Bold Paths Creek Campsite
Amazing spot for getting a balanced feel of camping and comfort. Great host, and the Internet works good.

Nice spot. Quiet, peaceful and not to remote. Bonna was a great host, had interesting conversations and she even shared fresh corn for dinner.

An interesting experience. The property is lovely and the idea of a yurt is great. The bathroom/shower worked great for us and it was nice to be so close to the river. Overall, it could have been cleaner - one drawer in the kitchen was filled with mouse poop. This made me question the cleanliness of the rest of the place; I was glad I brought my own sheets. Couldn't find new trash bags - it was difficult to understand what we were responsible for and what was provided. The chairs out by the fire pit were broken but we figured out alternatives.

To stay here is to immerse yourself into peacefulness and tranquility. The rushing stream sings to you at just the right volume to not only entice you to wander down it's banks, but also helps to put you to sleep at night. The yurt itself is glamorous as well, with all the comforts of home minus a flushing toilet, but that's really not an inconvenience if you are looking to get away from it all; everything you need for a camping loo is still provided for you.
If you can find an opening on her popular schedule that fits your desires, you won't be disappointed!

A wonderful stay nestled amidst some really gorgeous land. Stayed here in January and was comfortably warm and cozy in the yurt. Bonna is a great host and knows all about the best hikes and day trips around. A really nice retreat to just relax and be.

24' yurt stay
Adorable yurt that was warm and cozy in winter as long as you keep the fire going. Would love to visit in summer and explore the property. Host gave is space but was very attentive to anything we might need.

24' yurt stay
Very rustic, if you want to get away from it all, this is the place to go. Great hiking trails nearby, we stayed In November with cold temperatures and we stayed nice and warm in the yurt thanks to a great wood stove. Bonna was a good host, responding to any needs.

Our stay in Bonna’s yurt was fantastic! It was a beautiful drive into the site, and the yurt had everything we needed. The compost toilet and the indoor shower worked just fine for our needs. Her directions for all the utilities were very clear and thorough. We can’t wait to come back!

This was a great stay! It was a perfect getaway from technology and retreat to connect back to the outdoors. It was a little tough to figure out the directions of the surrounding trails but nonetheless we made the best of everything and enjoyed our time. The biggest downfall was that we could not figure out the hot-water for the shower. We only stay 2 nights so it was not that big of a deal and we let the host know so hopefully it will be fixed for the next guest. Overall, I would recommend this Yurt!

It's a great escape. Very simple and grounding. So cozy and warm in the winter and can't wait to visit in the summer!

This place was amazing! We were a little worried upon entry, some of the elements of the site looked a bit unkempt, and we weren't sure what the weekend would hold. But within minutes, we were greeted ecstatically by Blaire, the resident puppy owned by David of the property. The yurt itself was big and beautiful, it was clean upon entry and stocked with wood, kindling, newspaper, a solar generator (wasn't as effective as we hoped, but did the job), a Coleman grill, propane heater, full tank of propane, as well as bedding, dishes, candles, maps, and everything necessary for a cozy stay. That said ***To enjoy this stay you MUST be experienced in outdoor living i.e. making fires, preparing for inclement weather, staying safe at night, and be extremely environmentally conscious.*** As long as that's not an issue, this place will suit you extremely well for a getaway from the outside world.

24' yurt stay
Staying here was definitely a fun and new experience! The yurts are cozy and warm. Definitely a bit bare boned but if you are here something a little different this is a great spot. Expect to feed a wood fire stove and fetch water from the main house or bring your own. We were grateful there was propane to fire up a Coleman stove but you can also use the wood fire stove for any cooking needs you may have, it will just take a bit longer. The directions are a bit off, so just do your research before you lose service. The yurts are on a large property with a beautiful stream and exploring around is lovely. I would say the whole experience is between camping and glamping! Plenty of wood to go around and to have a campfire yourself. Some of the most amazing stars out there.

Bonna was a very helpful host and answered all my questions promptly. The site was great, and the yurts were nestled in the woods and felt very private. We ended up staying in the 20' yurt (there are two on the property) which faced the creek with beautiful views of the surrounding forest and hills. We had the wood stove working throughout the night and kept it very warm despite the 25 degree temps outside. We also loved how close the yurt was to the Strafford Nordic Center--about a 15 min drive.
One critique I have is there was a bit of confusion when I booked the yurt. I originally wanted the 24' yurt which had a bit more amenities and was nicer on the inside than the 20' yurt. I was told there were people staying in the 24' yurt and another group in the house so the only available space was in the 20 yurt. During our stay we ended up being the only ones there and no other guests ever showed up. I felt disappointed that we had to stay in the 20' yurt while the nicer one was vacant just a couple steps away. Perhaps the guests cancelled last minute, I have no idea. This was just a little confusing because we were anticipating parking our car up the road and carting everything in, (which would have been a big pain) to accommodate everyone, when in fact this was not necessary.
I can't speak for what the 20' yurt looks like in the summer, but in the winter it felt like it hadn't been used or
thoroughly cleaned in a long time. This was fine because we were basically looking at it as a camping shelter with access to wood stove. Make sure to bring plenty of headlamps and lights to illuminate the inside. There were a couple of candles and a kerosene lamp, but all had been low on fuel.
Overall, we had a great time here. Would love to visit again during the summer and spend time hanging out by the river. Thanks Bonna for letting us stay there. Cheers!
