Peaceful retreat

The yurt is very comfortable and well-equipped. The setting is very peaceful. Port Perry is only 10 mins away, for buying food or other necessities. I only wish there were better hikes on the property. I wanted to go for an hour long hike, but the trails would lead me back to the yurt after only 20 minutes of walking.

Interior decor was not my taste with fake flowers and plants. I did like the battery string lights. More directions on how to use propane hot plate and pump water bottle were necessary.
