Skyline Yurt is a one-of-a-kind luxury mountainside getaway nestled in the tranquil serenity of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains at over 1,100 ft elevation. Only 1 hour from Washington, DC and 1h 40m from Baltimore, our unique custom wooden yurt combines the adventure of outdoor living with upscale comforts you'd expect from a chic boutique hotel. Inside you will enjoy a spacious living area with vaulted ceilings and glass dome, full gourmet kitchen with island, dining table for 8, pool table in the loft, PlayStation 5 with four controllers, 75" smart TV with Disney+, Netflix, and HBO Max, and a cozy wood-burning stove that creates the perfect ambiance. Outside, your private 7-person hot tub awaits on the elevated deck, surrounded by captivating mountain views. We also offer archery, cornhole, EV charging, and modern conveniences throughout. Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, family adventure, or peaceful nature retreat just 20 minutes from Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Yurt offers an unforgettable #YurtLife experience. ### What are your check-in and check-out times? Check-in is at 4pm and checkout is at 11am. For flexibility, we offer early check-in at 2pm or late checkout at 1pm for $50 each when our cleaning crew can accommodate. You'll receive your door code via email and text 24 hours before arrival for self check-in. ### What is your pet policy? Pets are welcome with $50 fee per stay. Checking the pet checkbox at booking acknowledges your pet is well-behaved. Dogs, cats, birds, ducks, and other well-behaved pets are welcome when the pet fee is paid. Our pet-friendly Virginia cabin includes bear-proof garbage bins, easy access to pet-friendly trails at Sky Meadows State Park and Shenandoah National Park, and a deck with railings on three sides. The entry/parking side is open because the deck is built to grade, so please supervise pets accordingly. ### What is your cancellation policy? Full refund for any reason if canceled or rescheduled at least 5 full days (120 hours) before your listed check-in time, minus the 2.9% credit card fee. Inside 120 hours, we are unable to offer refunds, including for weather-related cancellations. If dates are not available, join our waitlist or follow @skylineyurt (https://www.instagram.com/skylineyurt) on Instagram for last-minute openings. ### How do I use the private hot tub and are they available year-round? Yes, the hot tub is completely private, exclusive to your group, and available year-round at this luxury Virginia yurt. The 7-person hot tub is heated to 102°F year round on the spacious deck with mountain views. Please shower first, no oils or glass allowed, and keep cover on when not in use. Children under 12 are not permitted, and minors 12 and older may use the hot tub only with direct adult supervision. Our hot tub is professionally maintained with water testing smart meter monitoring. If water was changed or refilled, it may take a few hours to heat. Please see all posted rules before using. ### How many guests can this cabin accommodate? Up to 8 guests. Two private queen bedrooms with USB-C charging and adjustable pillows sleep 4, each pair behind its own door. The loft's king sleeper sofa behind a privacy screen and the convertible living room couch sleep 4 more. All linens, towels and sleep masks are provided. ### Is WiFi reliable for remote work? Yes! High-speed wired broadband with a dedicated workspace, including a desk and ergonomic chair, perfect for remote work. However, cell coverage is spotty. ### How far is the cabin from Shenandoah National Park? This luxury cabin is just 13 miles (20 minutes) from the entrance to famous Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. We're also 14 minutes to West Thompson WMA trail, 23 minutes to Skyline Caverns, 16 minutes to Trumbo Hollow via the Appalachian Trail, and 14 minutes to Buzzard Hill. The property features archery with a traditional recurve longbow for outdoor fun. ### How does the $500 damage deposit work? It is a hold on your payment method, not a charge, the same way a hotel holds a card for incidentals. At booking you pay only the stay total. The evening before check-in (right away for last-minute bookings) we place a separate $500 hold on the payment method you booked with. It shows on your statement as a pending $500 with YURT HOLD in the description, but the money never leaves your account. If there is no damage we release the hold within 4 days after checkout, and your bank can take a few more business days to clear the pending line. Nothing is refunded later because nothing extra was charged. Card holds expire after about 5-7 days, so on longer stays we may release the first hold and place a fresh one, which can briefly show as two pending $500 lines while your bank clears the earlier one. On a debit card the hold does reduce your available balance until it is released, so a credit card is easier. We capture part or all of the hold only with an itemized list and photos, for property damage, excessive cleaning beyond normal use, smoking, vaping, hookahs, cannabis, or