Your yurt overlooks Tamarack Lake. You will have privacy tucked away in the pines with your own setup of kitchen, picnic area, fire pit, and wood fire tub. A hand pump well with delicious clean water is available as well as a personal composting toilet within view of your yurt, through the trees. Our cabin is about 80 yards away and we are always happy to answer questions and lend a hand. Your yurt comes with a small kitchen that includes a two burner stove, grey water sink, pots, pans, dish ware, and utensils. French press, kettle, coffee and tea are provided. You are also welcome to use the outdoor wood fired cooking set up. The yurt has a wood fire stove that keeps the space toasty year round. Firewood is included for your stay. There is no electricity or running water but we provide a lantern and water inside the cabin. We have a small cast iron wood fired tub that overlooks the lake just outside your yurt! If interested let us know and we can assist. This is a great location for each season. With your booking you will have access to the canoes and our dock. Tamarack Lake is wonderful for fishing panfish, pike, and smallmouth. Come fish any season! You can enjoy yourself exploring via canoe or relaxing with a book at our dock! With nearly 10,000 acres of state land out the backdoor and many trails, adventuring can always be done no matter the season. We enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, backcountry xxsking, and hunting depending on the time of year. It is a big property, but sometimes there are crafting classes, such as basketry, wild food education, hide tanning, etc. While most weekends are quiet around here if you’re looking for privacy feel free to check in with us to make sure we are not hosting classes during your stay. We are looking forward to having you at the lake! Also there are more pics on Instagram @hex_and_strand Thanks =)Your yurt overlooks Tamarack Lake.

Wonderful yurt experience

This was a great stay, first time using Hipcamp. The yurt is amazing and removed enough for privacy. Zac and maddy are amazing hosts, and I can’t really imagine how it could have been better. It’s rustic, but that’s the point. Put in the work and have a bath, it’s worth it. Planning on going back!

You gotta check it out!

What a gem of a place and a people! 11/10 would recommend! For starters, Zac and Maddy are so hospitable and friendly and just seem like incredible people who choose to live intentionally on the land, the type of people you walk away from wondering: "how can I be more like them?". We went fishing (using their canoe) during our stay and they shared their fishing knowledge (including how to clean fish). That was such a gift! The yurt was incredibly cozy and had a nice window view of the lake. Perfect for a partially rainy weekend too! What are you waiting for? Make that reservation!

The yurt was amazing, it stayed nice and warm in there with the wood stove. The views of the lake were beautiful. We ran out of time to make it down to the canoes. I was a little leery about the compost toilet, but it was clean and well maintained. It took some work to get the fire going for the cast iron tub but once we got it going, it worked well. There were public trails just up the road. The hosts’ house was a little closer to the yurt than I expected but probably would feel more private in the summer when all the trees filled in. Overall it was nice and peaceful.

May not be correct to rate the stay as we didn’t actually make it. That being said, zac and maddy were incredibly gracious in their efforts to set us up and give good directions to get to their location. No doubt in my mind the stay would have been everything expected, probably more.

Gorgeous Lakeside Retreat

We had a beautiful stay at Zac and Maddy's place! The yurt is amazing -- tidy, cute, well-stocked, one-of-kind. The wood stove kept it warm even on a frigid January day. Water from the hand-pump well was pristine. We even fired up the outdoor bathtub and had an incredible relaxing bath under the tall pines and bright moon. Zac and Maddy are wonderful hosts -- warm, generous, and helpful. Staying here was such a breath of fresh air. We'll definitely be back!
