Your yurt overlooks Tamarack Lake. You will have privacy tucked away in the pines with your own setup of kitchen, picnic area, fire pit, and wood fire tub. A hand pump well with delicious clean water is available as well as a personal composting toilet within view of your yurt, through the trees. Our cabin is about 80 yards away and we are always happy to answer questions and lend a hand. Your yurt comes with a small kitchen that includes a two burner stove, grey water sink, pots, pans, dish ware, and utensils. French press, kettle, coffee and tea are provided. You are also welcome to use the outdoor wood fired cooking set up. The yurt has a wood fire stove that keeps the space toasty year round. Firewood is included for your stay. There is no electricity or running water but we provide a lantern and water inside the cabin. We have a small cast iron wood fired tub that overlooks the lake just outside your yurt! If interested let us know and we can assist. This is a great location for each season. With your booking you will have access to the canoes and our dock. Tamarack Lake is wonderful for fishing panfish, pike, and smallmouth. Come fish any season! You can enjoy yourself exploring via canoe or relaxing with a book at our dock! With nearly 10,000 acres of state land out the backdoor and many trails, adventuring can always be done no matter the season. We enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, backcountry xxsking, and hunting depending on the time of year. It is a big property, but sometimes there are crafting classes, such as basketry, wild food education, hide tanning, etc. While most weekends are quiet around here if you’re looking for privacy feel free to check in with us to make sure we are not hosting classes during your stay. We are looking forward to having you at the lake! Also there are more pics on Instagram @hex_and_strand Thanks =)Your yurt overlooks Tamarack Lake.

May not be correct to rate the stay as we didn’t actually make it. That being said, zac and maddy were incredibly gracious in their efforts to set us up and give good directions to get to their location. No doubt in my mind the stay would have been everything expected, probably more.

Gorgeous Lakeside Retreat
We had a beautiful stay at Zac and Maddy's place! The yurt is amazing -- tidy, cute, well-stocked, one-of-kind. The wood stove kept it warm even on a frigid January day. Water from the hand-pump well was pristine. We even fired up the outdoor bathtub and had an incredible relaxing bath under the tall pines and bright moon. Zac and Maddy are wonderful hosts -- warm, generous, and helpful. Staying here was such a breath of fresh air. We'll definitely be back!

magical spot
Wow, this place is amazing! We had a blast. The yurt is super comfortable, clean, well-built, and cute! It heats up fast and stays warm through the night, no problem. We watched the moon through the skylight and woke up to gaze at the lake right outside our front door. Zac and Maddy are wonderful people - generous, kind, and fun. We hiked in the endless forest all around us and on the frozen lake, watched wildlife, did a little ice fishing, and cozied up around the woodstove. If you're looking for a beautiful remote lake in the woods to retreat to, this is the spot!

Ideal place for slow-down time
The lakeside yurt was such a treat! Staying in a remote place with simple accommodations allowed me the opportunity to slow down and connect with nature. The yurt is home-made from saplings, very cute and comfy, and has the basics needed for a low-tech retreat.

Not clear marked area- kinda junky
Easy booking, arrived to a a home with unclear marking of where to camp( due to discription there was cooking gear in main area) was hard to find the water spout and bathroom, junk was around and when we came back for the night after hiking there were two cars that were new to the property ( I think the host lives there?) Wasent clear and no one communicated anything. As 4 women camping alone we were a little creeped. But beautiful lake and property is cleaned up! Super cool it offers use of a canoe there!

Kind and welcoming host
We really enjoyed our weekend on this property it has a beautiful view of the lake with the leaves just changing colors. There was a good amount of space to let our dogs run around but still stay in sight. The host was super kind and even shot some archery with us while we were there.
