The perfect get away from urban life. Our 25th wedding anniversary brought us to this Hipcamp yurt. Bill had all our needs taken care of. The woods was in fall transition. The view is amazing as is the mystical yurt.
Thank you very much Bill!

Bill gives good directions, leaves you be unless you need something and the bunkhouse has everything you need. Was an affordable place to stay for work in Jeff City

Cozy, quiet, and comfortable. Great communication with Bill, especially when my traveling party’s plans changed at the last minute. Very laid-back no-frills experience; that’s exactly what we were going for and the Bunk House delivered. Will gladly return.

Communication was clear and easy. Easy to find and the bunkhouse was cosy. Nice and quiet for a good night's rest on a long trip.

This yurt was absolutely spectacular - my jaw actually dropped as soon as I opened the door. This was our checkpoint on our way home to Ohio from Colorado, 16hrs in the car from CO to MO, and this little place was exactly what we needed. We were elated to find AC, full working kitchen and shower, the most comfortable bed of our entire trip, and gorgeously whimsical deco fitted with tea candles and fairy lights for the perfect ambience. Their kitchen was fitted with all of the utensils and equipment one would need, including a microwave, electric stovetop, and a pantry stocked with seasonings, among many other kitchen amenities. The food we picked up on our way into town had gotten cold by the time we got in, so we were so relieved that we could use the kitchen to heat it all back up! Even the outhouse was stellar, with running water for washing and compost toilet. All in all, the only thing I would have changed about our stay is that I wish we could have stayed longer! Excellent campsite guys, thank you so much

Bill's Yurt was a wonderful place to stay! It is in a beautiful location on the property and the overall location was easy for us to find on our bicycles. The yurt was well supplied and we thought the composting toilet was great! Bill did a great job communicating with us and we would highly recommend staying at the yurt!

Wonderful experience!! Truly enjoyed the Yurt and its wrap around deck overlooking the heavily forested floor as well as appreciated the host’s low key, welcoming hospitality. Upon meeting Bill he handed out some treats to feed the turtles and fish in a lovely little pond on the property. Highly recommend this Hipcamp!!

This yurt was truly magical! The setting was so private and quaint.. the trails that were right on the property were so fun to explore. Check-in was seamless and all instructions were clearly provided. Bill was an amazing host, and even shipped back some items I had left behind asap. Everything was so clean and all of the cooking supplies provided allowed us to make some scrumptious meals throughout all the outdoor activity. We had such a wonderful time lying in the hammock attached to the deck, and never felt swarmed by bugs! It was two nights of pure bliss in a beautiful area, we cannot wait to come back!

One of the coolest places and hosts. My friend and I felt so lucky to spend some time with Bill, the billion year old rocks and the snapping turtle. Convenience and affordability doesn’t often come with magic, but here it does.

The yurt itself was very inviting, and the wood stove was easy enough to enjoy. The weather itself was less than perfect, but that is how camping goes, even hip, yurt camping. Bill himself was wonderfully communicative, so that there were no troubles finding and using the yurt.

Such a peaceful piece of property in the country! Bill’s “Welcome” note and amenities made me feel right at home. The bunk house was so cozy and the kitties were adorable!

My husband and I loved the Bunkhouse on sight! It was a great little place to escape from our long road trip and the relentless rain storms we'd driven through all day. Bill was very helpful and we passed a nice quiet night there. We'll be staying there again!

Mystical Yurt Floating in the Trees
We absolutely loved staying at Bill’s yurt. It was super cozy and had everything we needed for the weekend. My son and I put together a puzzle one evening (provided by the host), my husband and I sat by a fire and played cards (cards and wood provided by the host), and then we took a walk down the trail to a nice little creek where we found a fire pit, chairs and a hammock! Each evening we were visited by the sweetest kitty. The host, Bill, was very nice and my husband enjoyed chatting with him every time he went to get more wood. We will definitely be planning another stay at this location!

The yurt was cozy and comfy! As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and secure, too! The view was beautiful, even before the trees filled in with leaves and the little trail down to the creek was very cute! My young kiddos would have absolutely adored playing in the creek! Lots of fun little touches that showed that it’s a place filled with care and love.

It was very comfortable! The beds were perfect to make it an easy camping trip if your just wanting to get away, there was even heat and A/C in the bunk house when we arrived there was even a note that said “welcome Quinn and family” with little candies bill is very thoughtful, and let us have a fire in his yard! He was great host! I would recommend this place! He also has a cabin, and also a yert. If you prefer more of privacy the yert is farther away and the cabin faces his cool pound with a dock!

The yurt was lovely. So many special touches! A nicely stocked kitchen area, the futon was already made with sheets and a quilt under the cover. We had a girls weekend, and it was so much fun just to wander around and explore the little touches in the yurt. It was beautiful. Definitely felt more clamping, than camping, we just needed to add our own food!
It was very cozy and warm on arrival (late winter time), there were 2 space heaters running and a central heater when we arrived. They were easy to adjust and keep it cozy.
Things you might want to know: The land itself is a narrow strip in the woods, we took a little jaunt down the hill to the creek, but not much space to hike on the land.
It might not be super pleasant to cross to the compost toilet in very cold weather, but it was fine for us, if a bit chilly!
Overall, I have no complaints. It was a beautiful space, we really enjoyed it!

Every corner of this property is touched with Love. For me, it was a haven, a sanctuary to read, write, meditate, and really commune with Nature and the glorious stars. The yurt is perfectly located to experience the sunrise and sunset. The moon and stars seem to prefer hanging out over the deck. The trail is just enough, and the creek is a gurgling joy. Bill is a great host, willing to do whatever you want, or stay the heck away. He created this/these gloriously special spaces FOR US. When you go, be sure to read the guest book when you arrive so you can benefit from all the good energy and experiences that have made being there heart opening and, quite frankly, sacred. And, of course, if you are willing to allow it, you will have a best friend in Cleopatra the cat. One hint: park on the drive to the upside of the yurt/trail unless you have 4 wheel drive (wink).

The bunkhouse was cozy. However, it smelled of musty sweat as soon as I entered the place. Turned out it’s the beddings, particularly the pillows, smelled like they’ve been used by sweaty people and haven’t been washed. Due to the cold temperature in December, had to keep door closed with heater on (room was toasty), which probably amplified the smell. I was able to sleep only by piling all the pillows to one side of the room and by using my own sleeping bag and pillow on the bed towards the back (thankfully the blanket on that bed did not smell).
