The Wood Turtle Yurt

A round canvas yurt with a wood stove at its centre and screen walls open to the meadow. Named for the wood turtle, a threatened Wisconsin native. Summer stays only.

The stay

Round walls, a wood stove, and the meadow

The yurt is the softest place to sleep on the property — canvas and screen, a stove in the middle, and rugs underfoot. The walls open to the wildflowers, and at dusk the whole thing glows from within.

Because it's canvas and screen rather than timber, the yurt is a summer stay: we open it in May and close it at the end of September.
