A unique and welcoming retreat that feels tucked away, yet close to everything Athens has to offer. The space Welcome to our beloved yurt retreat. Two conjoined yurts create this cozy and functional living space nestled in the woods just outside Athens, Ohio (about 10 minutes to town and campus). This is not a glamping tent. It’s a real yurt home infused with warmth, love, and thoughtful details, designed for people who want to slow down, reconnect, experience nature in a more intimate way. It is also a great space for anyone looking for an interesting stay while they visit Athens or OU related events. Inside you’ll find everything you need for comfort: a full kitchen, a proper bathroom with a shower, comfortable sleeping spaces, a soaking tub, and heat that keeps the yurt wonderfully toasty even in colder months. There is air conditioning available for summer months; however, the yurts run hot, so it isn't quite like air conditioning that is in a house. It’s simple and peaceful without giving up the essentials. Because this is a yurt, there are a few things to know: One of the most magical parts of staying in a yurt is the night sky. Through the domes you can see the stars and sometimes the moon depending on the moons location that night. It is a quiet, beautiful experience that is magical. Because the yurt has a dome and multiple windows, morning light comes in naturally and fully. The yurt brightens with the sunrise, and it is not a good match for guests who prefer to sleep in a very dark, silent room. If you enjoy waking up gently with the daylight, you’ll love it here. You will hear nature. Birds at sunrise, crickets at night, the wind through the trees, and sometimes our neighbor driving up the driveway or dogs barking in the distance. You may hear coyotes, too. You may encounter bugs. We keep things clean, but the yurts are located in the middle of the woods, and it's their home we are in. As we are nature oriented we do not spray any chemicals. All that being said the Asian Lady Bugs and stink bugs are usually around somewhere and there’s a good chance you will see some around. The walls are canvas. Sound travels. If you’re looking for a silent, insulated cabin experience, this may not be your match. If you love the organic quiet-and-noise of the woods and your surroundings, you’ll adore it. You will also hear weather. Rain on the yurt roof is cozy and beautiful, but it can be loud. If you love storms, it’s magical. During severe thunderstorms, the yurt remains safe, but the sound can be intense or scary for guests who are sensitive to thunderstorms. There is wi-fi, but there is no TV, by design. This is a space to unplug. You’ll find plenty of games, puzzles, cards, and cozy spots to read or unwind. Outside is a permaculture-inspired landscape, full of herbs, flowers, and food plants depending on the season. It’s a little wild, intentionally low-intervention, and full of life. This space is meant to be a refuge, a place to breathe deeper, be intentional, listen to the woods, and reconnect with yourself or your loved ones. We’ve poured care into every corner. If you’re looking for somewhere unique, earthy, peaceful, and full of heart, welcome. We’d love to host you. Who This Space Is Great For: 🌲 Nature lovers People who enjoy the sound of rain on canvas, waking up to birds, hearing the woods at night, and being surrounded by natural beauty. 🌿 Guests who appreciate rustic charm This is a functional, comfortable yurt — warm, well-equipped, and lovingly cared for — but still a yurt, not a luxury cabin. 💛 People who value inclusivity Guests who feel at home in spaces that reflect messages like love is love, science is real, and kindness matters. Who This Space Is Not Great For: ❌ Guests who need complete silence Yurts have canvas walls, and you will hear nature, weather, country sounds, and the outdoors around you. If sound sensitivity or expectations of silence are a concern, this may not be the right fit. ❌ People expecting a conventional house or cabin. This is a unique structure with its own quirks — nature sounds, occasional bugs, and the feel of canvas walls are part of the experience. ❌ Anyone uncomfortable with a gravel, downhill driveway. Especially in snow. We give tips for navigating it, but it’s still a country driveway. ❌ Guests who require full climate control The yurt stays warm and cozy, and you can adjust heaters as needed — but it won’t behave exactly like a fully insulated home. ❌ Those bothered by inclusive, progressive signage. There are small signs and artwork around the property reflecting our values. You don’t have to agree, but it should not bother you. ❌ People looking for high-tech environment There is Wi-Fi, but no TV, no surround sound, nothing like that. This is a calm, grounding space. Guest access You’ll have complete access to both connected yurts. The entire space is yours to enjoy. Other things to note Driveway & Parking: The driveway is not terribly long, but is gravel and down hill. There is some space to turn around at the bottom, and parking is located directly beside the yurt. If snow is predicted during your stay, we recommend backing your car in, so you can easily pull forward when leaving. We do not have a way to plow or scrape the driveway. If more than a couple inches of snow are expected, you may prefer to park at the top of the drive and walk down, unless your vehicle handles snow well. Smoking: There is no smoking inside the yurts. Please smoke outside only — the porch is perfectly fine. Please take extra caution to extinguish cigarette butts, etc. Thank you for helping keep the space clean and comfortable. Inclusive Values Our space reflects our family values. Around the property, you may see signs or artwork that affirm that: Science is real, love is love, black lives matter, no human is illegal and kindness is essential. You don’t have to share these beliefs, but you do need to be comfortable with these messages being present on the property.
