Shenandoah Yurt: Hot Tub~Wood Stove~WiFi~EVcharger

Shenandoah Yurt is a one-of-a-kind luxury retreat perched in the serene seclusion of the mountains. You’ll find no compromises with respect to premier cabin-like construction, modern amenities, a hot tub, wood-burning stove, archery, EV charger, sizable elevated deck, pool table, board games and so much more! This extraordinary stay is surrounded by the colorful environs of Shenandoah National Park at an elevation of over 2,500 ft! Experience #YurtLife—just 2 hours away from Washington DC!

Shenandoah Yurt is a custom wooden yurt that is nestled 1 mile away (as the crow flies) from Shenandoah National Park. Constructed using the finest materials and significant attention to detail, this space will invite you and your family and friends to immediately make yourselves at home. Furnished with plenty of modern conveniences, the yurt sets out to provide a unique experience offering comforts akin to those of a chic boutique hotel. Whip up an omelette with the dozen fresh organic local eggs awaiting you, embrace your inner yogi with a morning routine on the large deck, or soak in the outdoor hot tub under a starry night sky—the choice is yours! As our property was designed with nature in mind, we also provide an EV charging station for those in need.

Shenandoah Yurt is best suited for 4 people, as there are 2 bedrooms featuring queen-size beds. However, the yurt can accommodate up to 8 people, with a king-size sleeper sofa in the loft (listed as a bedroom as we have a privacy screen) and a large sleeper couch in the living area. Linens, sleeping eye masks, earplugs, an iron, and umbrellas are all available for your convenience.

Beyond this, the property boasts a dependable climate control system, wood-burning stove, hot tub, WiFi (full disclosure that this is slow and intermittent due to the yurt’s remote location, but we are on the Starlink waiting list to ensure future improvement), and a smart TV with Disney Plus and Netflix. We also have a PlayStation 5 with 4 controllers and various games, smart speakers, a dedicated workspace, a pool table, and a variety of board games. With respect to outdoor activities, please note that guests are welcome to bring their own e-bikes for convenient access to the national park, just a 15-minute ride away.

The yurt boasts a full kitchen complete with an island, dining table, cookware, utensils, refrigerator with icemaker, dishwasher, electric stove, microwave, multicooker/rice-maker, and a Nespresso coffee machine! You’ll have everything you need to engage in your morning and evening rituals, and, of course, wine glasses to sip vino during your afternoon wine and cheese happy hour!

With respect to design, the yurt features an open floor plan living room with vaulted ceilings, windows offering panoramic views, a glass dome, and a loft with a pool table. A washer/dryer combo unit is located on the main level for your convenience.

To help maintain a sparkling clean environment, we kindly ask that guests remove their shoes upon entering the yurt.

Please keep in mind that the house is CHILD-FRIENDLY, BUT NOT CHILDPROOF.

Our yurt is in the woods and thereby surrounded by a variety of wildlife—perhaps even a bear or two. With this in mind, guests must carefully clean up the kitchen every night and securely package all food to prevent pest infestations. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANY FOOD OR TRASH OUTSIDE, WHICH WILL ATTRACT WILD ANIMALS.

The Skyline Lakes is a rustic cabin community, surrounded on 3 sides by Shenandoah National Park, at an elevation of 3,000 feet. It features gravel roads with steep grades. In snowy conditions, we strongly advise driving a four-wheel-drive vehicle equipped with chains. Please take this warning seriously, as the yurt is located in a remote location, and towing is expensive. We do not offer refunds or cancellations due to weather, so familiarize yourself with related expectations and prepare accordingly before you book.
