Looking to tend to you? Would it be to rest in nature and soak up the sounds and wonder of our wooded landscape, explore hiking trails and national and state parks, float down the Potomac, and/or visit historic sites and towns? Fern Yabin (a hard sided yurt) is nestled in a forest on a ridge (Elk Ridge) directly across from the Maryland Appalachian Trail. We are tucked down in a holler surrounded by streams, towering Poplars, wildlife and dappled sunshine. The land hosts some animals - a goat, dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks while growing medicinal plants, seasonal edible berries/fruits (wineberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, mulberries, elderberries, vine kiwi, pawpaw, etc.) and rocks (plenty of them). There is a couple of acres enclosed with an electric fence where the livestock guardian dog (Luna) roams with the animals. We also sell farm fresh eggs. Fern Yabin is a rustic hard sided yurt style cabin that has hot and cold water, composting toilet, outdoor shower (cold water only), a indoor soaking tub, hot water kettle, an outdoor propane grill, ceiling fan, outdoor patio and fire pit, skylight, WiFi, and lots of character. The Yabin was a true labor of love built as a collective effort in community. There is a designated parking spot and a gravel path (moderate decline) that leads down to the Yabin. If you are a thru hiker, drop off and pick up is available for a fee. Please inquire upon booking. We are 10 minutes to the Appalachian Trail (Weverton Cliffs/Gathland SP and Crampton Gap) and the Potomac/Shenandoah Rivers (great for tubing/kayaking/wading/swimming). There are outdoor outfitters within 15 minutes where all kinds of wonderful adventures await including a brewery with a stunning vista of the river and area. We are 15 minutes away from historic Harpers Ferry. Antietam National Battlefield and other historic sites are within 30 minutes. For amazing dining opportunities and small city life - Frederick, MD, Boonsboro, MD, Brunswick, MD, Shepherdstown, WV and Charles Town, WV are about a 30 min drive. We are also close to several state parks in the tri state area (MD, VA, WV). We are welcoming to all people, regardless of gender, age, gender identity, race, national origin, disability, ethnicity, and religion.Fern Yabin is a rustic hard sided yurt nestled in a forest on a rocky mountain ridge. Guests will enjoy a 625 sq ft secluded Yabin in the woods with a dome sky light, ceiling fan, on demand hot water heater, running potable water, wifi, outside grill and patio, outdoor shower, queen bed and loft (sleeps one adult/teenager who is about 5'5" or under to sleep comfortably and be able to climb a ladder), sofa, arm chair, wood stove, an enclosed bathroom with hand pump flushing toilet, sink and soaking tub, a kitchen which includes a 4 chair dining table, mini fridge, electric kettle, Berkey water filtration, plates, cups, kitchen utensils, silverware and a coffee and tea trolley. There is NO AIR CONDITIONING, just cool mountain breezes, ceiling fan, screen door and windows. The Yabin showcases an open floor plan with window views of the surrounding woods. A seasonal stream runs along side the path to the Yabin. Wild and cultivated berries and fruits can be foraged. Items provided: bath towels, bed sheets, blankets, dishware, cookware, cutlery. Guests will have parking available for 2 cars where there is a little walk over a bridge and gravel path to the Yabin. The land is located on a homestead with goats, dogs, cats, chickens and ducks. There is a home located further down the driveway. If you are hiking the Appalachian Trail and need pickup and drop off that is available for a fee. Also if you are staying for a week, laundry availability can be arranged. I also offer massage at the Yabin, inquire if you would like to book a massage with me and I can text details.

Would love to stay again!

Fern Yabin

We both had a lovely time. The space is as described and was a cozy, relaxing night. We hiked near by, grilled dinner, and had a camp fire, and a good rest. Thanks to Andrea, Petunia, and all for having us.

Unique accommodations!

Fern Yabin

In a nutshell, we loved the Yabin! The property is very laid-back and accessible. The cozy outside area with a fire pit and seating area is right outside the door of the Yabin. It is much bigger and more sturdy than we imagined. So much space with many nice touches. The woodstove kept everything nice and cozy overnight. The beds were so comfortable! Andrea could not be more accommodating and she is very communicative. If you decide to book, before you pack for your trip, make sure you check with Andrea. She really has thought of just about everything you will need. I can’t wait to go back!
