Secluded & Clean Yurt, nestled in woods and gardens

ENJOY QUIET TIME lounging inside or sprawl out on the deck which offers a great view of the farm and incredible sunsets, convenient for grilling, reading, doing yoga or whatever you might enjoy.

Inside there is a very comfortable, all-natural QUEEN BED mattress in the loft with a window to the sky. As pictured, the loft is accessed by climbing a ladder. The loft is not suitable for children, as there is no railing. On the main floor, there is a convertible QUEEN FUTON, very comfortable as far as futons go. We are happy to make this bed for guests who prefer not to climb the ladder.

There's a large FULL BATHROOM, a SMALL KITCHEN and a WALK-IN CLOSET. Organic LINENS, one set of TOWELS and PILLOWS ARE PROVIDED for all guests.

The KITCHEN has a small oven, stove, mini-fridge with small freezer, toaster oven, pots, pans, dishes, cups, oil, vinegar, basic spices, a french press (with instructions) and locally roasted organic coffee and sugar ready for your use (there is no microwave and we do not provide cream). The gardens just outside the door offer cooking herbs for picking and are a great pair to the LOCAL FOOD OPTIONS you can order listed below.

There is GAS GRILL and outdoor furniture for summer cookouts on the deck. We clean the grill between each guest and provide grill utensils.

There's a small FIRE PIT and HAMMOCK among the trees. WOOD IS PROVIDED.

Heating/Cooling: There is a wood stove available in cooler months, a space heater, a ceiling fan and oscillating fans to ensure your comfort. THERE IS NO A/C, as such, if it is humid outside, it's humid inside. Luckily, summers in the Finger Lakes tend to be mild and nights usually cool down.

The yurt is nestled in the woods at Wellspring Forest Farm, a small diversified operation that produces mushrooms, maple syrup, elderberry extract, and grazing sheep and chickens. There are farm animals, dogs and electric fences around farm animals.

There is .8 mile marked Trail just behind the yurt you are welcome to walk at your leisure. We maintain and mow this trail regularly, although in very wet seasons, maintenance may not be possible. For the privacy of our neighbors, we ask that you do not walk elsewhere on the farm.

We are located just 12 miles from Ithaca, 12 miles from Watkins Glen, and 8 miles Trumansburg, NY, a perfect jumping-off point for the wine, beer or cheese trails, waterfall hikes, restaurant outings, graduation weekend events, the Ithaca Farmers Market and more! Cell phone service can be spotty depending on your provider. Generally texting always works.

We've left a helpful guide to the region for you to peruse during your stay including restaurant info, hikes, swimming spots and more! We can also send you this info once you book if you'd prefer.

Please note:
* We DO NOT ALLOW PARTIES and A MAXIMUM of 4 people and 2 cars total may stay at the yurt. If more cars are needed, please contact us.*

*Dogs may be considered for an extra cleaning fee and deposit.

***We CLEAN with only, non-toxic, all-natural cleaning supplies between each guest and sanitize door handles. We use Seventh Generation laundry detergent and dryer sheets. If "clean" means you want to smell bleach, chemicals, Tide, Bounty or other strong scents, this is not the right stay for you.

Make yourself comfortable in this cabin, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. A kitchenette is outfitted with a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Perfect excape
The yurt was exactly as advertised. We enjoyed the wood burning stove almost every night, played lots of puzzles and games, and enjoyed sightseeing in the area. We would have enjoyed getting to know the sheep and chickens a little (we were visited regularly by two handsome black kitties), but alas we couldn't find a time. Next time!

Yurt Life
Property was exactly as described and had everything we needed for a long weekend stay. Perfect location to hit all the waterfalls, hiking trails, state parks, breweries, wineries, etc. The hosts provide a ton of local knowledge via an FYI binder and tourism brochures. Super quiet setting, with 4-legged welcome wagon in the pens along the driveway. I recommend for a unique stay!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the yurt. Thanks for sharing it with us it brought back happy memories from when we were young hippies living out in Nederland , Colorado. Forgot to mention the whole area up by the yurt is absolutely gorgeous.

Nice hidden spot
Overall stay was great. Instructions were inside were very helpful and it’s in a great location in winery region. Only complaint was furniture and sheets smelled a little musty but that could have been from the rain. Great place to stay if you want to try glamping!

Lovely property and location
We loved the uniqueness of this property and surrounding grounds. The yurt itself was very nice and had a great deck to sit on and watch the stars at night. We walked the nature trail prior to leaving, which was very relaxing. The location was great too, not too far from town either. Overall, a great place to stay.

It was a nice property and place, and I liked the surrounding area. However, it seems my request of having a loaf bed was ignored somehow. I was a bit disappointed as the owner didn’t make the effort to make me feel I was deserving the right treatment by responding to my request. No extra blanket at night either, and the loft bed was not ready as I expected.

Beautiful and quiet property. We enjoyed staying in this yurt while bringing our oldest to college and enjoying the surrounding area with our other 2 children. Yurt had everything we needed to make meals and spend relaxing time together.

Arriving during a major storm, we were met by the owner who advised of precautions if power was lost. Located close to all the wonderful waterfalls and hiking trails of Watkins Glen and other small towns.WiFi service was great. Possibly add a microwave.

Amazing short trip to the Ithaca area. The yurt was lovely, the surroundings were scenic and secluded but still close enough to both Seneca Lake and Ithaca Lake for dinner options. We are already looking forward to our next trip back!
