because the site has updated and doesn't let me access my previous stay. When I read it I was taken aback that the host would say we left the place a mess, and use exclamation points to complain that WE hadn't cleaned up the water bottles from the previous campers... we also did not do the bed laundry and we used the dishes and coffeemaker in the yurt and left them dry but unwashed because there is no running water? We certainly did not leave a mess other than the dishes on the table that we could not clean. We did not leave any trash, but we also did not clean up old trash that was there when we arrived. We were also told that the air mattress would not inflate or deflate anymore but it was working (except for the leaking patch) when we left this morning. I would also have rather responded directly to the host but I am unable to due to the new vrbo update.

Jessica stopped us during her stay to say how much they loved the place, left a review in the book at yurt stating she had the best experience and her family loved the place and would be back. The yurt was cleaned from top to bottom before she checked in, everything wiped down, pulled out, vacuumed and mopped. All the blankets were also cleaned. There was an air mattress with sheets in the yurt yet she claims there wasn’t but she used them and got them dirty with food and juice. Jessica was told she left the place a mess with dirty dishes, food garbage and toys on tables & floor with empty water bottles under the couch and bed. She got food on multiple blankets and didn’t follow the rules. Jessica stated she had the best experience until we asked her about not following the rules, cleaning & picking up after her and her kids which she let do whatever they wanted , the food on all the tables, bed clothes, floor and tv shows this. Jessica never contacted us about any issues in the 2 days she was here. She was told when she booked, the day she checked in, the book on table in the yurt and the rules and info on here, and when she spoke to us after arriving, we told her we live on the property up the drive, our number, what’s expected, cleaning before you leave and if there’s any issues how to contact us. She claims she shouldn’t be expected to clean because there’s no running water. We explained there is a broom, cleaning supplies, paper towels and 2 five gallon bottles of water they could use to clean after their stay and she refused to do so. Instead she went from having a great experience and stay to the place was not clean to retaliate against us for calling her out for not following the rules. She had to be told to stop contacting us after we asked because she refused to stop sending messages harassing us because we she was mad about being asked why they didn’t follow the rules. Her entire review is a lie. She even tried to blame the mess she left in the yurt, on someone coming in after she left because it was left unlocked when she left. We pointed out we have cameras and no one else was on the property when she left but us because we live here. That’s when she proceeded to claim the place was trashed when she arrived but yet she never contacted us or VRBO. She saw us on the property every day, waved at us and even stopped us telling us they loved the place and never said anything about what she is lying about in her review. We had to contact VRBO to stop the messages she was sending because she wouldn’t stop harassing us making stuff up after we asked about the mess. She claimed she was upset because they had such a great stay and loved the place. That all changed when she was being held accountable for her mess, she began acting like a child blowing our phone up.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the property from day one. The history, the old farmhouse, main house and the views were everything we wanted. We knew from day one we wanted to share the views and property with others by building yurts for glamping.

What makes this property unique

The views are stunning from the wrap around deck. Sit around the campfire and take in all the sights and sounds the National Forest has to offer. The widlife and Barney Creek running thru the property
