Jun 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Night in a Yurt Was a cozy stay for a chilly night! Great hosts with clear communication, was exactly as stated! Would stay at wacky stays again for sure. Nice clean and comfortable facilities. ##### Craig D. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### alex d. Jul 23, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Yurt stay We think wacky stays with the farm animals is a great concept, especially for children. If choosing again, we would not take the yurt. The mouldy smell was overwhelming - didn't think it was due to the animal hair construction - I have done a lot of rough 3rd world (and 3rd class) travelling and this was not that smell. It was mould. The outdoor kitchen was pretty rugged and not particularly clean, but a fun element for summer. Some things didn't work - one side of electric blanket, lights in outdoor kitchen, doorbell to owner. But the owner was very helpful and the info provided was thorough. Grounds were also quite muddy, but I appreciate it was winter. We were cold with the bedding, which was not the case in other places we stayed. I did love the duck enjoying the night rain - quaaack, quack, quack, quack 🙂 So, avoid the yurt, go in summer, take a torch and your kids will love it. ##### alex d.
