Our clean, spacious yurt is a unique retreat that guests love in any season. Perfect for the outdoor enthusiast, we are in the country yet just ten minutes to Montpelier and the interstate. Aa beautiful stop on picturesque country roads, and just a short drive to hundreds of miles of trails. Nearby historic sites, boutique shops, and delicious restaurants make your time in Vermont memorable. We are booked nearly year-round: snag your spot now. The yurt is nestled in a private space with fields and forests out the door. If privacy is what you are seeking, look no further. Our house is on the property, but you have your own path to get to the yurt, and cannot see our house. Enjoy morning coffee on the Aidrondack glider, get a good night's rest in a queen-sized bed with beautiful linens, or relax in the loveseat by a crakcling fire. A microwave, electric kettle, coffeemaker, and small fridge/freezer make it easy to prep a meal and heat up leftovers. People love the break from cooking. You are also welcome to use a campstove outside in a covered area with a table. We provide potable drinking water, as well as fair-trade coffee and tea. Inside the yurt there is a handwash station. The yurt does not have indoor plumbing. Guests use a beautiful composting toilet just steps from the yurt, constructed in 2022 and during the warmer months an outdoor sink with potable water. East Montpelier is home to nearly 15 miles of walking trails through rolling farmland and forest. Camel's Hump, Mount Hunger and Mt. Mansfield are all within a half 45 minute drive. The local parks department maintains lovely ski trails with panoramic views, and nearby ponds offer wonderful spots for swimming and boating. If you love life on two wheels, treat yourself to the miles of dirt roads and nearby mountain biking trails. I'm an avid outdoorswoman and will happily point you and your adventurous spirit to the best spots in the area! In addition to being close to several state parks (Little River, Groton, Camel's Hump and Mount Mansfield), East Montpelier hosts a dozen miles of walking trails through woods and fields. Montpelier maintains miles of trails behind the state capitol, along the North Branch River and in fields and forests just minutes away. Part of the charm of a yurt is that you are close to nature. Plenty of natural light pours in, you can hear the birds, and enjoy rustling of leaves. In the spring and fall, evenings can be cool, so you may want to make a small fire in the woodstove to take off the chill. In the winter, we start the fire for you so it's warm when you arrive, and give you clear directions on how to keep the fire going throughout your stay. There is plenty of wood for your use. Our clean, spacious yurt is a unique retreat that guests love in any season. Perfect for the nature and adventure enthusiast, the yurt is secluded down a path on a quiet, country road.

Planning on coming back!

My husband and I spent our 1 year anniversary here and the space just made our experience all the more special! Sharon’s husband (Mark, we believe?) saw us as we parked our car and gave us a tour, making sure all of our questions were answered and that we were comfortable w/ using the amenities. The yurt was phenomenal - rustic but comfortable, very spacious and clean. Comfortable bed and pillows with plenty of blankets on the side. The wood stove was easy to use and we were welcome to get more wood in the back. Outhouse was close by. Downtown was <10min drive away - we found our new favorite bakery, Bohemian Bakery! Our hosts gave us plenty of helpful suggestions for our stay. We hope to come back in the summer!

I want to move in. This place is absolute magic. Two friends and I spent our time around the fire pit, making fun food and tea, reading the great stash of books in the yurt, and just having the time of our lives. And my goodness, there are no better hosts in the world. We wanted them to stay and chat with us forever. The best Hipcamp I've been to, and I've been to a lot. Clean and comfortable, the Milky Way exploding overhead, every detail great. Get here as quickly as you can!
