Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, a peaceful solo retreat, or a nature-filled adventure, our Pondside Yurt is designed to help you slow down, unwind, and reconnect—with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.
The Yurt
Step inside and you’ll find a warm, inviting space complete with a comfortable queen bed, cozy seating area, and a wood stove to keep you toasty on cool evenings.
