Other Things to Note:

Please Note – Property Development



Our property is currently in the early stages of creating a unique glamping retreat. At this time, two yurts are fully completed and ready for guests, while several additional yurts are still under construction.



To ensure a peaceful stay, we only open reservations on weekends (Friday–Sunday) when construction is not taking place. No construction work occurs during guest stays.



You may notice some development areas or construction materials in the distance, but the yurts themselves are fully finished, comfortable, and ready to enjoy.



We appreciate your understanding as we continue building what will soon become a special glamping destination. Thank you for being part of the early experience.

Interaction with guests

We tailor our level of interaction to your preference — whether you enjoy privacy or need assistance during your stay. Most communication, including pre-check-in and post-check-in, will be handled conveniently through messaging system.



We are always available if you need anything, while still allowing you to enjoy a peaceful and uninterrupted retreat.
