Beautiful, peaceful, thoughtfully decorated and stocked. Our family (Dad, Mom, 10 year old daughter and 8 year old daughter) spent one magical night here on our trip to see caverns and the safari. The river, creek, rolling green land, and wildlife are the perfect setting, and the yurt is so comfortable. The bedding is luxurious!
The property was very clean and orderly, not too far from town but a good quiet stay. The owners were clear and organized with check in/out procedures and very good communication.
A lovely spot to connect with old friends - everything exceeded our expectations, from the well-stocked cooking supplies to the thoughtfully-furnished rooms. Close to hiking trails, stunning night sky, and delicious bakery treats.
Comfortable, pretty clean, responsive and helpful management. We had no cell signal, you are completely dependent on the wifi if you need to make phone calls - presumably including emergency services?
Our first time in a round house was a great time. Separate sleeping quarters up in the lift for those comfortable with stairs. The hosts are very accommodating. Be prepared for giant chocolate chip cookies.
Probably the most unique place my family has ever stayed! The Stillhouse Farm Yurt was inviting and welcoming and had all the basic essentials needed for a family. The kids loved the loft area, and there were plenty of beds for our family of 7. The outdoor space and fireplace was a hit. And the baked goods are absolutely delicious. A must-try! Zach and April are wonderful hosts, quick to respond and very accommodating. Looking forward to coming back again!
We stayed here for our daughter's graduation and it was a wonderful respite from the busyness of activities. From the goat herd grazing the property to the stars in the clear night sky to the warm welcome by the property owners and the awesome outdoor pavilion, it was everything we needed and more! Highly recommend!
Description was right on! Baked goods were delicious. Yurt was super clean with all we needed. Kids loved the creek, animals, roasting marshmallow⊠great place to stay!
Our family stayed for one night en route to Washington DC. Beautiful setting, cozy and well appointed accommodation, and brings a real feeling of adventure. Our three kids voted this the best part of our vacation. We all loved it. Highly recommended!
Perfect for our stay!!!! Close to VMI and ideal for us to share with our 20 yr old. Really enjoyed all the delicious baked goods i ordered! Highly recommend! We will be back 100%!
We had never been to a yurt, but this was was so well maintained and a great get away. Fantastic host with everything clearly outlined. Couldnât have asked for a better place to relax!
We had such a fantastic three night trip made more fun with a great stay in the Yurt! The location feels remote and gives you a camp feel with luxuries of a bathroom, ac and a bed. The kids loved finding sheep and seeing deer everyday. We had campfires every night and sat under the stars. The kids built forts in the loft and collected firewood and loved making sâmores. The owners were incredibly responsive to any question and went above the call when we only brought pods for coffee. A Kuerig showed up on a picnic table in an hour! Thank you!!! We highly recommend.
Such a fun place to stay! Super clean and quiet. The complimentary cookies and sâmores station were awesome. And the fresh sourdough bread is worth the price! Would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful 3 day vacations in yurt. Very clean, well stacked, and very responsive hosts. The muffins and breakfast basket were the perfect touch and were very tasty!!! The yurt is in great place, very peaceful, close to a beautiful creek, also close to Lexington and breweries.
Thank you Zach and April!!!
We are already planning to be back!
The yurt was exactly as advertised. It was extremely clean and well stocked with towels, blankets, and other basics. The property was beautiful. We saw a family of deer every day spend time very close to us to eat and play. Itâs very dark at night to see the stars (and a very dark drive back into the property at night!). We ordered fresh made bread from April and it was so good and huge!
Lexington was a lovely town. We visited the natural bridge, cave mountain lake, downtown, VMI, oak grove cemetery, and saw a movie at Hulls drive in. The whole family enjoyed all of it. We would definitely come back and stay there again.
The Yurt is one of our favorite stays! The kitchen is well appointed and the yurt was very comfortable. The baked goods were awesome! The beef is fantastic and was a great quick meal on the grill at the Yurt. The hike up to watch the sunset was fun. A fantastic stay for our family!
We had a great stay. The outside fireplace is wonderful with dry logs for great fires. Inside is cozy and modern with lots of very nice blankets. Great size for 6 adults. We only had 4 but felt that 2 more would have been easy to accommodate. Kitchen fully equipped with everything one might need . Yummy cookies on arrival. Sâmores corner with the fixings. Cute tv to move around in main level. So much fun.
My husband, 3-year-old daughter, and I had a fantastic 4 day/ 3-night stay at the Yurt! We were greeted by April's incredible cookies and the animals roaming the pasture. We were close enough to downtown Lexington that we were able to head into the city and have incredible dinner and beers each evening. We were also able to quickly get to the Natural Bridge and other gorgeous spots....it was absolutely the best of both worlds. We can't thank the Nix family enough for having us and we look forward to returning again soon!
April and Zach were great hosts! The yurt and surrounding land were so magical and beautiful. We also loved the huge sourdough bread, butter and chocolate chip cookies. Thank you for everything!
I spent 4 nights at the yurt December 26-30. Initially, I reached out to April to make sure it was warm enough. I hadnât seen December reviews. There is a wood stove inside but I didnât use it. There is a separate heating unit that kept us warm. I encourage you to consider spending time here in the beautiful winter time! A couple of friends came from Charlottesville to stay for a night. They, too, give it 5 stars. April and Zach were wonderful hosts. Several of their sheep had lambs in the last week. One morning the sheep were grazing outside of the yurt. It was fun. The bed is very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The loft has a shipâs type ladder. You can talk to April about any concerns. One of my friends is 70. Originally when I showed her the pictures online, she thought she would be fine. She did choose to sleep downstairs. That is the only logistical concern to consider. Her daughter loved it in the loft. We lit a fire outside one night and enjoyed making sâmores. The yurt had all the fixings at the âsâmores station.â Since I go to Lexington to meet my friends once a year, I asked them if they were comfortable. They loved it. We will all be back!
