Long Haul Off-Grid YURT!
Off-grid homestead in the Northwood
Our stay in the long-haul yurt was idyllic. Steven greeted us right away. He gave us a tour around the homestead and brought us to the yurt so we could rest after our trek. We spent our first-night organizing, making a fire in the indoor stove, cooking, and relaxing.
The homestead offers walking trails, a freshwater stream, views of their gardens, and construction of new structures that will help with their homestead life.
The yurt offers a comfortable bed, a sink and food prep area, table and chairs, a wood burning stove that has a side attachment so you can heat water for cleaning up, a wood trunk, and shelves.
Recommendations:
Hiking boots for the 2.2-mile trek up the logging road.
Carry all of your gear in a pack as you do not want to be trekking in a cooler.
Water filter so you can collect and filter the spring water for drinking.
Little camp stove so you can cook outside on a warm night. The wood burning stove heats the yurt well. Perfect for fall, winter, and spring, maybe too hot for summer.

Long Haul Homestead A-Frame
My husband and I stayed at the homestead for only a night, but it was an awesome experience! Steven and his family were so welcoming, and his kids are an absolute hoot. We're looking forward to coming back, and bringing friends!

Our stay in the Tiny house at Long Haul Homestead was great! It is the perfect place for anyone looking to get well off the beaten path.

Off-grid Wilderness Homestead
We had a very pleasant stay. They had a a couple hammocks and a fire pit with chairs around it. Access to rain water. I would bring your own fire wood as they use theirs to heat the house in the winter. The family was very nice and accommodating. You will need an SUV or truck to make it down the road to their house.

Long Haul Homestead A-Frame
Steven and his family were very hospitable, showing us around their property and welcoming us to hang around any of it, including a spring, garden, fire pit, teepee, etc. The A-frame was a short walk behind their home in a less-wooded, more open area. They are working towards a self-sustaining lifestyle on their property.
The A-frame was as you would expect for an outdoor camping stay - do not expect a clean, indoor facility. It is not bug proof, however, bugs were hardly an issue and a bugnet was put up for us.
The 2 mile drive in was doable on a *dry* day by a Subaru outback. Ask Steven for more details, but this could be a hike in if it has rained recently or you don't have a high-clearance vehicle.
