I grew up on this land hiking the gorge, playing in waterfalls and riding horses in the pasture. After traveling throughout Europe, the Middle East and India and living in San Francisco I came back home to build a house here so my children could also experience the beauty of living close to nature. Family members helped to build the yurt which originally served as the school house for my children's gardening program. My dad and I are avid gardeners and orchardists. It's our pleasure to offer warm hospitality to travelers seeking a unique yurt experience! Learn more about this land: Climbing Vine Cottage is a custom-designed yurt nestled in an organic vegetable and perennial flower garden near our home. The yurt features a fully equipped, eat-in kitchen (includes chocolate and freshly roasted coffee) with seating for 6. The bathroom is stocked with towels, local soap, shampoo, etc. Sleeping accommodations include a lovely master bedroom (full size bed) with flat screen tv for dvds, fold out futon bed in the living room (full size) and two twin beds in the loft. The yurt stays cozy in winter months with a thermostat-controlled wood pellet stove (pellets are provided). The stone patio offers outdoor dining, a gas grill and a fire pit. There's a path through the wildflower field to a beautiful nature preserve which connects to Van Buskirk Gorge with many waterfalls. Guests are welcome to gather vegetables from the garden and fruit at the orchard. Sometimes our hens have eggs you can collect. High speed wireless internet is also included.Climbing Vine Cottage is a custom-designed yurt nestled in an organic vegetable and perennial flower garden near our home.

This may be my favorite place I have yet to stay! the yurt is fully furnished and with an entire bathroom and kitchen! Michelle is one of the friendliest hosts I've yet to encounter and makes you feel right at home! Unique Garden Yurt is only 15 minutes from Ithaca NY, the perfect spot that's close to the city but enough outside that you feel like you're in your own world! It was the perfect winter get-away and I cannot wait to hopefully return in the spring! The wood-pellet fireplace makes the yurt feel oh so homey. Like you're in a fairytale. I wish I could have stayed longer!
