This gorgeous 24' Yurt includes electricity, excellent Wifi, comfortable Queen beds (one mattress on a bed frame and up to two floor mattresses), a refrigerator, and a pristine compost toilet. There is no running water but we provide one gallon of drinking water and one gallon of water for washing up in the bathroom. You can add-on our outdoors camping shower setup for an additional $30, which is more like a birdbath than a real shower, but you can add hot water so it is warm. Sit on our gorgeous rocking chairs on the deck and grill, and stargaze from bed through the dome in the ceiling. Please also note that there are extra charges for more than 2 guests ($15/ person/ night), pets ($25/ stay), propane for heat (if needed- $25/ tank) mini-propane for gas grill ($10) wood bundle for outdoor fire ($15) and outdoor shower setup ($30 for us to fill with water, provide biodegradable soap, and two towels). You can add these to your booking under 'Extras' Please read through all details below to help prepare you for your stay : ) Wifi We have excellent high-speed fiberoptic Wifi. There is no cell service, so make sure to save it before you arrive. Sound Expect to hear all the sounds of nature that you hear when sleeping in a tent. While the Yurt is insulated and stays warm, sound-wise it is like a tent rather than like a house, so expect to hear the sounds of the woods and the weather during your stay. Windows The screen windows close two different ways: to keep the Yurt insulated there is a velcroed thick plastic cover that is clear. To keep out light/ for added privacy you can roll down a solid canvas flap and zip them shut. Please note that both of these things need to happen from outside the Yurt, so you may want to set them how you want them before you turn in for the night. Please reset windows to how you found them when you leave. Bathroom Our compost toilet is lined with a compostable trash bag. Please scoop sawdust from the Periwinkle Milk Crate into the toilet after each use of the toilet. You should scoop enough sawdust to completely and generously cover everything in the toilet. When you end your trip and leave the Yurt, and/or when the toilet is 2/3 full, please tie shut the compostable bag and dump the bag into our compost. Every time you use the outdoor compost, please cover what you have disposed of with either leaves or the hay provided in the center bin. (If you are only staying for 1-2 nights and would prefer not to do this, that is totally fine! Just let us know you didn’t get a chance to bring it out.) There is a pitcher with water and a wash bin for brushing teeth/ washing hands in the bathroom. You can empty the wash bin outside when finished using it. We also provide all-purpose soap. Heat The Yurt is well insulated and runs on a propane heater. Please note that propane is not included in your stay and each tank is $25; you can find them under add-ons. Each propane tank will comfortably heat the yurt a night as cold as 30-degree night up to 24hrs. Decide how many tanks you'd like depending how long you are staying or how cold you expect it to be. The Yurt will comfortabl heat freezing nights as well, it just will use propane more quickly. Water We provide a full Berkey full of filtered, clean water from our well with each visit. We also provide a pitcher of water in the bathroom for brushing teeth and washing hands and face. If you are staying longer than two nights, or if you expect for any reason to use more water than provided, we ask that you bring the additional water with you, keeping in mind it is a short (4-minute) hike from parking to the Yurt. In some cases with enough notice we may be able to provide additional water for your stay for an additional charge. Kitchenette We provide a Berkey full of filtered water, an electric kettle, a mini fridge and freezer, a microwave for use during your stay. We provide a gas Cuisinart Grill for use on the deck. If you plan to use the grill, please do a $10 mini-propane add-on so we can make sure there is fresh propane provided. We also provide cups, wine glasses, a French Press for coffee making, and compostable plates and bowls. Please do not put the plastic plates and mugs in the microwave. Please throw any compostable food into the compost bin or compost bag provided in the kitchenette and empty it into our large outdoor compost bin at the end of each day. Every time you use the outdoor compost, please cover what you have disposed of with either leaves or the hay provided in the center bin. Please never leave any food in the Yurt for more than one day that isn’t sealed in an airtight container. Please do not put meat or dairy products in the compost. If you bring meat or dairy products into the Yurt, we ask that you take any meat or diary trash out with you and dispose of it elsewhere. We have provided trash bags for this purpose. Please keep any meat and dairy products and trash in airtight sealed containers in the Yurt until you are able to dispose of them. Shower If you add-on the Shower Setup ($30) we will fill it with water, and provide 2 towels and biodegradable soap. This is an outdoors camping shower enclosed by shower curtains with a dirt floor; it is very rudimentary, but if you add warm water from the kettle it will be nice and warm. Please do not use any of your own products like soap, shampoo, or