Our structures are cooled by mountain breezes that flow freely through the multiple windows; the large ceiling fan keeps the cool air in and pushes the hot air out. In very hot weather each yurt is equipped with an air conditioner, to ensure your total comfort. In cooler weather the windows are closed and small eco-friendly heaters will help this efficient, well insulated structure to keep the chill out.
These wonderful abodes were the perfect option for us because they are not only beautiful and environmentally respectful, they also offer the safety and structure of a home, with the earthy feeling of camping. Talk about having it all!
Being environmentally friendly does not mean you cannot be comfortable! We designed each yurt to feel as if you were "glamping".
They were thoughtfully and beautifully appointed with everything you should need to enjoy your stay away from home. The queen size log bed boasts
high thread count sheets, elegant comforters and pillows, and a space- saving trundle bed underneath for two additional guests.
If you have more than four guests, there is a sleeper sofa or queen air mattress, depending on which yurt you choose.
The kitchen area is simply and efficiently designed to meet the needs of a honeymoon couple wanting a sunrise cup of coffee or a bustling family excitedly looking forward to a full-blown mountain cookout.
There is a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, dishes, utensils, utility towels, and pots and pans for grill cooking.
The patio area was designed for guests to appreciate the reason we all migrate to the mountains. Our outside kitchen has a view that is unmatched; we have new grills! Your grilled masterpiece can then be conveniently enjoyed in the outside dining
area that is shaded by an umbrella and situated at the optimal point to enjoy refreshing mountain breezes.
My favorite is the hammock - a great place to read a book, supervise all that cooking, or do nothing at all! For the true mountaineers, there is a
fire pit if you really want to cook your dinner the old fashioned way! This centrally located amenity , just steps away from your yurt, is also
equipped with running water for washing off your dishes, hands, shoes, etc.
In keeping with the earth friendly theme, the yurts share a bathhouse with a common septic system. This allowed us to reduce our impact on our
forest, which was of paramount importance.
Each yurt has its own bathroom at the bathhouse. The facility is at the bottom of the yurt property. A winding path, illuminated at night makes the
commute to the facilities short, safe, and scenic, about a one minute walk.
We made sure the bathroom was worth the short jaunt. They are appointed with fluffy towels, quality fixtures, a well lit vanity and sink, a shower with deluxe shower head, and toilet. There is also a shared hot tub in the bath house area for enjoying incredible views of star-filled nights. Getting back to nature has never been so luxurious! But please keep in mind, this is more of an outdoor activity that staying in a cabin - if you are the type who would never camp this is not for you!
You should be in relatively good physical condition and not mind the walk to the bathroom to be up for this adventure.
The bathhouse is also where the parking area is located. The photo shows the distance from the bath house to the yurt. This photo was taken from the
porch of the bath house. You will have to walk your luggage up the hill to the yurt, so please pack accordingly. The walk is short, but it is uphill.
We have gone out of our way to make sure you have everything you need, so packing light should be easy. Also, the walk up the hill Is well worth the
beautiful view you get from your deck!
Time to roast some s'mores! This retreat is suitable for families with small children, couples, girls or guys weekends, or the single guest looking for some quiet time. The only thing they all have in common is that they love the outdoors and want to get closer to it.
There is a lot of nature at Blanche Manor. Gorgeous sunrises, colorful sunsets, and all kinds of wildlife await you. When you are
ready to explore, our secluded wooded location has walking paths, a small pond, and of course horses passing by at the bottom of the property.
