1 night at Boreal Forest Cabin

Our family loved this cozy, well-curated space. Rebekah was quick to respond and super accommodating with our 2am arrival. The mattress was nice and firm- much appreciated as we needed the good night sleep. We easily adjusted the temperature to suit our needs and thoroughly appreciated the eggs and granola. ❤️ I wish we got a chance to spend more time here but will add it to our list for future travels.

1 night at The Yurt At Calypso Farm

It was a lovely little yurt on a lovely little farm! The host provided staples like oats, coffee, tea, etc. There was a fridge, a small oven, sink with hauled-in water and drainage hooked up, cooking and eating utensils, tableware and basic furniture. The wood stove was cool to look at, though we weren't allowed to use it, nor did we need to. The bed was fine. I woke up to roosters after a good night sleep, which was pleasent. We took are self-guided tour of the farm. The kids pet the wool sheep and dwarf goats and we met the farmers, who were nice. The only inconveniences were no showers, taking care of nature's calling in an outhouse, and no cell phone service. We only stayed one night, and left with some yarn from the sheep we pet the day prior! All in all, we enjoyed our stay!