conditioner in the shower because it will be bad for the forest floor. Trash —-Please dispose of regular trash and recycling in our regular trash cans across from where you park. Walton automatically sorts recycling from trash so both can go in the same bins (we separate our recycling in a different bag just so the trash doesn’t contaminate it, but put it in the same bin as the trash.) —-Compost (fruit + veggie scraps, tea + coffee grounds, toilet bag) gets taken to outdoor compost bin on path to parking and covered with hay or leaves —-Meat + dairy stays sealed in an airtight container when in the Yurt and taken with you when you leave Rules 1) Please remove shoes as soon as you enter the Yurt 2) Please scoop sawdust anytime you use the toilet, and please take the toilet sawdust out to the compost bin once it is 2/3 of the way full or when you leave, whichever comes first. (If you are only staying 1-2 nights and prefer not to do this, that is fine, just please let us know you didn’t get a chance to bring out the toilet compost and our cleaner will take care of it.) 3) Please turn off all electricity, including all lights and heaters every time you leave the Yurt, especially when you end your trip. 4) Please never leave any food in the Yurt for more than one day that isn’t sealed in an airtight container. Please put any compostable food in the kitchen compost and take that compost out to the outdoor compost every couple days, covering the compost with leaves or hay once it is disposed of. Please take meat or diary trash with you when you leave. 5) Please do not put the plastic plates and mugs in the microwave. 6) Please wipe down the grill when finished use, make sure to turn off the gas when done, and please do not bring the grill inside the Yurt. 7) Please don't use any products in the shower except the soap we provide We invite you to relax in our gorgeous yurt in the Western Catskills. The Yurt is equipped with all you need to enjoy the surrounding woods to the fullest, including a wraparound deck with comfortable rocking chairs, small grill, and fire pit. The Yurt is incredibly comfortable in all weather, featuring a pristine compost toilet indoors in a walled-in bathroom, and limited electricity to power lights, the mini-fridge, microwave, electric kettle, and to charge your small devices. A propane heater keeps the yurt cozy even in below freezing temperatures. There is not enough electricity to charge or use devices larger than a laptop, and no running water, though you will be provided with two gallons of drinking water and water in the bathroom for washing up, as well as an outdoor shower that you can add hot water to from our kettle for a lovely warm experience. Stock the fridge with beers and stargaze through the dome as you sleep surrounded by wilderness. The property is on 8 private acres but please note that there may be another group visible 500 feet away. The yurt is 12 minutes from several adorable small towns as well as other local attractions like hiking, tubing to Muddy River Brewery, excellent fishing and restaurants, small bookstores, and more. Please note some additional costs: Propane tanks are $25/ gallon. In Summer or Spring you may want to go without, or to add one to your trip in case of a surprisingly cool night (recommended since we are in the mountains.) In the coldest nights, you may need one tank per night, depending of course on the weather as well as whether you will be using the tanks just at night or during the day as well. A mini-propane for the grill is $15 Additional guests (over 2 people) are $20/ guest/ night and we will set up an additional bed (or beds) for you. A bundle of firewood is $15 Any guest is welcome to use the shower if they bring in their own water, biodegradable soap, (other products are not permitted) and towels. If you would like us to fill the shower for you (you will top it off with hot water from the kettle when ready to use) and provide 2 towels and biodegradable soap, the cost is $25. Please keep in mind that the yurt is a 4-minute hike from the parking spot, so you'll want to pack light

We had such a nice time… sleeping to the sound of rain, thunder, and owls. We did see some stars too! The heater kept us nice and toasty as well.

Wonderful stay

Glamping Yurt in Western Catskills

My fiancee and I had a fantastic time at this lovely yurt! We had the whole place to ourselves, it felt very private and secluded. Sarah was extremely communicative and beyond helpful in making us feel welcomed.

10/10 clamping experience

Glamping Yurt in Western Catskills

This was our first glamping experience and we would absolutely do it again! The yurt and surrounding grounds were beautiful and peaceful. The yurt itself was very clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the amenities were easy to use.

Glamping Yurt in Western Catskills

Great stay at Sarah’s Yurt. The yurt had all you needed for a great glamping experience. Having the compost toilet inside was such a convenience. The heaters kept the yurt comfortable and the microwave and refrigerator made the stay nicer. Sarah was very easy to communicate with and was very helpful. As stated you do have a 4-5 minute walk from the parking spot and can be a bit muddy in the rain, but just be prepared and you’ll have no problem. Was very peaceful and would love to return soon.