tobacco anywhere on the property, unpaid pet fees or pet-related damage, missing or broken items, unreturned activity equipment, or house-rule violations, and anything above $500 is handled under the Rental Agreement. If you booked through Airbnb, Vrbo, or another platform, that platform's own damage policy applies and we do not place this hold. ### What payment methods do you accept? Stripe shows the available payment methods at checkout, which may include major credit and debit cards, Link, buy-now-pay-later options, Cash App Pay, and wallet payments depending on eligibility. For alternative payment methods like Zelle, Venmo, ACH bank transfer, or Bitcoin, contact us directly. The full reservation amount is charged at booking, though we're happy to work with guests who want to split payments with friends or arrange something unique. ### How does your pricing work? Nightly rates vary by season and demand, with higher rates during peak periods like holidays and ski season. No cleaning fees or booking fees, ever. State and local lodging taxes are calculated at checkout. Optional add-ons (early check-in, late checkout, pets) are shown before you book with pricing. If early check-in or late checkout isn't available due to back-to-back bookings, we'll refund and notify you promptly. Looking for deals? Check our last-minute deals (/deals) page or for flash sales. ### How do gift cards work? Purchase a gift card (/gift-card/300) online from $50 to $10,000, redeemable at any of our yurt locations. Gift cards are delivered via email, either instantly or scheduled for a specific date (9am ET). They're valid for 1 year from purchase. To redeem, enter your GIFT-XXXX code in the coupon field at checkout. If email delivery fails or you need the code resent, contact us with your order confirmation and we'll resend or issue a new code. ### What about cameras, safety equipment, and privacy? Exterior security cameras cover the driveway entry and parking only. Living and spa areas are completely private with no cameras inside, on decks, or viewing the hot tub area. Safety equipment includes fire extinguishers, CO/smoke detectors, and first aid kit. Wildlife protocol: use the bear-proof bins provided for all trash and food scraps. Emergency contacts are provided in your welcome message. ### Is the property wheelchair accessible? We build deck-to-grade, so practically everything on the main floor is accessible without stairs, including bedroom(s), bathroom(s), kitchen, dining table, living area, wood stove, and deck access to the hot tub and fire pit. We have proper door widths per code. There is a shower curb in the bathroom. Lofts and any lower-level spaces require stairs. ### Do you have EV charging? Yes! Our Level 2 J1772 charger adds approximately 37 miles of range per hour, perfect for overnight charging. Works with all J1772-compatible EVs including Chevy Bolt, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Rivian, and others. Tesla owners need a J1772-to-Tesla adapter (Mobile Connector or third-party adapter not included). One vehicle at a time, free to use during your stay. ### Are snow chains or 4WD required in winter? Yes, we strongly recommend 4WD with chains during active snowfall. The paved road turns to gravel at our driveway. The standard policy still applies in bad weather: cancel at least 5 full days (120 hours) before your listed check-in time for a refund for any reason, minus the 2.9% card fee. Inside 120 hours, we cannot offer weather-related refunds. We plow within 24 hours post-storm over 2in. Towing costs can exceed $400. Don't worry though, this cabin near Blue Ridge Mountains features a wood-burning stove and central heating to warm up from the snow. ### Are you child-friendly? Yes! We are child-friendly (not child-proof). We have the following items stocked in the yurt for our littlest guests: baby crib, high chair, changing table, and silicone bibs. ❤️ Kids love the PS5 with 4 controllers, board games, 75" TV with Disney+, Netflix, and HBO Max streaming, Sonos sound system, pool table, cornhole, and archery.

The stove is rated for twice the yurt's square footage, ensuring quick, efficient heating. The outdoor fire pit is propane-powered for easy, instant flames with no firewood needed. ### Can we walk to hiking trails from the cabin? While not directly accessible on foot, trails are minutes away by car: West Thompson WMA trail (14min), Buzzard Hill via Appalachian Trail (14min), Trumbo Hollow via Appalachian Trail (16min), Buzzard Rock Trail (32min). The property itself offers archery with a traditional 40-pound Kainokai recurve longbow and arrows, cornhole, and a spacious elevated deck for relaxation. ### Can we use the archery equipment? Yes. Guests may use archery equipment after completing the required waiver and following posted range rules. Do not share archery PINs or lock codes with anyone who has not signed. When finished, return the bow, arrows, target, and accessories to the posted storage area, re-lock everything, and report damaged or missing equipment. ### How close are grocery stores and restaurants?
