This was our second time staying here. We love the quiet peaceful setting and the proximity of where we need to be. It’s warmAnd cozy and has everything you could need. I wanted to get you your favorite ice cream to leave but never got a chance. WillDo that next time we come up. Thank you

Our accommodations were clean, well furnished and cozy. The owner was very nice and willing to help us with anything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay and wished we could stayed longer.
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.
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!!
Mike was a great host. It was peaceful and relaxing. The yurt is unique, quaint, and had everyhring we needed to enjoy our stay. We had a great time enjoying the nature and wildlife.
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.
We took the short hike down to the creek, enjoyed nature and the cozy cute yurt!!

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.
This was a neat place to stay. The place is very well thought-out. All the little details are taken care of. We enjoyed our time in the yurt in the forest. Would stay here again.
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!
We loved the beautiful peaceful setting and the cozy homey yurt. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to get away.
