About this property

Off-Grid Mongolian Yurt on Vermont Sheep Farm

  • Cariad Bach Yurt is a traditional Mongolian yurt set on our working sheep farm in rural Vermont. Designed for two adults, this is a quiet, off-grid glamping retreat for guests who appreciate simplicity, open space, and the rhythm of farm life.

    The yurt is accessed by walking approximately 600 feet across a grass field. The path is not paved and may be uneven or muddy depending on weather. Guests should be comfortable carrying their belongings.

    Inside, the circular space is simple, warm, and thoughtfully furnished. A wood stove provides heat in cooler months, creating a cozy retreat after a day outdoors. The structure reflects the historic connection between shepherding and nomadic life — a fitting stay on a Vermont sheep farm.

    This is an intentionally off-grid experience:
    • No running water
    • Limited solar power with USB charging only
    • Heated by wood stove
    • Private outdoor kitchen area
    • Separate private outhouse with Norwegian incinerating toilet

    The simplicity is part of the design. This is a place to unplug, slow down, and enjoy the landscape.

    Guests are welcome to visit our self-serve farm stand, open year-round. We offer pasture-raised lamb and mutton, farm eggs, and British and European baked goods. Pre-order options may be available for guests who would like something waiting upon arrival. All guests receive a 10% discount at the farm stand.

    “Cariad Bach” means “little darling” in Welsh — a nod to our heritage and our life as shepherds here in Vermont.

    Adults only. No pets.

    Note: Guests are required to review and complete a short incinerating toilet usage acknowledgment prior to check-in.
