We cannot say enough good things about our stay at North Star Farms yurt! From our arrival and seeing the lovely gift basket and flowers on the dining area table, to the amazing natural beauty of the wildflower fields, to the unique wood fired hot tub, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We highly recommend this to everyone.

Wow ! What an amazing experience.

This experience is for anyone looking to reconnect and recharge their mind, body, and soul.When arriving at North Star farm you are met with adorable sheeps and the smell of the blueberry farm is captivating. A basket of local goods, fresh flowers and some helpful tips await you as you enter the dome. The dome is equipped with all the necessities for a relaxing getaway. The sauna and hot tub both will detox and relax your muscles. As for the views from the porch are indescribable and must be experienced in person. The Kamm family have thought of everything and are wonderful hosts.

Magical stay at Domes in North Star Farm!

We stayed at North Star Farm for 6 nights while in the area for a baseball tournament at Cooperstown All Star Village—just a quick 20-minute drive away. We absolutely loved everything about our stay. We stayed in the Deer Dome, and it was pure magic.Waking up to morning tea with a view of the green mountains and ending the day stargazing under a clear night sky was unforgettable. The dome was peaceful, beautifully designed, and clearly created with intention, thoughtfulness, and meaning. Every little detail felt purposeful and added to the sense of calm and connection to nature.Justin and Cristina, the hosts, were incredibly kind and responsive and will go above and beyond to make your stay be the best- they were just a text away anytime we had a question. Their warmth and care of their farm was felt throughout the entire experience. North Star Farm is truly a GEM, and it’s a place that I wish to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and peaceful experience!

Absolutely Perfect Stay – Can’t Wait to Return!

From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found something special. The property was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described—actually even better in person! Every detail had been thoughtfully considered, from the fully stocked kitchen to the comfortable, high-quality linens.The location was perfect—peaceful and private, yet close enough to all the attractions, shops, and restaurants we wanted to visit. We especially loved starting our mornings with coffee on the porch and ending our evenings with stunning sunsets. Don't even get me started on the moon, gorgeous!!!! We hade the pleasure of going out in the blueberry field to pick blueberries. I will be baking muffins. Our host was fantastic—responsive, welcoming, and truly invested in making sure our stay was exceptional. Check-in was seamless, and we felt right at home from day one.We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals, but this one stands out for its charm, comfort, and the care that’s clearly been put into every aspect. We left relaxed, refreshed, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!
