The yurt is set back on a trail that is peaceful, beautiful and quiet, but very near the barn. The barn is a lovely well kept community space with a cozy finished kitchen two bathrooms, large dining space a library. I wish we could've stayed longer to explore the light center. It is a wonderful place with great energy.

We had such a great time at the Redtail yurt and already can’t wait to visit again! Susan was extremely accommodating and had such a beautiful property. Highly recommend! (Probably a smart idea to bring lanterns since the yurt doesn’t have electricity, other than that 10/01)

Staying in the Redtail Yurt was so serene and peaceful. It felt private but was a short walk to the community amenities. There were lovely trails into woods and meadows around the property, and we loved seeing the free range chickens and goats wandering around. The yurt was cozy and had comfy beds with clean bedding. We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the moonlit room at the light center. The energy of this space was incredible. The room was super cozy and comfortable. And the fire pit and star gazing made for an exceptional evening. Hope to return soon and explore more of the trails.

The Light Center was beautiful and welcoming! My friend and I had a delightful and meaningful time meditating, soaking in nature, and sitting around the fire pit talking while our girls played. The butterflies were amazing, and the fireflies were like nature's rave. We saw a little armadillo buddy too. The Yurt amenities were well thought out. I took a battery pack for my CPAP. We'll be back!!

Had a great weekend at Red Tail Yurt. The setting is super peaceful and remote, just what I was hoping for. The yurt itself is huge (photos don’t do it justice), with tons of room for a family or group. It has a cozy, glamping vibe — nicer than tent camping but still very connected to nature. The barn with the kitchen and bathroom is a quick walk away. There’s a composting toilet in the yurt, but I just used the barn. The host was friendly and very responsive. If you’re going in summer, bring a fan and some batteries. Also plan ahead for cooking — either over the fire or in the barn kitchen. Would definitely stay again.

The Light Center property is absolutely amazing! I was able to chat with Susan, the land owner and felt absolutely at home with her warm welcome. The yurt was perfect for a group of us to stay in. Very private, extremely quiet and so dark at night! There’s a creek to play in and wonderful hiking through natural woods and grass. The community barn is definitely an added bonus! We will be back! ☺️

This is a special place. I felt so warmly welcomed and there was a wonderful comfortable bed made and waiting for us. We built a fire in the fire pit, enjoyed an outdoor meal, walked the maintained trails. We had a nice outing in Lawrence and my partner and I had a lovely restful stay.

Lovely and spacious, just what's needed. Enjoyed the grounds, trails, firepit, and the meadow to the west was prefect for viewing stars in solitude. More than enough space for three to sleep comfortably. Susan's quick friendly tour was just enough to orient us, but not intrusive to our time for relaxing. An overall great experience.

We loved everything about this place. Susan was incredibly kind and accommodating. And the farm is incredibly beautiful. We literally booked on the same day and came here so we didn’t know what to expect. I can easily say this was probably the best Hipcamp experience we’ve had. We will definitely return for sure.
