Nestled in northern Sullivan County at the foot of the Catskills, the Willowemoc Wild Forest Yurt is just the thing for hunters, fishing enthusiasts, and outdoorsy types who long for privacy and access to recreation in the Catskills. Accommodations consist of a single yurt tent in the midst of 50 acres of land in the forever-wild Willowemoc Wild Forest, which is within the Catskills Forest Preserve. The yurt’s amenities include solar lighting, a composting toilet, a shower, and outdoor grilling on the attached deck. It’s also outfitted with bunk beds that accommodate up to eight guests, a table and chairs, and additional seating.

The Wild Forest yurt is a step up in comfort from tent camping, but guests will still need to pack as if they’re camping. That means food, towels, flashlights, batteries, utensils, and personal hygiene items. Weekend rates are $125 per night, $100 on weekdays. Rent weekly for $700, or monthly for $3,450. Weekend breakfast baskets packed with hot cocoa, coffee, tea, fruit, muffins, and scones are available. Here’s a tip: If you’re staying at the yurt for a special event, such as a birthday or anniversary, let the owners know at booking. They’ll throw in a little something special for you.
