It started years ago my sister and I stayed in a yurt at a campground in Oregon. That was it. I was hooked so I got one. There is something magical about staying in a round structure in the trees. My love of nature and comfort drove me to create this special place to be able to share it with others. My TreeYurt is a platform built high in the trees so it essentially like a treehouse but with a yurt instead. It is located in the back part of my property surrounded by woods. In the spring there is a small stream running nearby and soon to come a bridge over to the fairy village. The land is somewhat sloped yet comfortable. There are apple orchards nearby and many hiking trails a short distance away as well as Portland a mere 15 minutes. The kitchenette has a small fridge a coffee maker a cook top with two burners pots pans utensils and kitchen towels as well a propane grill outside. There is a wood stove for heating in the winter as well as a monitor heater that makes it very cozy for chilly nights. The yurt is insulated so it is a great year round glamping adventure. I provide fire wood for the wood stove inside but the camp fire wood for the outdoor fire pit is $5 per bundle. The outhouse has a dry flush toilet and instructions at located in the yurt and out house. There is seasonal running water (May through October) for the outdoor sink which is available for use for dishwashing and a bit of cleaning up. Also an outdoor Solar shower is available for use May through October and biodegradable soaps and shampoo are provided. I provide gallons of drinking water and dishwashing water for the colder months inside the yurt with dish tubs sponges and soap.My TreeYurt sits on a platform built high in the trees so it essentially like a treehouse but with a yurt instead. This glamping spot is located in the back part of my property surrounded by woods. In the spring there is a small stream running nearby. In the winter this glamping spot is fully insulated and heated with a wood stove and monitor heater. The land is somewhat sloped yet comfortable and in the summer time enjoy the outdoor fire pit area. The Tree Yurt is quite literally a yurt in the trees. Surrounded by nature, this is YEAR ROUND glamping close to Portland. -New spring 2024 an outdoor SOLAR shower- Water for the outdoor shower and outdoor sink is seasonal Typically May through October. Please BYOT. Bring your own bath towels. A main house sits closer to the driveway and There is a chance the house and the yurt will be rented out at the same time. The yurt is about 200 feet from the house and the only shared space is the driveway, so it is actually very private. There are apple orchards nearby and many hiking trails a short distance away as well as Portland or Freeport a mere 15 minutes. If you’re a skier or snowboarder Pleasant Mt is only 40 minutes away.

Nestled in the woods, this yurt offers a serene escape with nature's soundtrack of owls, frogs, and a babbling brook. Guests appreciate the cozy atmosphere, highlighted by a wood stove and ample bedding, which keeps the chill at bay. The location is praised for its privacy and proximity to Portland, making it a convenient yet secluded retreat. While the yurt is well-equipped, some guests noted the lack of a mirror, emphasizing its rustic charm.

Pictures on tell part of the story.

With kids

Absolutely amazing space. What a fun and unique place. Great setting in the woods overlooking a slow moving brook. Host was so great. I was bringing a 6 and 2 year old for the weekend. She gave recommendations for activities in the area to keep us busy during the rain. The space itself was stunning. The wood fireplace really set the ambiance. It was nice to have the skylight that opened to release some of the heat and allow for sounds of nature to fill the room. The beds were awesome, lots and lots of cozy pillows and thick blankets and plenty of space for more than just me and 2 small kids. The cooking area met almost every need. My daughter definitely got a kick out of the “outside” toilet. At night the sounds of owls, frogs and the little brook flowing over rocks was definitely the highlight. It was sooo peaceful to stay up and listen to the crackling of the fire and the nature sounds. Waking up and the fog had rolled in made it a great place to have a cup of coffee in the morning overlooking the forest. I absolutely recommend this to small families, couples wanting time away or a group of friends. Make sure you check the weather ahead of time and plan accordingly. Not a lot of space for kids to be rambunctious when they’re stuck inside. Absolutely will be a return customer. Thanks for being awesome

Fairy Tree House

With pets

My husband, pup and I LOVED staying in this cute yurt for a weekend! It’s private, nature-filled and CUTE! We arrived at night and the hanging lights were on, making it feel so welcome and like a little fairy tree house indeed! The beds were comfy, and we had everything we needed. Instructions and communication was straightforward. The outhouse was the best I’d ever been in, clean and no odor at all! I can take Amy takes great care of this place! Loved it and look forward to returning. The only change I’d make is adding a mirror somewhere. I’m definitely more of a glamper than a camper and would’ve loved a mirror to get ready with! Luckily I had a small one I always carry :)

Fun weekend!

With pets

We had the best time, there was plenty of room for us and our great dane! It rained the entire weekend we were there but we didnt mind the cozy down time and we made the most of it. The yurt is beautiful and has all the necessities, Amy really does a nice job of making sure you have everything w/o overcrowding. We live about 40min away but it felt like we were further, its private yet still not far from anything you might need but I suggest bringing everything because you might not want to leave. This was our first time trying hipcamp and our expectations are going to high after this one, I think:)

We loved staying in Amy’s tree yurt! It was such a unique experience in a lovely wooded area. Amy was a great host, attentive, and proactive. We hope to stay there again the next time we are in Maine!
