1974 Coperthwaite Wooden Yurt Getaway in New Hampshire


This post contains affiliate links.

Today I’m really excited to share this enchanting wooden yurt with all of you, mostly because my husband and I actually stayed here last summer and can vouch for how awesome it is. I’m pretty obsessed with yurts, so getting to vacation in one was a dream come true, and this one was particularly amazing because of the history — it was built by Bill Coperthwaite in 1974, the pioneer of American yurt-building!

It’s nestled in the woods/pasture of the South of Monadnock intentional living community, and looks like something out of a storybook. The walls are all tilted out, so you walk through a funky door into the main room. My favorite part of the yurt by far is the cozy book-nook. It was the perfect spot to sit down with my morning coffee before getting ready for the day’s adventure.

You access the bedroom via ladder stairs, and it has a huge skylight for star-gazing! It was incredibly romantic and peaceful. Best of all, the hosts were incredibly kind, and supplied us with local maple syrup and farm-fresh eggs upon arrival. Can’t recommend this place enough! Book your stay on Airbnb here.

    I am never going to be happy with my sink again. That’s the best sink ever. And I really like the chair under the stairs as a place to curl up and read also. This definitely looks like a special place to visit.

      Seriously the sink is stone and it was incredible! I scour Craigslist for them all the time hoping I’ll find one…

    I’ve seen this one before. Very rustic and cozy. I love the eyebrow windows in the upstairs bedroom. It’s an unusual place, and I love it!
