Small-scale glamping - peace and privacy in a yurt

Celestial Living Yurt Retreat logo - small-scale glamping for peace seekers in an atmospheric yurt.

Small-scale glamping is luxury camping without the crowds. No accommodations in a row and no shared facilities. At Celestial Living, you stay in a detached, stylishly furnished yurt with a wood-burning stove, kitchen, and private bathroom. A place for adults seeking comfort but who don't want a standard holiday park.

The three core qualities of a small-scale glamping

At Celestial Living, everything revolves around the human scale. With just three yurts in a vast landscape, we consciously choose space, tranquility, and privacy. This way, you experience glamping without a park feel—small-scale, comfortable, and undisturbed.

Three yurts are situated at a considerable distance from each other in the landscape. This guarantees your privacy and enhances the sense of freedom: a stay where tranquility is truly palpable.

Peace & Distance

Comfort & Convenience

Thanks to the high-quality furnishings and facilities, you will enjoy a carefree stay. The private amenities make yurt life particularly pleasant.

Nature & Freedom

An outdoor retreat with air, space, and a view—without prying eyes, without crowds. Here, you experience freedom in a quiet, natural way.

Why do peace seekers choose small-scale glamping?

Small-scale glamping appeals to people who seek the comfort of glamping but not the setting of a holiday park or campsite. You want to be outdoors, sleep well, experience privacy, and not constantly have other people around you. That is precisely where the difference lies.

Few accommodations, much more peace and quiet

At large-scale glamping sites, accommodations are often closer together, and you are more likely to share paths, sightlines, or amenities. At Celestial Living, however, you experience distance and seclusion. With just three yurts in the landscape, this place feels peaceful, open, and relaxed.

The strength of small scale lies in what isn't there.

No rows of accommodations, no shared facilities, and no constant movement of people around you. Precisely because there is less, there is more room for privacy, silence, and a stay that feels more personal.

Who is small-scale glamping suitable for?

Small-scale glamping is particularly suitable for people who consciously choose peace, privacy, and a stay with character. Not for those seeking entertainment, hustle and bustle, or many facilities on one site – but for those who want to be outdoors while simultaneously enjoying a comfortable stay.

For couples who want to get away together without the crowds

A few days together are much nicer in a place with few distractions. In a detached yurt, you have time and attention for each other, without noise from neighbors or shared spaces. That makes this form of glamping very suitable for a romantic overnight stay for two .

For solo guests seeking silence and space

This is also a lovely place for a solo stay. You can read, walk, write, or simply do nothing for a while to truly disconnect from everything. Thanks to the small-scale setup of Celestial Living, it feels peaceful and safe at the same time. Those specifically looking for a solo stay with peace and comfort will find more inspiration on the Solo retreat in the Netherlands page.

For people who love glamping without the park feeling

Many people love glamping but are put off by the execution: too many accommodations, too little privacy, or an atmosphere that is too recreational. In that case, small-scale glamping in a comfortable yurt often fits much better—freer, quieter, and more intimate.

Small-scale glamping in the Achterhoek

The rural surroundings enhance this way of staying. Celestial Living is located in Toldijk, in the heart of the Achterhoek's scenic landscape. Here you will find no mass tourism, but plenty of space for walking and cycling. It is a region where everything seems to move at a slower pace.

If you would like to explore the surroundings in addition to your stay, there is plenty to discover nearby: from Hanseatic cities to idyllic villages, from castles to vineyards, and many farm shops to do your local shopping. You can find more tips on the Location & Surroundings page.

Why a yurt fits so well with small-scale glamping

A yurt is the perfect accommodation for small-scale glamping. It feels very different from a safari tent, tiny house, dome, or any other type of accommodation. The round shape and natural materials create an enveloping feeling, and with thoughtful furnishings and a good wood-burning stove, a yurt is just as comfortable as any other form of glamping. This makes Celestial Living's yurts appealing to people seeking something special without compromising on comfort.
