If you do have to utilize the futon for sleeping, I suggest bringing a mattress pad. Otherwise it was a great weekend getaway! ##### Rae W. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### PETE B.

We were visited by the farm animals. Watching the kids (baby goats) run and play in the yard was great. And location was easy to find only 5-10 minutes from town. Highly recommend taking a small vehicle we have a basic 2016 ram 1500 and just bearly made it through the gate, with mirrors folded in just a few inches to squeeze through the tree and fence just before the gate. ##### Christopher Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy May 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We had the absolute best time staying here. Thank you so much for renting us your glorious yurt. Everything was clean, well stocked and just perfect. We loved “talking” with your goats, seeing the chickens and walking along with your friendly and curious llama (alpaca perhaps?) ##### Amy Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy J. Sep 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 50th anniversary in a little piece of Heaven One of our favorite places we have ever stayed. You could feel the love that was put into this yurt. During the night we woke up to sparkles of moon beams coming in the skylight above. What a special place to get close to your spouse, nature and God. ##### Cathy J. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Roberta D. Jul 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location for a relaxing night under the stars. Great property, friendly hosts, loved the goats and other animals. The squeeze between the fence and the tree entering the property was a little sketchy, glad we had a rental. ##### Roberta D.

Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Landscape I liked the solitude and peaceful surroundings on the property and in the yurt.

Jan 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect if you like camping on a farm. Perfect get away for 3 or 4. My 2 boys and I had such a good time hanging out and just enjoying time together. It's very quiet, just big enough for us. The Internet/signal is spotty but it makes for disconnecting. We made puzzles and played uno instead of trying to watch TV. The animals are nice to see and pet and if you get to feed them that's a treat too. ##### Alex R. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brandon R. Feb 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfection I recently stayed in a yurt that exceeded all expectations. The cozy yet spacious interior, coupled with its picturesque surroundings, provided an unforgettable experience. The attention to detail in design and amenities showcased the host's commitment to guest comfort. From starry nights viewed through the skylight to the view and interactions with the farm animals, every element contributed to a truly fantastic stay. Highly recommend for those seeking a unique and comfortable retreat. ##### Brandon R.

The kids loved the animals! It was hard for them to just look at the beautiful animals. Our Tahoe couldn't fit through the gate and the owners and their neighbors were nice about letting us use their driveway. We plan on returning in November. ##### Elle Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan F. Apr 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect. Wish we could've stayed longer. Our stay at The Hive was perfect! It was easy to find with the provided directions even in the dark. Though unlocking the gate and walking down to the yurt in the dark and hearing "moo's" behind us was slightly intimidating. (Only if you've ever had cows chase you before probably) The yurt was warm and welcoming, it was clean and everything was just as pictured. We couldn't have asked for more. The goats greeted us as we unloaded our truck so it was nice to have our own welcoming party. The next morning the kids were excited that the gates to the animals were open and they got to see the chickens and ducks more closely. Had it not been raining, I'm sure the goats would have been more social too. The kids just wanted to stay longer! It was a peaceful, quiet, place to stay during our trip of busy city happenings. Thank you for sharing it with us! ##### Megan F.
