We’ve moved to a beautiful new location in the Mettowee Valley of Vermont, with 125 acres of fields and forest, 7 acres of u-pick blueberries, a spring fed pond, the Mettowee River for swimming, and of course our many rescued farm animals who love attention ❤️. Only min from Granville, NY, the colored slate capital of the world, 30 min from Manchester, and 20 min from Dorset. When you book with us, you help us care for our rescued farm animals, and continue our mission to rescue and offer sanctuary to more animals in need. Get back to nature, spend time with the animals, and find your peace here. We hope you’ll come stay with us!

The yurt was amazing and felt like a little sanctuary! Erika is a phenomenal host and even greater person with all she does for her animals! We loved the animals so much — the horses were the sweetest!!

The land was so gorgeous and Erika was so kind! We loved meeting the animals, swimming in the creek, and hiking nearby. 10/10 would recommend

Our weekend in the Yurt was perfect! It was a very private setting, with the fire pit and pond just steps away from each other. Plenty of near by towns and areas to visit, we will definitely be returning!

i leave with a full heart
Mark + Erika show time & time again how kind, selfless, and inspiring human beings can be. Not only did they bring firewood to the site, they also set the wood up in the fire pit in a way that was truly foolproof (I had horrible matches with me and the fire caught like an absolute charm) and that is just a minute portion of their splendor. Their company and conversation is always a delight, but the property itself is just as magnificent. I highly recommend a dip in the spring fed pond — especially in the mornings or in the evening under the stars. Can’t wait to come visit again.

Me and 3 other friends stayed in Erika’s yurt and it was the perfect place for us to stay! The yurt is spacious and the beds are quite comfortable. The spring fed pond was perfect to cool off! We loved it here and will definitely be coming back to say hi to the lovely animals!

Love the yurt!
Loved our time at Erika’s yurt and her farm animal sanctuary. My boys loved spending time with Cindy Lou, the dwarf dairy cow, and Dave, a friendly goat who’s unfortunately fighting cancer. There’s also a pond w/ two kayaks. It’s the only yurt on the property, so tons of privacy. Have told multiple people about this spot already and definitely want to come back some day.
