Many guests return year after year, praising the comfortable bed and how well-stocked the yurt is
YurtCation is an off-grid getaway with lake frontage and nature trails. There is another yurt about 300ft up the same driveway. There are a total of two yurts and two homes that have access to the same 17 acre lake. Each yurt has their own queen-sized comfy bed, wood stove, Weber grill w/charcoal, fire pit, firewood, fresh water, canoe, and clean Porto Potty. The yurts are about 80 feet from the lake’s ordinary high water mark to comply with zoning. We are fully permitted and have many repeats.
The space
It’s a Yurt. On a deck. 80 feet from a lake with access including SUPs, kayaks, and a canoe. Surrounded by woods with farmland nearby.
Guest access

Other things to note
June, July, and August are prime Lilly Pad months. There will be some open water but not a lot during this time of year depending on rainfall. Most people over-pack. We provide firewood, charcoal, fresh water, pots and pans, and drinkable water. There’s a Jackery battery pack that’ll run the lights and a fan plus recharge your cell phone. Cell reception is excellent although you might choose to unplug. Depending on the season the frogs and cranes could be noisy. There are active farms in the area and you may hear gunfire from hunters. There’s no hunting on the 43 acres that includes the yurt. You might see the neighbors, your yurt hosts, and/or the Yurters at YurtSimple out enjoying the lake. Let us know if you would like a horse visit and we’ll ride on over with a member or two from the herd.
YurtCation has moved about 50 feet from its original location in order to comply with Shoreland Zoning Rules. The good news is that our yurts are now fully permitted.

Neighborhood highlights
There is no neighborhood. You’re surrounded by the woods and farm land. There’s another site we call YurtSimple about 300ft past YurtCation along the same driveway. No one else should be using that driveway.

Hi, We are Wil and Robin Guernsey. We own YurtCation and YurtSimple situated on 43 scenic acres in Cambridge, WI. The yurts have lake access and elevated decks that overlook a 17 acre lake. So it's very peaceful and quiet except for the occasional farming activity in the distance. You might also hear hunting noises but there’s no hunting allowed on our land. YurtCation has kayaks, stand up paddle boards, and a canoe. YurtSimple has a canoe.
