1. Cozy yurt with kitchen

Besides the comfy bed with luxurious bedding, this yurt has a double sofa bed and enough room in the garden to pitch a tent to accommodate additional guests.

The small kitchen comes with a microwave, kettle, and toaster, and the hosts even provide a few breakfast items in the fridge. While the kitchen and shower are in a separate building, they can be accessed via a private decked area. The deck, in turn, is also perfect for relaxing and gazing at the stars on summer evenings and enjoying a nice barbeque dinner.
