About this property

Secluded & Clean Yurt, nestled in woods and gardens

ENJOY QUIET TIME lounging inside or sprawl out on the deck which offers a great view of the farm and incredible sunsets, convenient for grilling, reading, doing yoga or whatever you might enjoy.

Inside there is a very comfortable, all-natural QUEEN BED mattress in the loft with a window to the sky. As pictured, the loft is accessed by climbing a ladder. The loft is not suitable for children, as there is no railing. On the main floor, there is a convertible QUEEN FUTON, very comfortable as far as futons go. We are happy to make this bed for guests who prefer not to climb the ladder.

There's a large FULL BATHROOM, a SMALL KITCHEN and a WALK-IN CLOSET. Organic LINENS, one set of TOWELS and PILLOWS ARE PROVIDED for all guests.

The KITCHEN has a small oven, stove, mini-fridge with small freezer, toaster oven, pots, pans, dishes, cups, oil, vinegar, basic spices, a french press (with instructions) and locally roasted organic coffee and sugar ready for your use (there is no microwave and we do not provide cream). The gardens just outside the door offer cooking herbs for picking and are a great pair to the LOCAL FOOD OPTIONS you can order listed below.

There is GAS GRILL and outdoor furniture for summer cookouts on the deck. We clean the grill between each guest and provide grill utensils.

There's a small FIRE PIT and HAMMOCK among the trees. WOOD IS PROVIDED.

Heating/Cooling: There is a wood stove available in cooler months, a space heater, a ceiling fan and oscillating fans to ensure your comfort. THERE IS NO A/C, as such, if it is humid outside, it's humid inside. Luckily, summers in the Finger Lakes tend to be mild and nights usually cool down.

**Please note DO NOT ALLOW PARTIES. And A MAXIMUM of 4 people and 2 cars total may stay at the yurt. If more cars are needed, please contact us.**

The yurt is nestled in the woods at Wellspring Forest Farm, a small diversified operation that produces mushrooms, maple syrup, elderberry extract, and grazing sheep and chickens. There are farm animals, dogs and electric fences around farm animals.

There is .8 mile marked Trail just behind the yurt you are welcome to walk at your leisure. We maintain and mow this trail regularly, although in very wet seasons, maintenance may not be possible. Because of Covid safety and the privacy of our neighbors, we ask that you do not walk elsewhere on the farm.

Farm Fresh Local Foods items (produced within 8 miles of here!) are available upon request. We'll stock the kitchen with what you order! Pair these with regional beverages and cook up some amazing meals. Food options include harvests from our own Wellspring Forest Farm *maple syrup, *fresh shiitake and oyster mushrooms, Cayuta Sun pastured *bacon and *sausage. Contact us for more details or visit our farm's site.

We are located just 12 miles from Ithaca, 12 miles from Watkins Glen, and 8 miles Trumansburg, NY, a perfect jumping-off point for the wine, beer or cheese trails, waterfall hikes, restaurant outings, graduation weekend events, the Ithaca Farmers Market and more! Cell phone service can be spotty depending on your provider. Generally texting always works.

We've left a helpful guide to the region for you to peruse during your stay including restaurant info, hikes, swimming spots and more! We can also send you this info once you book if you'd prefer.

Beautiful Weekend
We had a great weekend staying in the property. The wood burner was great for a chilly early spring weekend, Elizabeth was very clear and accommodating in her communications making it very easy and everything was just great. My only regret is not booking the third night to stay for the Solar Eclipse and to get to explore the property further. We thoroughly enjoyed the area and the accommodations at the Yurt were perfect for my wife and I!

Finger Lakes Yurt
This yurt is perfectly located to experience all the features of the Seneca and Cayuga Lake areas of the Finger Lakes region...wine tasting, hiking, Watkins Glen, Trumansbug, Ithaca, etc. Nestled into the woods - woods that are beautiful with the fall colors - the yurt was a rustic, but clean and functional, experience not to be missed.

So relaxing
The yurt has a rustic feel in harmony with the land, but with conveniences we've come to need (wifi!). We loved strolling the path nearby, visiting Trumansburg and Watkins Glen. It's a wonderful location, secluded but close to a myriad of activities.

Short stay
Stayed overnight after seeing Steve Hackett at the State Theater in Ithaca. Did not get to check out the grounds because it was rainy and cold. Was a nice place.

About the host

Host profile image
We're part-time farmers/homesteaders. We love our land and this region of abundance and beauty and fun. We spend time hiking, cross country skiing, swimming, working hard and more. We lived in the yurt for 4 years and are excited to have remodeled it to be as comfortable and cozy for visitors as possible. Along with our farm animals, we have two friendly dogs on the property.

Why they chose this property

We love the sunsets, summer breezes, easy access to lots of hiking, Watkins Glen, Trumansburg and Ithaca, and having friends not too far away.

What makes this property unique

We are far from the road, making this place really quiet, safe, secluded and perfect for stargazing.
