The space

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 hatha sesh 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 large sleeper couch in the living area and a king-size sleeper sofa in the loft. 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, Google smart speakers, a dedicated workspace, a pool table, and a variety of board games. With respect to outdoor activities, please know that we also offer e-bike rentals that allow you to reach the national park in approximately 15 minutes.

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.

OUTDOOR LIVING: large deck with 7-person jacuzzi hot tub, propane grill with rotisserie kit, and propane gas fire column. On the right side of the yurt, you will find a fire pit, cornhole game, and archery stand.

House access

Guests will enjoy access to the entire home with the exception of the basement. A full welcome guide with house rules and area information is provided after booking.

IMPORTANT:

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.

Cell service

Shenandoah Yurt is located in a remote, rural location. There is no cell service in the yurt, but guests will find weak coverage at the entrance of the Skyline Lakes community.

Access/driving conditions

Please be advised that Shenandoah Yurt is a mountain property. Tanners Ridge Road is paved and maintained, but as the Skyline Lakes community features gravel roads with steep grades, we highly recommend driving an all-wheel or four-wheel-drive vehicle in wet conditions. From November to April, we strongly advise driving a four-wheel-drive vehicle equipped with chains. While there are plenty of dry days during those months as well, there is simply no way to predict this in advance. 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.

Property cameras

Cameras are located outside to help ensure guest safety. However, please know that there are no cameras inside the yurt or in the hot tub area for your privacy.

Property capacity and guest restrictions

Only guests included in the booking record are allowed on the premises, and violations of this rule will result in the immediate eviction of all visitors without a refund. Therefore, it is important to include the correct number of guests in the reservation, so please update accordingly if that number changes after your initial booking. The number of guests is strictly limited to 8, requiring that 4 people sleep on sleeper sofas.

All are permitted, but loud music is not allowed, and all visitors must depart the property by 10pm. Please note that the person who books the reservation is responsible for any damage incurred from outside visitors.

Illegal substances and activities

Illegal substances are strictly prohibited and grounds for immediate eviction from the property. Guests agree that any drug use or any use of the property in any unlawful purpose or violation of any law or ordinance on or about the property will immediately terminate the occupancy and serve as grounds for immediate eviction. Guests shall be liable for any and all costs incurred by the host, and a refund will not be provided for the remaining balance of the stay.

Property quiet hours

Our property quiet hours of 10pm to 6am are dictated by county ordinance and enforced by local police. If law enforcement responds to a noise complaint, every individual on the property may face a misdemeanor criminal charge and be subject to a county fine of $250. Failure to abide by the county noise ordinance will result in the immediate termination of the stay without a refund.

Smoking

Smoking and vaping are NEVER allowed inside or anywhere outside the house. A $500/day penalty will be incurred if any sign or smell of smoke is present following guest check out.

Fireworks are strictly prohibited on the grounds, and guests who violate this rule will be required to vacate the property without a refund and face subsequent fines.

Additional cleaning fees

At the sole discretion of the host, an additional cleaning fee of $90 will be incurred if additional clean-up is required that rises above the standard cleaning process.

Damage payments

Any damage to property or furnishings that exceeds the deposit amount will be billed to the guest and reported to Airbnb.

Pass-along fee

If a guest violates Airbnb house rules and thereby triggers a refund/discount for the next guest scheduled to visit the property, the offending party will be responsible for any loss of income incurred by the host.

Trash

A garbage bin enclosure is located outside the yurt. Please leave all trash bags inside the trash bins, and always ensure the garbage bin enclosure is properly locked. Due to abundant wildlife, absolutely no trash should be left anywhere outside.

Guests acknowledge and accept the risks inherent in the use of the bow. Guests voluntarily assume the risk of injury, accident, or death which may arise from the use of the bows. By using the archery guests agree to follow all house rules associated with it and release the host from all liability relating to injuries that may occur while using the archery, regardless of whether injuries are caused by negligence. Archery rules and instructions will be provided in the welcome packet after the reservation is complete. Guests are responsible for any damages caused to the archery or equipment.

Waiver of liability for use of hot tub

The guests agree to use extreme caution and care in the hot tub on the premises and to pay any and all repair charges for damage to the hot tub and/or property caused by the guests. Guests further agree that everyone using a hot tub will shower and clean feet upon the use of the hot tub.

Furthermore, the agreement is made that NO oils, bubble bath, soaps, other liquids, or any other harmful materials will be used in the hot tub.
