Welcome to Longview Yurt nestled in the Shenandoah mountains! This is our family retreat we use to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. It's a wonderful opportunity to disconnect from screens and reconnect with those around you. The yurt has been such a beautiful opportunity for us to simply relax that we decided to share it with like-minded nature-lovers! It is surrounded by nature with a gravel road running along one side of the property and a stream running along the other. The stream is technically on our neighbor's property but you can hear the calming sounds of the water running over the rocks as you relax near the picnic table or further down the property near the tree swing. The yurt is the perfect balance between comfort and camping. There's electricity, mini-frig and coffee maker, actual beds for sleeping, and plenty of space indoors to spread out for a meal or play a board game. However, please note there's NO running water so bring your own for drinking and washing dishes used. Fans are used for cooling the yurt in the summer months; there is no AC. There are plenty of outdoor adventures to be had nearby including Saint Mary's Wilderness (personal favorite!), Crabtree Falls, White Rock Falls, and Goshen Pass Natural Area Preserve. Also worth noting is Rockbridge Vineyard & Brewery is just 3 miles away!

We had a fantastic night in the Yurt! The decor and vibe are peaceful and beautiful, there are plenty of amenities and ways to stay warm, and it is very private despite being right next to a road. It was the perfect getaway for Thanksgiving! We did not have any phone signal at all, but we were prepared for that because Kelly warned us. We will likely be back soon!

We had a great weekend at the Yurt. We are able to check out Season’s Yield Farm nearby for their bread day and enjoyed listening to all of the birds while out on the patio, I even heard an owl a few times at night! The yurt is well equipped and communication with Kelly was very easy, however service is extremely spotty so I would recommend downloading the map of the area on google ahead of time prior to visiting. The driveway is steep, but luckily since there was no ice or snow my sedan managed just fine.

Nice Yurt, it looks just like the pictures and had plenty of space for our family of four. Grill, fire pit and a, very clean, port a potty outside. Plenty of heating for the colder months and a nice kitchen area with a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, hot plate, pans, plates and silverware. Cell service was spotty so download any music you want to listen to before going or bring a radio. There is a road that goes right by the yurt but maybe 10 cars drove by day. I could only see one house from the yurt but that was through the trees and quite a distance away. The ride to and from the interstate was about 10 minutes of winding road, passing cute houses here and there. Happy we went!

Splendid Adventure
The yurt was exactly as pictured and expected! It provided a splendid balance of camping while having the creature comforts. It is tucked in your own private valley surrounded by beautiful trees (we went for the fall leaves)! While it is next to a “road” it’s a small 1.5 lane country road that we say MAYBE 5 cars a day. You are within 30 minutes of countless adventures, vineyards, hiking, apple orchards, shopping etc! The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating! I simply can’t say enough good about this slice of heaven! If you are looking to disconnect from tech (little to no Verizon signal) and reconnect with nature this is the spot for you!!!!!

Magic
Unfortunately we got to the yurt after dark, but that lead to waking up to a wonderscape. I wish I could have stayed longer to explore. But the night with no cell service was freeing, cosy, and simply magic.
