3 nights at "paradise is within you"
This place is special! It is glamping at its finest. The setting by the river is beautiful, the outdoor kitchen makes cooking fun and easy and the yurts v comfortable. There is so much to do on this property from exploring the river and swimming holes to reading and napping in one of the many nooks by the river. Just spectacular. Kenneth has really made this a retreat.

Weekend Trip to "paradise is within you"
We spent two nights at this retreat, and it truly felt like discovering a hidden paradise. At first, we weren’t even sure we’d find it, as it’s tucked away in a quiet mountain pass – but once we arrived, that sense of seclusion became one of the best things about the stay.
Our tent was spacious and comfortable, and the whole area radiated peace and calm. After a long day of hiking, nothing compared to stepping into the warm sauna and then plunging into the crisp, refreshing mountain river. In the evenings, we sat under the dazzling night sky, listening to the gentle murmur of the water as it carried us into sleep.
The place had everything we could have asked for: clean toilets and showers, a small outdoor gym, and a well-equipped kitchen. Mornings came with a few curious wasps buzzing around our breakfast, but they never stung – just a small reminder that in nature, we share the space with its little inhabitants. The mattress in our tent was also a little sunken in the middle, creating a slight dip, but despite that we still slept deeply and comfortably.
What really tied it all together was Kenneth, our kind host, who made sure every detail was taken care of and that everyone felt welcome. Thanks to him, and to the setting itself, this retreat felt less like a stay and more like a little escape into another world.
