About this property

Relax and unwind at Solar Solitude

The Yurt at Solar Solitude sits behind the barn, and the 8.4 acres Solar Solitude occupies is available for exploring. The adjacent George Washington National Forest is ideal for hiking, and the Lost River State Park is just minutes away. Sit in the living room and enjoy the quiet beauty of nature while feeling the warmth from the wood stove or gaze up at the stars through the dome, or out on the expansive deck. WIFI works well for those who prefer to stay connected and/or telework!

We had an absolutely wonderful time over our long weekend at the yurt. Its a very nice space, good to experience living in a circle, and set on a hillside in a very quiet valley. There was a very lively cow heard across the way making thier opinions known, whom we cnamed collectively "Stadler & Waldorf". It is an largely uninsulated tent, so thermalregulation is an active process, and the wifi was put during our stay. I will also reccomend bringing a hand saw, as there is firewood to burn but the stove in the yurt is too small for narmal log sizes. The lofted bed, skylight, and fabric construction make for a fully immersive experience. Nearly our whole stay was rain, but the play of the rain and wind on the hut was loads of fun. Definitely reccomend the space.

Absolutely wonderful!
The yurt is incredible. The structure itself is very cool, but it's set amongst several pastures to walk through with your dog in the morning listening to birdsong and cows and during the magic hour in the evening. It has everything you could need; this is luxury glamping! Russ is so nice and responsive and helpful. Lost River State Park and George Washington National Forest are a few turns away. There's nothing nicer than sitting on the deck with a drink and watching the birds and the baby cows across the way in the afternoons. The pup and I had the most wonderful time and we will absolutely be back!

Easy stress free glamping
We enjoyed our stay immensely. The yurt was well set up for every need we might have had. The bed was one of the most comfortable we ever slept in. We had a couple of small hiccups because of the cold weather but our host addressed them immediately and resolved them.

Takes “Glamping” to a Whole New Level
Solar solitude is more than just a yurt, it has beautiful floors, a well appointed kitchen, beautiful bathroom, and a skylight for stargazing. Set in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood you can get back to nature in style. Russell is an attentive host and responds to any inquiry quickly.

Yurt sweet yurt!
Enjoyed our stay! Overall a fantastic property. Really fun and unique place and as advertised, however firepit area could use a trim. Bed was comfortable, and pullout was comfy as well. Able to work remotely and had no trouble, We enjoyed grilling on the deck and the solostove for smores in evenings!

Awesome Experience
My husband and I totally loved our stay in the Yurt. Russell was an amazing host and got back to me within minutes if I had any questions. It had all the amenities of home but the feeling of being close to nature. The yurt sits on a lot of land and our dogs loved exploring. The only thing I will say is the stairs up to the bed are quite tricky and my husband's older knees struggled a bit. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants the experience of "glamping".

Great value. Charming setup.
We loved staying here. It was a fun and different property in a beautiful location. My only complaint is that some dishes were not clean. Other than that, everything was amazing, and I would recommend this place to anyone considering it.

A+ for privacy
Glad we had at least one clear night to see the stars. An extremely unique experience in a very private location. Being in a circular living space felt so big! The place is appointed well, with just the right amount of items to make the stay comfortable. But hard to remember we were really not indoors and it is best to venture out in the hottest part of the day.

Nothing short of amazing!
My husband and I came to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were blown away! We chose this spot because we thought it would be cool to stay in a yurt, we didn’t know what exactly to expect, but the pictures looked nice! We arrived and were pleasantly surprised at the fact that it is truly in the middle of nowhere (EXACTLY what we wanted). The yurt was gorgeous, super spacious, CLEAN, and felt like home. We enjoyed having breakfast and dinner outside on the deck, listening to the rain fall on the roof, watching the stars from bed, and listening to the sounds of nature (and cows!) in the early morning when we woke up. Also, we enjoyed all of the games!! We played lots of Zuni and LOTS of Scrabble!! I highly recommend - taking the hike to Cranny Crow in Lost River State Park - Lost River Grill for a close by restaurant - fishing the stream at Howard’s Lick trail for brook trout at Lost River State Park - Taking an evening in Moorefield to see a movie and have dinner (and dessert!) at Oneills - Taking at least an afternoon and evening staying in and just enjoying the yurt and the peacefulness! Thank you, Russell!!

Magical and luxurious yurt!
Extremely well thought out design and amenities. It had more than announced: toaster and an awesome indoor grill (outdoor charcoal grill too) that we got to use - we were there when the storm Ida went through - the yurt held up beautifully (though the rain was loud!). Loved the candles too, and the puzzles and games! Location is great and private - we saw deer and hawks and enjoyed the fire pit at night with shooting stars. Would love to come back.
