One of the most fun places we’ve stayed. Tucked in the woods with the birds and crickets. Off the beaten path but only 20 minutes to Jeff City. Our first stay in a yurt. We loved it!!

Great ride from Katy Trail thru countryside and the town of Holt’s Summit to the yurt. Yurt is very comfortable, private, and well equipped. Hideaway in the woods.

The yurt was a unique experience and the host communicated very well. The place was clean and comfortable. I would recommend to include in the description that to use under restroom, you have to leave the yurt to use the composting toilet. It is a bit inconvenient during the night.

Loved It!

We have wanted to stay in a yurt for awhile and couldn’t be happier. Bill is great and the yurt was just as he said it would be. We would recommend this stay for anyone looking to relax in the nature.

Magic in the woods.

The Yurt was amazing. Everything you needed to be very comfortable and relaxed during the stay. You van spend an hours just looking at everything inside and out. The sound of rain and owls will pit you to sleep. Even my teenage kids put down the devices and had a blast. 10 out of 10. We will be coming back, bit for a longer stay. Thank you so much Bill for helping us create some amazing memories!

The most magical honeymoon

This yurt was absolutely PERFECT for our honeymoon! My husband and I stayed here for 2 days and 3 nights, and not only was it absolutely gorgeous and secluded, Bill is so hands on and helpful, his kindness made this experience infinitely better. We can’t wait to plan our return trip!

Short stop on our trip

Cute and eclectic. The only thing we had to complain about was, it was freezing in there with only a small space heater to warm us in November… it was cold!!

Amazing Magical Place

Absolutely love the yurt and the surrounding property! Bill was an excellent host and I made good friends with the Yurt cat that roams the outside of the property. Took a nice stroll around the property while sipping on some excellent coffee. Ran into Bill during my stroll and had a very pleasant conversation! If you’re looking for a peaceful and positive energy space to rest your weary soul, this is the place for you!!

Interesting Unique Experience

My first VRBO booking, booked for wife's birthday and to eat at nearby Claysville Store. Address took us right to owner's property driveway, signs posted The toilet is a vault, but it is uniquely decorated and clean. Take time to look at the decor and read all the notes left by prior guests. Fall would be nest time to visit.

The perfect getaway!

We had such a cozy and memorable stay! What was planned as a rest stop between 2 family get-togethers became the highlight of our weekend! The yurt was so warm, welcoming, and well-appointed! The personal touches and care Bill put into the details make it stand out beyond the unique structure. We can’t wait to come back when we can stay even longer!
