**experience notes**
*this property is 100% private, but is close to town You will hear noises from town off in the distance.
*the composting toilet will require you to add wood chips if you’re stay is longer than 2 days, shoot me a message and i’m happy to come and perform this task for you
*the driveway is bumpy and steep, go slow and you’ll have no problems In the winter, it will be plowed, but 4 wheel drive will be required to make it to the top.
*for more privacy in the outdoor shower, drop the vinyl window cover on the outside of the yurt! unless you and you’re guests are into that sort of thing!
*we have access all the other buildings on this property without having a visual line of sight on the yurt entrance or deck You’re privacy is secure and we will not initiate contact! That said, we’re all super friendly and chatty.
