The yurt is located just past a newly planted plum orchard, lines of raspberries and strawberries on the upper part of our farm. It is a cozy 14 ft custom made yurt. It has a four season insulation kit and full size wood stove to heat the space in the winter. There is a newly installed propane back up that runs on a thermostat. It does a good job keeping the yurt warm in the colder months however bringing your own firewood for the woodstove is the best to stay toasty warm in the winter.
