This property was perfect for my husband and our 19 year old son to explore the ADK. The Yurt was clean and stocked and a great location to explore the area. Great views that seemed different every morning. Close to town but you would never know. Doug, the host was easy to communicate with and responsive to inquiries. Would recommend this Yurt for anyone who wants to explore the area!

My husband and I thought the yurt was great. It is tucked back in the woods, but still close to stores and restaurants. It is a perfect location for exploring the ADK high peaks region. The yurt was very clean and cozy, with great views of the mountains and the stars at night. We would definitely stay again!

Cool spot for a week of hiking

The yurt was comfortable and interesting to stay in. It was ideally located for a week of day hikes in the high peaks wilderness.

Neat little place with great view and location!

The yurt is a nice place for a getaway in the Adirondacks! Property is very secluded and private, and has a great view! Close to town and near lots of hikes and attractions. Perfect if you want to go exploring the mountains, or head up to the near towns. Lots around to do and very pleased with the stay!

Serenity & Comfort

The yurt is spacious, filled with light and beautiful views of the majestic high peaks. We have been staying here for years as the simplicity of the setting and the yurt is so restorative. Doug is a wonderful and responsive host and has provided all the amenities needed to have a special getaway!

The perfect getaway!

My husband and I made the yurt our basecamp for our ADK adventure! It was in a perfect location, not too far from all the fun places to explore, but also not so close that we couldn’t feel “disconnected.” Be sure to hit the amazing trails, visit Lake Placid, and venture over to Burlington, VT if you stay. We are already hoping to make a trip back soon - we loved every minute of our vacation!

Fun experience to stay in yurt!

Good location in high peaks area, comfortable bed, very well cared for property with responsive owner. Only suggestion is if you want to watch tv at night take your favorite DVDs or be sure to have your logins for netflix etc. Owner did a great job of providing info//maps for local hiking areas. Two worn out senior citizens and senior canines had a very good time!

Perfect

This is my 2nd time staying here and as the first, its perfect. You cant beat the views and the setting itself. The bed in back bedroom is ridiculously comfortable and I got some great sleep! The kitchen has everything you may need, as with the bathroom. Communicating with Doug was easy and he was gracious with the short notice. 12/10 would stay here again.

Summer vacation for Seniors

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful Yurt. We are retired people and enjoyed this new amazing experience.secluded location in the middle of Adirondacks. There are tons of trails to choose from. The host, Doug, was very responsive. The instructions abut the yurt were very clear and well communicated.

A great spot

We had stayed in Doug’s yurt 6 years ago and now had another opportunity. We were pleased the first time and everything was very much the same now. It’s a unique experience in a beautiful spot — feeling very isolated but still conveniently close to services. We would come back again anytime. Clean, well equipped and everything in good condition. Highly recommended.

YURT is a four letter word...lol !!

When we arrived we weren't inclined to like the yurt very much at all because it was stiflingly H-O-T inside. We opened every window, rolled up the plastic covers, turned on the fan, opened the doors...Whew...now I'm not just hot I'm exhausted too! The roof dome did not appear to be open, so we diagnosed this as the BIG problem but had difficulty discovering how to open it or figuring out IF it WAS open or not. We called our host but no pickup or response until 17 hours later. By then, we had figured it out, as eventually we came across a notice left in a pile of papers and leaflets that weren't apparent on arrival that told us the dome was open. Sundown brought more tolerable temps and the overnight hours were downright cool-ish--HOORAH! It is an interesting but definitely not a totally delightful structure for us, especially with the mid-80s indoor temperature in the daytime.. Think tent stretched over a wood frame. The decor and ambiance are not modern, and I would classify as "worn" and DIY grade with weathered upholstery and stained chairs and mattress pad. It's basically a "one-ply" establishment. We're fully aware of when to flush and how to save water by taking short showers(to conserve limited well water)...maybe we're extraordinary but, I don't think so. These things should be stated in the initial rental posting if the hosts are serious about their guests complying with them. Also, before booking one should know that the host requests that you bring your own bed linens. The town and the area are quaint. The views from the yurt are beautiful and the lot itself is really nice. We were able to explore the Lake Placid area and Lake Champlain.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 September 2021
In my email to all guests it clearly states that the dome is open and should stay that way. This guest did not read the email carefully. In the property description is states that water needs to be conserved because the well is shallow. In the property amenities it shows that linens are not provided. I appreciate the feedback on worn items and they will be replaced this winter.
