We've been farming here for 22 years, growing 5 acres of vegetables and flowers, all marketed within 50 miles of the farm. The farm sits on 90 acres right up against the Hogbacks and is only 5 miles from quaint Bristol village and tons of outdoor recreation opportunities. Our cozy, private, rustic mountain yurt is a 30’ foot space located in an upper field tucked into a wooded hillside. Views facing east are great for watching the sunrise and a kitchen and outhouse mean you’ve got everything you need to get out of town for a few days.* The location provides a serene, intimate getaway for couples, artists or anyone looking for a bit of mindful downtime and introspection. The yurt is insulated and heated by a wood stove. It is equipped with a full-sized bed, couch, breakfast table with four chairs and night table. Linens included for queen bed, for more than 2 people please byo linens. Surrounding fields are available for tent camping should you want to host a larger event and use the yurt for its kitchen and gathering space (the furniture can be removed). The yurt and its verdant surroundings are great for day-long wellness retreats, sound baths, yoga workshops, art classes and more. This is a perfect relaxation spot for bikers and hikers - Just beyond the yurt you can enjoy, or even help to improve newly constructed mountain biking trails Addison County Bike Club’s members have been working on. Rivers and lakes with swimming holes are an easy drive away, as is the charming mountain village of Bristol, with a fully stocked supermarket, two breweries, restaurants of all price ranges, shops and more. We are 30 minutes from the Burlington International Airport, and the closest Amtrak train station in Rutland is an hour drive. It is best to arrive before sunset. Please do not arrive in the middle of the night.Our cozy, private, rustic mountain yurt is a 30’ foot space located in an upper field tucked into a wooded hillside.

Jill's yurt is a delightful retreat for those seeking a quiet escape surrounded by nature. Guests appreciate the stunning views, particularly the night sky, which is free from light pollution. The yurt itself is described as cozy and well-equipped, providing a comfortable stay even in chilly weather. Some minor issues like the presence of spiders in the outhouse were noted, but overall, the experience is overwhelmingly positive.

The yurt was beautiful and well supplied. We had a lovely, cozy, and quiet trip. The views were gorgeous and there was no light pollution so the sky at night was stunning. The kitchen and supplies were a nice accommodation and made camping out easy.

Great Weekend in the Woods!

We loved “camping” in Jill’s yurt on her organic farm! Although we got a rainy weekend, we made the most of a relaxing and peaceful environment. We’d highly recommend this experience for adventurous and self sufficient campers. Also make sure your car can handle mild off-roading if you want to drive to the site of the yurt.
