About this property

Rufus III Yurt on the river

A cozy yurt nestled in the woods alongside the Shepherds river. A year round elevated off the grid camping experience. Sit by the woodstove in our comfy leather chair. Enjoy a good night sleep on the full size memory foam bed. The kitchen area has everything you need to cook a yummy breakfast. Listen to the river while sitting by the firepit.

This was a magical place to stay. Very cozy, clean, and everything you needed and more was provided. Host was even thoughtful enough to bring us hunting orange to wear so we could walk the trails. Will definitely be back!!

This lovely, incredibly comfortable yurt is in the most beautiful setting along a beautiful river and in a peaceful forest. The wood stove kept everything warm and cozy, and it was wonderful to be "off the grid"! We attended a great concert at the Stone Mountain Arts Center (just 3 miles away), and enjoyed a peaceful day of reading, walking, and resting the rest of our time there. Our hosts were fantastic and responsive. We'd love to come back!

Beautiful setting on the Saco River, comfortable accommodations. There was no dry wood or any kindling. We got some down the road a bit. Other than that, just as advertised. Road noise was audible but not heavy. We would stay here again.

About the host

Host profile image

My husband bought a house and moved to Brownfield in 2017. We met and were married in October of that same year. He had already owned the property where now we have our yurts. It was his dream to build yurts and rent them. Finally in the fall of 2021 we put up our first yurt! We now have three on the property. We love being hosts so we can share our yurts and let people have a fun camping experience!
