Totally secluded Yurt surrounded by waterfalls, brooks, cliffs and forest

Totally secluded surrounded by waterfalls, brooks, cliffs and forest
This 30’ diameter Yurt is a stunning space to rejuvenate and be in nature.
You will hear the sound of the waterfall across, and take long walks on the 120 acre property.
Vibrant nature with turkey and deer visitors, hummingbirds and hawks, foxes and eagles, you will be in good company!
The Yurt sleeps 4, one queen size bed and 2 twin size bed plus sofa pull outs, that are twins .
It is one open space with a large circular skylight in the center of the ceiling that floods the space with light and 4 glass windows, the bathroom is a room inside the yurt with a shower, sink and toilet.
The Yurt has its own well and it located on 120 acres that you are welcome to hike.
The circular shape is very comforting, it makes you feel hugged.
The ceiling in the center is 14’ high.
Grill ,small fridge under counter, large toaster oven and 3 cooking plates, coffee maker, tea water heater, spices, cookware, silverware, table ware… grill, all you could possibly need is available to you.
This Yurt is a tent-like circular structure built out of wood beams and wall lattice covered with fabric and isolation, the floor is engineered wood, and there are 5 wall panels that are built out of wood for windows and entrance door. Please don’t book this place if you are afraid of animals. you are in nature and there are many little insects, spiders, ants and mice, …., it’s natural you’re in a tent there are deer turkey, foxes and eagles ...
So if You have an issue with mice spiders ants and so on I will not give you a refund if you feel uncomfortable thank you for understanding it is a tent, a very luxurious one!
Snow and yurt : the yurt heats up very nice
I have the driveway snowplowed, but that does not mean it's always safe.
Be prepared if there is a snowstorm or ice storm that you have to park your car at the main rd and walk down the driveway, its about a 5 min walk. if you decide to drive down anyway and get stuck, it will cost about $350 to get you out.
There is a medicine wheel out in front of the lawn and a fire pit.
you are close to New Paltz and Kingston 10 to 15 min, Woodstock 30min Rhinebeck 30 min. The best of both worlds
Please know that the water fall and all the water seen on the pictures have more or less water depending on season, if there is a drought there will be no water in the streams. Please collect your wood for the fire pit in the Forrest or bring it , Because of the intense woodburning amount I cannot longer provide the outside which I do provide it would bricks for the wood burning oven inside. Please only use the inside and not for the outside fire pit thank you
I just put in a washer and dryer !
Please no camping no parties no large gatherings thank you very much

Amazing, relaxing stay!
My boyfriend and I went for a weekend getaway, looking for an excluded place to stay and the yurt was perfect! We loved making a fire at night, sitting on the porch having our coffee in the morning and exploring the waterfall in the backyard. Really really great stay!

A great and unique getaway not far from home
A wonderful and fun experience in a secluded and beautiful spot! We brought our dog who loved exploring the property, laying in the sun on the porch, and exploring trails and towns nearby. The yurt was comfortable, clean, and very well equipped. Thanks to the owner for keeping in touch throughout the weekend.

Absolute Peace and Tranquility In This Round House
The yurt itself is so quaint and beautiful. You’re also spoiled with all of the modern luxuries you’ll need/want; plumbing, heat/AC, wifi, tv and more! Check in was easy as can be and the location was private and beautiful.

Another beautiful stay!
We stayed here last year and returned again this summer. The yurt is very comfortable with all the amenities you could want plus lots of extra special touches. It's dark and secluded, the only sound is the waterfall nearby. Our two dogs loved it too!

Relaxation at its best!
My husband and I had an amazing, relaxing time on this beautiful property. Really enjoyed our first time staying in a Yurt which was quite comfortable. The space was really wonderful and we didn’t need anything but groceries! We will be staying again! I felt so completely relaxed and refreshed after our stay! Thank you for generously sharing your home and property!

Pleasantly surprised
We are seniors who are used to "pack in- pack out" camping, but we needed to try something different. We were pleasantly surprised that we were provided with the feeling of the great outdoors with wonderfully unexpected amenities! It was a wonderful, relaxing, spiritual Valentine's weekend.

Absolutely the BEST WEEKEND EVER!
We stayed at the yurt for a getaway weekend. From the moment you pull up, you are in awe of the property! It was covered in snow and just absolutely beautiful. The yurt itself was impeccable and every special touch was taken to make the property welcoming, comfortable, and special. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could have possible needed as well as instruction manuals. The beds were so comfortable and tons of extra blankets were included so that you were cozy and warm. The fireplace made the whole experience so special. We will ABSOLUTELY be coming back to the property! Thank you Gisela for an amazing weekend!

Exciting and Unique
When choosing a yurt as a place to stay for our visit to the Rhinebeck fiber festival, we knew our destination would be out of the ordinary. BUT, WOW! This place was beautifully decorated with funky collections and displays, full/modern amenities, excellent instructions for all of the appliances/equipment, and great hiking and outdoor spaces to enjoy. What a gorgeous waterfall that can be viewed right from the patio. I will definitely book again and can’t recommend this destination enough. So many fun surprises and cozy accommodations. Sue Carney

Wonderful stay in the yurt!
My husband and I had a great time staying in Gisela’s yurt with our dog. It looked just like the pictures inside, but the outside was even more beautiful! The location felt completely private but was only ~15 minutes from some really cute towns. I never met Gisela, but her communication was attentive but not overbearing. The kitchen is small but surprisingly functional. She also replaced the grill right before we arrived! Rules and cleanup procedures were reasonable. My only minor complaint would be that the bed and couch were very firm, but that is personal preference. We would stay here again!
