The most magical honeymoon
This yurt was absolutely PERFECT for our honeymoon! My husband and I stayed here for 2 days and 3 nights, and not only was it absolutely gorgeous and secluded, Bill is so hands on and helpful, his kindness made this experience infinitely better. We can’t wait to plan our return trip!

Cute and eclectic. The only thing we had to complain about was, it was freezing in there with only a small space heater to warm us in November… it was cold!!

Amazing Magical Place
Absolutely love the yurt and the surrounding property! Bill was an excellent host and I made good friends with the Yurt cat that roams the outside of the property. Took a nice stroll around the property while sipping on some excellent coffee. Ran into Bill during my stroll and had a very pleasant conversation! If you’re looking for a peaceful and positive energy space to rest your weary soul, this is the place for you!!

Interesting Unique Experience
My first VRBO booking, booked for wife's birthday and to eat at nearby Claysville Store. Address took us right to owner's property driveway, signs posted The toilet is a vault, but it is uniquely decorated and clean. Take time to look at the decor and read all the notes left by prior guests. Fall would be nest time to visit.

The perfect getaway!
We had such a cozy and memorable stay! What was planned as a rest stop between 2 family get-togethers became the highlight of our weekend! The yurt was so warm, welcoming, and well-appointed! The personal touches and care Bill put into the details make it stand out beyond the unique structure. We can’t wait to come back when we can stay even longer!

Great stay!!
My husband, sister in law & brother in law all stayed at Bill’s Yurt. It was great! We had plans to go to the Missouri State penitentiary for a ghost hunt/tour. Bill was great at making check in easy, his directions were spot on, he gave recommendations for places to eat & even left a little note in the yurt with chocolate which we all thought was the sweetest thing. This was honestly one of the most laid back VRBO stays all of us had stayed in. Bill literally made everything so easy & communication with him was even easier. If we ever come back to the area we will definitely be trying to stay there again.

What a brief blissful stay - must stay longer next time
Our arrival was just after dusk, and the yurt was lit up and welcoming. Cleopatra the cat greeted us just after our host Bill pointed us down to the road to the yurt. I realized that a cat visit was just the ticket after a six hour drive. The yurt is beautifully appointed and super comfortable. The night sounds of the forest were wonderful, and having Cleopatra keep me company in the hammock on the deck soothed my jangled travel nerves immensely. My sister arrived day two to attend a concert at the CRMU Amphitheater with me which had wonderful weather and then - big bonus - when we returned to the yurt we enjoyed an overnight thunderstorm with that big beautiful skylight. It was magical!

An interesting and quaint little property. It was fun discovering all the little treasures that make this property one of a kind. It had all the comforts of home…well except a flush toilet. But even the outhouse was nice. A quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

Great get away
We stayed only 1 night, and the yurt was charming, and clean and everything was as advertised. The deck was great-- very relaxing to sit amongst the trees. Location was perfect for a visit the Elder Blossom View winery in New Bloomfield--a fun place, open only on weekend evenings, for music and elderberry drinks and products. Hope to come back and visit again soon!
