The Wood Turtle Yurt

A canvas bell tent pitched in the meadow behind a tall iron arch, and the only stay on the property with its own power. Named for the wood turtle, a threatened Wisconsin native. Summer stays only.

The stay

Canvas, wildflowers, and the arch

Canvas walls, a futon mattress with a three-inch memory foam pad on top, and the meadow going on in every direction. It sits behind the big iron arch, so you walk in through greenery, and it is the one stay with an outlet of its own.

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