Highlights of the Yurt Cabin

Welcome to The Scarlet Yurt – A Stargazer’s Sanctuary in the Savanna

Perched on a gentle rise in the cultural savanna, The Scarlet Yurt is a 19-foot authentic Mongolian structure offering wide-open views of the valley and endless skies. Hand-assembled with care, this circular retreat invites you into a space that feels both grounded and expansive—a perfect balance between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary comfort.

Inside, the round walls and central dome create a warm, cocooning ambiance ideal for rest and reconnection. Thoughtful off-grid features, including solar-powered lighting and a composting toilet, support a mindful, sustainable stay.

Step outside to a private firepit for evenings under the stars, or wander through open meadows and along forested trails. The Scarlet Yurt is a one-of-a-kind stay for dreamers, sky-watchers, and anyone craving a soulful pause in nature.

Mahdieh - Review from AirBNBMay 2025 - 11 months on AirBNB
“We had a truly amazing stay at the Scarlet Yurt! Milena was an incredibly friendly and welcoming host—she greeted us upon arrival and had already explained every detail beforehand so clearly that it felt like we had already been there before. Everything mentioned on their Airbnb page was exactly as described, if not better. The place was well-prepared, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway in the heart of nature, I 100% recommend this location. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and recharge.”

Jennifer - Review from AirBNBMarch 2025 - Toronto, Canada
“Yurt was creative way to stay in the woods. We stayed in march, still snowfall but not too cold. Separate sauna is a treat. Read amenities so no surprises of what to expect. Overall, a lovely stay. Hosts are friendly and responsive and helpful. Knowing how to start wood fires is useful skill to get sauna and make use of fire pits, wood is provided by hosts. Would recommend to those who are looking for "glamping" type experience. We enjoyed our stay.”

Heather - Review from AirBNBJune 2024 - Hamilton, Canada
“Milena and Johnny are wonderful people. The property is fantastic with lots to do including hiking , relaxing in the sauna, soaking in the beautiful river or down by the springs. The yurt itself is so cool and different I’ve never stayed in anything quite like it ! We arrived much earlier than anticipated and they kindly let us check in and also upon checkout were flexible again. We will definitely be going back. Thank you and see you again someday !”

“Perfect spot for a trip with kids. Short 1 - 2km trails and lots to see... a river, a spring, a ridge, bunnies : ) And it's magical to hear the coyotes howl at night.”
