Secluded Forest Yurt Near the Best of Southern Vermont
The Property & Location:
Our yurt is set on a private 40+ acre forested property in Southern Vermont, offering true seclusion without sacrificing easy access to vibrant towns, outdoor recreation, and cultural life.
Despite the quiet, you’re remarkably close to everything: just 10 minutes to Putney, 15 minutes to Brattleboro, 10 minutes to the highway on easy, well-maintained roads, 2.5 hours from Boston, 3.5 hours from New York City, and only 1 hour from Bradley International Airport.
Southern Vermont is known for its creative energy and community-centered culture. Nearby towns offer excellent restaurants, music venues, galleries, and events, including Brattleboro’s Gallery Walk nights, Putney’s beloved Bandwagon Summer Series, and a year-round calendar of arts and live music.
Outdoor recreation begins right outside the yurt door. In winter, enjoy cross-country skiing on quiet forest roads and trails. The property features a curated, boutique 18-hole disc golf course, and gravel biking can be done directly from the property. Nearby, you’ll find hiking trails, swimming holes, and paddling opportunities.
During winter months, you’re less than an hour from some of Vermont’s most loved ski areas, including Magic Mountain, Mount Snow, Stratton, and Stowe—not to mention Brattleboro's own hidden gem, where ski access is only $5.
This is a place where you can feel deeply tucked away, yet still pop into town for dinner, a show, or a gallery opening.

A magical place in the woods inviting a return to your essential nature located amongst watershed land in Williamsburg, MA. Simple, quiet, and cozy. The space works in many wonderful ways, especially as a vessel for nurturing self-directed retreats like writing or meditation retreats. Many local trails including The Holyoke Range, The Berkshires Mountains, Graves Brothers Loop Trail, and Petticoat Hill Trail Loop.
Experience nature, trails, starry nights, and hooting owls.
The Yurt is located a twenty-minute drive from the vibrant downtown of Northampton, MA. The Yurt is a wonderful place for parents to stay when your kid graduates from one of the Five Colleges: Smith College, Amherst, Mt.Holyoke, Hampshire, and U. MASS.
The Yurt is a short drive from MASS MoCA, Green River music festival, Tanglewood music festival, and Jacob’s Pillow.
What have previous Yurtlings said about this space?
"We came to celebrate a birthday and, within that, generate a shared transcendent experience. The yurt is the ideal container to hold such a ceremonial and sacred journey. The weekend was more than we could have hoped for! Thank you Carolyn!
In Unity + Gratitude, Sara + Pete"
"At night we heard barred owls calling out, it reminded that quiet isn't silent, and the darkness has layers, it is never just one thing.
❤️Cate and Em"
We are extremely blessed to live in the woods amongst watershed land and hooting owls. With nothing but star-lit skies, I’m delighted to extend this sliver of natural beauty to you.

Weekend Trip to Owl House
We loved staying at the Owl House. We had a parking spot and the owners met us when we got there, giving us recommendations of where to explore. Lots of beautiful quiet land and a cozy yurt to rest in. Would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful quick trip at Shannon’s yurt! She was easy to communicate with and provided us with lots of information in advance of our stay. The yurt was pristine! Bright and beautiful and so cozy. The deck space is great. There was a small table perfect for food prep on the Coleman cook stove. We used the grill on the deck for burgers. There are lots of cooking tools provided as well as a dish basin and soap. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding was so cozy and warm! Looking at the stars through the skylight was my favorite part!! We walked across the road to pisgah for a hike. The gas stove is new and incredibly efficient but a bit hard for us to figure out. We didn’t realize until talking to Shannon and her husband the next morning that the stove auto turns off and kicks back on when it drops to a certain temp. We were manually turning it on and off which meant we were either sweating or shivering in the night. Now we know! And so will you.
There was room in the yurt for a pack and play and a toddler cot. The incinerator toilet was awesome. No smell at all!
Shannon and her husband were lovely to chat with. We can’t wait to come back for another stay at Rest Farm!

Weekend Trip to Magical Yurt in the Woods
The snow was bedecked with many different types of animal tracks that we enjoyed studying. Shakti/Carolyn had warmed up the yurt for us since 7am to ensure it was warm for our arrival. I still recommend bringing your extra blankets & clothing layers from home. While the yurt has many amenities like a stovetop, mini fridge, & some electricity, it's still camping & there will be an element of "roughing it" in a winter yurt.
Shakti was very kind & responsive & made herself available. The land was semi-private & overall very quiet, though we did run into & could sometimes hear some other humans. The walkway was a little bit of a trek, 1/8 mile or so which was fine for us, but for someone with a disability, might not be too accessible. The yurt also had 4 or 5 wooden stairs with a railing & the bathroom was a similar length walk. We had access to a shower, toilet, & running water & a utility sink where we could wash our dishes from cooking in the yurt. My boyfriend kindly woke up every 2-3 hours to load the fire with wood overnight. I got to see a purpose driven, hypermasculine part of him unlocked in this place that I don't always get to see ^_^ Finally the décor & items in the yurt all appear to have a story, & everything feels very homey in that way. Thank you for the memories, we'd love to come back!

