A great farm and vacation stay!
Hello! Beautiful farm, incredibly friendly owners. A pond is right across from the super cozy yurt. There’s picnic tables to use as well as a grill. Lots of walking on and around the farm. We were greeted by Erica and Mark and they happily showed us around the farm and made sure we were comfortable. We loved the wood stove in the yurt. The farm stand has local bread, honey and Produce. And you can get great maple lattes from Mark. The yurt is so close to the main farm but also super private. We were pleasantly surprised with a memory full size bed, a futon and a twin bed for kids. A table and bedside tables. The woodstove makes it super cozy. The outhouse is super clean with a washing station right next to it. All you gotta do is bring water and your flashlights and you’re good to go! A great place to unplug and relax. There is a great Diner down the road and a wonderful walking trail too. We can’t wait to go back for another stay and come back for the blueberry season as well.

Very nice stay
Stayed here this past week. The hosts are very friendly. The Yurt was really cool. Plenty of space. Animals were cute and funny. Especially enjoyed the blueberries and corn that were being sold from the farm. Plenty of drivable hikes and outdoor things to do in the area.

Peaceful retreat in West Pawlet, VT
We had a lovely one-night stay at the farm. It was perfectly located between Tanglewood and Burlington, VT. The yurt itself is well kept and spacious. There will soon be an outhouse next to the yurt, but for the moment, it was a quick walk to the portapotty. In the morning, my husband took a kayak out on the pond while I introduced myself to the goats, sheep, pigs, and chickens before visiting the farmstand. If only the rooster wasn't so eager to greet the morning!

magical time and great night sleep
We had an incredible experience at Kinder Way Farm and Animal sanctuary. The yurt was cozy with a very comfortable bed and bedding. It is set back on the property and very private. The pond was steps away. We had fun kayaking and sitting by the fire stargazing. The farm tour was so fun and informative. It made me want to spread the word so more people know about this special farm and can stay here to help support the cost of care for the sanctuary animals. We also caught the tail end of picking from their blueberry fields. Everything about our stay was magical. Erika put so much care into creating an inviting and independent space and hosting.

What a treat to stay in the Yurt at The Kinder Way Farm. It was private, beautiful and had everything we needed. I loved cooking overlooking the large pond and roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. My daughters loved the boat rides and visiting all the farm animals. Great hosts!

An Unforgettable Yurt Experience!
Our stay in the yurt was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning decor. The yurt was beautifully adorned with cozy furnishings, vibrant textiles, and charming rustic touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The accommodations were incredibly comfortable and private. The yurt provided ample space for our young family to relax and unwind. The beds were plush and inviting, ensuring a restful night's sleep for everyone. We also appreciated the thoughtful amenities, such as the tea set, lots of seating, lots of water toys, and perfect for family bonding time. One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional hospitality of our hosts. They were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. From providing local recommendations to ensuring we had everything we needed, their kindness and attentiveness truly made a difference. We loved that the yurt was on an animal sanctuary. Seeing and hearing all the farm animals was such a fun addition to the experience. Overall, our yurt experience was a delightful blend of comfort, privacy, and charm. We can't wait to return and create more wonderful memories in this enchanting retreat!
