We loved staying in Monica's yurt! It was in a convenient location just outside of Greenville and the property had everything we needed while still feeling primitive. It was such a treat to be able to use the kayaks as well! We'll definitely seek this out the next time we stay in the area!

Borestone Base Camp

16 ft car

Monica's camp has been thoughtfully outfitted and provides a comfortable base camp for the many activities available in the area. This was our first time staying in a yurt and we hope not the last. We ordered a firewood bundle add-on and Monica had it assembled and ready to light with fire-starter and gas match nearby. She readily disclosed the road noise so that we could bring ear plugs. Road noise was definitely present during the day, but also the songs of birds and loons calling to each other, and when we woke in the middle of the night it was completely silent. There was a pounding rain throughout one night of our stay, but it was comfortable and dry in the yurt. We'd brought along a down comforter in case it got cold, but the provided comforter was plenty warm. An added luxury was the outdoor shower with hot water, so be sure to bring towels. We appreciated all Monica's added touches and advice regarding things to do in the area. It was a wonderful stay and we'd be happy to return. Thanks Monica!

Great Weekend!

Wonderful spot close to Monson and to Greenville and surrounded by so much to do and see! Very comfortable beds and most everything we needed for a perfect weekend! Kayaking on the pond was a big highlight. Super peaceful. We hope to get back again!

We had an amazing experience. The beds were incredibly cozy and comfortable, and the fact that all cooking supplies were provided made meal preparation a breeze. The fire pit was a perfect touch for enjoying the outdoors, and the location was exactly what I was looking for- within a 15 minute drive to Moosehead Lake. I would highly recommend this yurt rental to anyone looking for a unique getaway. 5 stars!

The yurt was extremely spacious and had everything we needed. Our favorite part was the fire pit but the shower was a close second! We had issues with the battery connection and Monica came out and fixed it quite quickly. Despite being next to traffic, which wasn’t bothersome for us, the area was very peaceful and remote. It was also a great location right near Moosehead Lake. Monica had great suggestions of things to visit in the area as well. Overall a great stay and would recommend!
