It was my wife's birthday this month and this vacation was one of her presents! It was a short weekend getaway, but well worth it. One of the best parts was that we were able to bring Noah and the puppy we are puppy-sitting. We love yurts and want to build some eventually, so we thought staying in one would be a great idea! I can't even begin to write about how tranquil it was! Just the round shape alone has a peaceful vibe that you will not find in a typical square home. Spiritually speaking, living in a round home keeps energy flowing and negative energy cannot get trapped. The round shape also makes your living space feel big and open! If you want to see video that I took I added some to my highlighted stories on Instagram.
This yurt has everything we want, and it was nice to see it in real life versus pictures online. It had a full bathroom with a claw foot tub. I liked that the toilet and sink were in a separate space and closed off. I made sure to take multiple bubble baths while we were there! The kitchen was equipped with everything from a full size fridge, dishwasher, and full size gas stove. This yurt wasn't off-grid, which most yurt dwellers want, but we didn't mind. Personally I want solar power for ours, but we will definitely have a septic tank for a full working bathroom like this one. The water for the yurt is gravity fed from a near by spring and it tasted delicious!
Being in a yurt in the green mountains of Vermont is a magical experience. I was able to just sit and close my eyes and meditate, and listen to all of nature. I needed that more than ever.
