May 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Peaceful retreat The yurt is very comfortable and well-equipped. The setting is very peaceful. Port Perry is only 10 mins away, for buying food or other necessities. I only wish there were better hikes on the property. I wanted to go for an hour long hike, but the trails would lead me back to the yurt after only 20 minutes of walking. ##### Reena K.