We had an amazing stay at this yurt in New Hampshire! The space was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully set up, making it the perfect mix of comfort and nature. Waking up surrounded by trees and fresh mountain air was so peaceful. The location felt private and relaxing, yet everything we needed was within easy reach. It was a unique and memorable experience, and we would absolutely recommend this yurt to anyone looking for a quiet getaway and a special way to enjoy New Hampshire’s beauty. We would highly recommend it and would definitely come back!

What a lovely winter camping experience. The yurt was cozy, plenty warm with a comfy bed. Nice bonus to have the heated bathroom by the entrance as well as the toilet by the yurt. We were thankful for the snow, and even more grateful for the plow out in the morning. Loved our time here, and exploring the area.

We had such a lovely and relaxing time this weekend at the “Mutley” Yurt Site with our two dogs. The property is beautiful and they have done a fantastic job of building out the two sites, which are close to one another to make for a fun group trip, but separate enough to still give you privacy from one another. The yurt was fully stocked with supplies such as cooking equipment, utensils, water jug, LED lantern, propane stovetop, etc. so we were able to pack pretty lightly. We chose to come on a snowy and chilly weekend and the gas fireplace inside kept the whole yurt super toasty, even on a low setting.. so this is definitely winter friendly!
Shannon and her husband were both very helpful with making sure we had everything we needed, including starting the fireplace before we arrived so the Yurt was nice and toasty for us.
We would love to come back and visit again, maybe even with a bigger group since there are the two sites!

4 nights at Willard Pond Sanctuary Retreat
This was a lovely yurt, very well appointed with all the right furniture (and not too much) and an efficient wood stove. It's on a quiet dirt road that leads to the boat launch for Willard Pond, so I could drive my kayak down but it was an easy walk when I didn't have the boat to carry. The water's very clear and looks lovely for swimming (just not in November!) and the surrounding land is an Audubon sanctuary with some well-marked trails and great views. (Warning: lots of deer ticks!!) A fantastic getaway!

Absolutely loved this spot and the Yurt. It was so toasty warm and a cozy bed. We cooked on the grill and used the Coleman stove provided. We enjoyed a 6 hour long campfire and toasted marshmallows and played Gin. Loved the furnace / stove in the yurt. The hosts were so clear and lovely. We felt lucky to stay and nest here.

Our stay at the Riley was a perfect weekend getaway. Shannon was a terrific host from the start making sure that we had everything we needed. The yurt was set up upon our arrival with a cozy gas fired stove for heating, a Coleman cook stove and most everything we might need in the way of utensils. The outdoor firepit was a perfect spot to relax. Pisgah State Park trail head entrance is just across from the campsite and was a easy walk to lots of beautiful hiking. We loved our time there, and would definitely recommend The Riley to our friends.

The Magical Yurt in the woods lived up to its name and then some. When I envisioned the perfect retreat from life this was exactly what I wanted. The yurt was cozy and welcoming with many little touches that contributed to its aura. Carolyn was an exceptional host, accommodating a couple of special requests I had with poise and pleasure. Will definitely be back whenever I can!

Shannon's yurt was the perfect place to spend a rainy day. The photos on the listing are accurate. The wood stove kept us warm all day & night. (At the time of writing, they start you out with some wood for the stove and then you pay $8 a bundle after that.) The skylight at the top was all the light we needed for most of the day. And there is a state park with trails right across the street!!
The food prep/cook situation was similar to car camping - a coleman double burner stove, some plates/cups, some utensils, a pan or two. If you have specific prep needs, I suggest communicating with Shannon beforehand so you all can figure out if they can provide it or you oughta bring it.
Shannon was very helpful and communicative! Everything we needed, she was able to help us out, including finding the house, which was a little tricky.
It's not stated on the listing, and I think it's helpful to know: you will need a 4wd or all wheel drive vehicle to drive up to the yurt, especially during any precipitation or icy conditions. We did not have that so we parked at the bottom and walked up the hill - somewhere between 50 and 100 yards. *This site is not ADA accessible*
Highly recommend Shannon's yurt if you have no accessibility needs and are down for a low amenity glamping situation!! I would definitely love to return!!
