Catskills Yurt

Description

A largely off-the-grid, truly unique, 420-friendly YURTin beautiful Livingston Manor. A tiny house, albeit a round one with walls of cloth instead of wood, with every conceivable amenity—full kitchen, hot shower, indoor toilet, woodstove, spacious living room, enormous sleeping loft, speakers for your music, excellent wi-fi—thoughtfully arranged to maximize space and ease of use. If 'glamping' is your thing, come and spend a night or two under the stars while sleeping indoors. The yurt is at the end of a shale road on a blueberry orchard. Guests are invited to pick all the fruit they like. The hillside’s high elevation provides an oasis of cooler temperatures during every summer heat wave. The panoramic view of the Catskills from the front porch has to be seen to be appreciated.

While the setting is delightfully off the beaten path, it’s also a short drive to the cafés, breweries, and eateries in the charming village of Livingston Manor. World class hiking, swimming, camping, and fishing is even closer. (Camping and hiking gear provided.)

Perhaps most importantly, our place offers more than a getaway. Guests learn how to tap a spring for their home’s water, the joys of heating with wood, how hygienic and easy-to-use a composting toilet is. A few days on the blueberry patch is both a rewarding glimpse of the sustainable life and an invaluable education in how comfortable a small house can be. If you’re considering procuring your own tiny house, spending time in our yurt will help you decide if such a home is right for you.
