Tucked deep in the woods, Laughing Water is a private escape for two—where the gentle sound of a brook wrapping around the yurt and the stillness of the mountains create a setting made for slowing down. Located near a charming community trail with bridges and benches, it’s easy to wander and take in the peaceful surroundings.
Inspired by the warmth and allure of Morocco, this hard-wall yurt is layered with rich textures, intricate details, and soft lighting—creating a space that feels both exotic and deeply relaxing.
The journey in sets the tone. A wooded pathway with approximately 38 steps leads you to your secluded retreat—adding just enough adventure to make arrival feel like discovery.
Inside, the space is cozy, intimate, and thoughtfully designed. A plush king bed invites restful mornings, while a bright kitchen with crisp white cabinetry keeps the space feeling fresh and open. The custom oversized Moroccan-tiled walk-in shower with a rainfall head adds a luxurious, spa-like touch that feels both indulgent and one-of-a-kind.
Outside, the experience unfolds naturally. Sip coffee as the forest wakes up, unwind by the fire pit under a sky full of stars, or simply listen to the soothing rhythm of the brook as it winds around you. Surrounded by mountain beauty, it’s a place to reconnect—whether over quiet conversation or shared stillness.
Perfectly positioned for hiking, exploring, or doing absolutely nothing at all, Laughing Water offers a balance of adventure and retreat—nature all around you, with comfort woven into every moment.
