Mostly wooded, this 7.2-acre property features rolling hills and a stream. The woods include groves and unique spaces to explore, and by 2026 the paths will be more fully formed for easier access. The hills throughout the property provide beautiful views, and the landscape is alive with ferns, moss, deer, pollinators, trees, and plants. Thanks to the excellent air and water quality, salamanders and toads also thrive here—though they may take a little searching to spot. During the day, the dappled light makes the site feel magical. The campsite includes a furnished yurt with a bed, fold-out couch, chair, table, and beverage bar for coffee, tea, and water. Propane burners and utensils are provided for cooking, along with an open-fire grill (removable from the fire pit if needed). The outhouse features a composting toilet, a wash area for hands and face, basic hygiene products, and potable water. Additional potable water is also available in the yurt. A dining table with chairs is provided, and plenty of firewood and kindling are stocked for your stay. Solar lights along the trail, on the outhouse, and on the yurt create a warm, cozy atmosphere at night. This property is conveniently located within 20 minutes of the UNESCO World Heritage Hopewell Mound sites, Legend Valley, and Buckeye Lake (30 minutes), as well as OSU Newark, Denison University, the Longaberger Basket Building, and Dawes Arboretum. Grocery stores and restaurants are nearby, with a gas station and mini market just half a mile down the road. Columbus city center is about a 45–50 minute drive. The drive here follows scenic country roads, so please be mindful of winding turns and local wildlife along the way. While visiting, you may hear or see our chickens and pups, though they stay close to the house.Yurt Site sits at the bottom of rolling hills next to a creek, surrounded by trees. This yurt has a bed to sleep two and couch that unfolds to provide more sleeping for either 1 adult or two small children. It has it's own outhouse, firepit, dining area with plenty of room for an additional tent or two. The site is mostly secluded. Yurt is perfect for a couple, a couple and 2 children, or three adults to sleep. If there are more guests, there is room to pitch a tent or two. Tents can be rented for $30/night if needed.

Yurt in the woods by stream
My wife and I had a great one night stay here. They provided all we needed to cook a great meal over the fire and had plenty of privacy nestled in the woods. The host provided clear instruction on how to navigate to the site and wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Yurt in the woods by stream
We had a wonderful time camping on Maryam’s beautiful property. I booked the site for a bachelorette party weekend with old friends, so there were about 10 of us, and this was an excellent choice. The guest of honor stayed in the yurt, which was clean and well decorated. The bathroom by the yurt site was clean and peaceful, a much more substantial structure than what we were expecting. There’s a loop you can hike through the property and a highlight for me was roaming around with my coffee, noticing the different wildflowers and birds. Our hosts were available to respond to our needs but also very respectful of our space. Everything was clean and well kept and the spot was easy to find. My friends and I had a lovely and connective time together and are already planning to meet here again in the future.✨☄️🪐
