LAKES REGION YURTS!! The BEST private yurt in the Lakes Region. Book now☺️

That time of year again... almost Spring..
The shower will be going up in April again for the season.
I'm not sure what people are seeing for a nightly cost...I want to let you know it is $145.00 for up to 3 people...$10 per person per night after that...plus $15 per night for firewood payable on arrival. Please do not bring your own because of insect infestation. You can text me at the number in this ad to book directly or with ANY questions
Don't forget we have the Flat Top grill. You can cook your eggs, bacon, pancakes for breakfast. You can reheat your pizza on it and cook your steaks, chicken etc. You can text me to book directly at 603-630-8152. We try and supply pretty much anything you'll need for essentials. Only things you need to bring are towels and soap for the awesome full hot/cold shower (warm weather only), your food and something to keep it in. Please don't hesitate with any questions... Thank you to all our past, present and future yurt friends. Also, if you bring your pet, we would love for them to be in their own comfy dog bed please or clean blanket for on the furniture...
Thank you so much.🥰🐕🐾
Sincerely, Wendy and Ronn😃🚗....
Don't forget the treats (if you want) for the horses. They love meeting new yurt friends as well. Looking forward to seeing past yurt friends and meeting new ones 🐖🐎. Thank you to all of you!



Our yurt is candle and lantern friendly. We supply plenty of both. There is no electricity. This is the best yurt for relaxing in the woods with no one around and enjoying the coziness. We have gas flat top grill outside and a 2 burner propane cooktop inside. You may also enjoy our beautiful relaxing firepit outback. plenty of trails to walk. There is a $15.00 unlimited firewood fee. We also supply paper plates, paper towels, plastic ware, real knives, 2 gallons drinking water etc.... You pretty much only need to bring your food and something to keep it in.

If you want to check out the best yurt around... This is it! Our yurt is the finest in NH.
You can enjoy our awesome yurt with the cozy Woodstove on the cooler nights . We have our cozy woodstove to keep you warm. 😉
Our yurt is handicap accessible yet out in the wilderness. It sleeps 5. We have a bunk bed, a full size futon and a brand new over sized twin cot. Just bring a sleeping bag for extra comfort for the cot if you want extra padding. All fresh bedding is included. There are games, coloring, books, Lincoln logs etc.. for the kiddos and adults as well. All that good ole fashioned fun. We include pots, pans, utensils, condiments, salt, pepper, etc... you really just need to bring your food and a cooler to keep it in.
Come stay at NH's most relaxing yurt and visit amenities such as Alton Bay for fishing, Ahern State Park for more trails... after walking our great selection from the 🛖😀....Wolfeboro NH for shops and sit by Lake Winnipesaukee while enjoying a meal or ice cream at Alton Bay. Watch the Mount Washington boat or take a ride on it in the warm weather. Gunstock Ski Area for Summer and Winter activities. Hike the popular Mt. Major and others. Go kayaking minutes away at River Run on Merrymeeting only 2 miles away. We are a half hour away from the Pavilion in Gilford. Enjoy great arcade games and bowling on those rainy days at Funspot at Weirs Beach NH. Take your furry family members to the water at Merrymeeting on rt.11, Liberty Tree Park, Allison Beatty and others. Come enjoy the beautiful yurt setting and relax, recoup and
de-stress! We also have walking trails to enjoy.
You'll be glad you checked it out!
We also know that people enjoy a cocktail every now and then. We have had some unfortunate times with guests who apparently overdid and ask that you respect the hard work that we have put into our Yurt property and if drinking, drink responsibly (: Thank you... One more thing we unfortunately have to ask... My husband works hard at keeping the awesome outhouse clean and smell free. We would GREATLY appreciate it if EVERYONE would walk those few steps to use the outhouse instead of urinating out the door or anywhere else besides the outhouse. It's unfortunate I have to mention these things but circumstances arise 😑🙄😳
Pets upon approval! PLEASE let us know if you are thinking of bringing a pet. Thank you to all! We DO SINCERELY APPRECIATE your business. 😊
In case you ever need our mailing address, we had to change it because of theft to a PO Box.
So it is....

Family friendly fun!

We loved our stay in the yurt! Our 5 and 3 year old were delighted with everything. We explored, made a fire and when it came time to pack up, there were toys and art supplies that kept the littles occupied! We would love to stay again.

Amazing unplugged trip!

Wendy was very responsive and really helpful before and during the trip! We got there really late but she was there to show us where to go down the trail. It is really deep in the woods and it is so quiet! Just what we needed! Our dog enjoyed her first camping trip and explored the area. The yurt was cozy and had everything you needed. The flat top was the best for breakfast! It was an amazing experience and we will be back!

Perfect size and location for a night away!

The yurt was nicely tucked away in the woods which our pups loved. The outhouse was clean and although we didn't end up using the shower, fire pit or grill it all seemed to have everything we could have needed. I recommended to all my dog lover friends who are looking for the glamping experience. Great place!

Fun woodsy getaway

Our stay at the Yurt was short but fun. I visited in winter with a group of 4 and it was a great place to cook a simple meal and enjoy each other's company away from it all. Our host was so kind and helpful giving us ideas of activities in the area and having the yurt warm and welcoming ready for our arrival. We look forward to visiting again in the summer.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Pinkham

Host profile image
My husband, son and I purchased the yurt used. It was in a wooded setting accessible only by our ATV and small trailer. There are over 100 boards in the floor alone which all had to be numbered for "easier" reassembling. We loaded as much as we could on the 4x8 trailer hauled it with the ATV out the tote road to a 20' trailer where we off loaded and headed back for the next load. We did quite a few trips on a 90 degree day before it was ready to be hauled back here to off load at our property and reassemble. We love it and love to share the peacefulness. We hope all our past and present yurt friends enjoy it as well!

Why they chose this property

My husband and our son Benn had cleared a site years before to build a cabin which never happened. We came across the yurt opportunity and decided it would be a GREAT spot to set up the yurt instead.

What makes this property unique

Family run business who appreciates their yurt friends.
