Comparison material
"Elk jaar gaan we winterkamperen. We hebben meerdere yurts, een star-gazer en cabiner bezocht. En met deze jaren vergelijkingsmateriaal op zak, kunnen we zeggen dat dit de fijnste, meest ontspannen en rustgevende, schoonste, gezelligste en mooiste plek was!
Het weer zat ook mee. Bij 1 graad boven nul konden we douchen onder een strakblauwe hemel en in onze badjas opdrogen in het zonnetje – een echte wellness ervaring!
We zijn positief verrast hoelang de kachel warm blijft en de hele yurt verwarmt, terwijl deze niet in het midden staat, zoals bij traditionele yurts.
Dank jullie wel voor alle aandacht en liefde die jullie in deze fijne plek stoppen!"

Come back in the winter!
What a lovely place!
I have never stayed in a yurt where the interior was furnished with so much care, love, and an eye for materials, color, sustainability, and luxury; Pinterest, eat your heart out!
We spent a lot of time in the yurt, mostly. We got sushi in Zutphen and used the incredibly cute sushi dinnerware set. There really is nothing in the area more atmospheric than this yurt.
A tip for summer guests: be sure to come back in the winter!

Even the rain was beautiful
What a beautiful place
What a beautiful location
What a beautiful yurt
And so I could go on.
Everything was beautiful – the atmosphere, the wood stove, the interior.
Even now, the rain was beautiful.

It has exceeded all our expectations!
'Mijn verwachtingen waren hoog door de foto’s op de site, maar toen we aankwamen overtrof het al onze verwachtingen! We hebben echt een heerlijke tijd gehad. Het koude weer buiten maakte de yurt vanbinnen nog gezelliger. Echt top hoe overal tot in detail is nagedacht en alles wat je maak kunt bedenken aanwezig is.'
Rijk & Milou | Orion | November 2025
Even with the cold weather, we were sitting there warm and cozy.
This was a completely new and special experience for us! We have never spent the night in a yurt before. It exceeded our expectations, and even with the cold weather outside, we were warm and cozy inside.

A man could never...
When we found out that you, two women, had created this, all the pieces of the puzzle fell into place.
Because 'a man could never', Wow!
Absolutely everything has been thought of for an unforgettable time.
For two girls from the Randstad, this was an oasis of calm.
And showering under the stars was certainly a new experience.

Je verliest alle besef van tijd….
What a lovely place! When you are in the yurt, you lose all sense of time; there is just such wonderful peace here. You have really done a beautiful job. The decor is so beautiful and radiates so much tranquility.
…we are going back home completely relaxed.'
Heidi & Martina | Orion | July 2025
Everything, absolutely everything, is perfect.
What an incredibly lovely and stunning little paradise it is here!
The atmosphere, the privacy, the amenities—it is all of an exceptionally high standard. I have never seen an accommodation furnished with so much warmth, love, and countless details.
Everything, absolutely everything, is perfect, and that is truly very special!
We will definitely come back!

On vacation with a home-coming feeling
The warm welcome of the yurt was exactly what we needed.
It's funny how we felt right at home on the one hand, and had the ultimate vacation feeling on the other.

Quality, intimacy and romance
What a beautiful place!
You understand like no other how to blend quality, intimacy, and romance. We thoroughly enjoyed this fantastically furnished yurt and the surroundings.
Thank you for making this unique experience possible for people.

An Airbnb guest on a solo retreat
Ilja booked Yurt Venus via Airbnb, and in the message before arrival she wrote: "I am coming to visit because I really need to escape from life for a while. I want to get my head in nature for a bit."
When she left, she shared the text written below in the guestbook. And that makes us so happy; that is our greatest reward! Because this is what we do it for.
Here I found myself again.
The wind blew the storm out of my head
The raindrops washed my soul
The sun awakened new energy
And the double rainbow gave me direction
What a beautiful place to be alone
To read, to write, to cycle and to walk
To shower under a starry sky, to dance in the sun
BBQing on the terrace and tea by the fireplace
Dreaming on a four-poster bed and eating everything the farm shop sells
Thank you for your care and an amazing stay.
Here I found myself again.'

Ilja's Airbnb review makes us blush!
Hospitality is an art, and Célestine has proven that. The yurt offers a warm welcome. Absolutely everything has been thought of (and I really mean everything).
In addition, it feels completely 'back to nature', but fully enveloped in quality, sustainability, ecology, and luxury. Bonus points for the outdoor shower and the modern eco toilet!
Even in the yurt, you can entertain yourself for almost a day with everything there is to discover. Everything is coordinated and serves a purpose.
The surroundings are also beautiful and peaceful. The yurt is completely private. There is a lovely organic farm shop around the corner. I have sun, wind, and rain there.
and experienced a starry sky and everything is a vibe.
A hare jumped across the meadow and the little garden is surrounded by butterflies. I barbecued and had the fireplace on.
Definitely a romantic spot to sit as a couple, but I can also recommend everyone to disappear here on their own.
Not a moment of boredom and complete peace.
Luxurious comfort
'We loved the luxurious comfort and we are totally in love with all the details.'
Anna & Tom | Sirius | July 2024
A true earthly paradise
We spent the first hour in great wonder.

The perfect place if you really want to be completely alone for a while!
What a special and beautiful place you have created. For someone who doesn't often go anywhere alone, this was the perfect place.
It was cold outside, but inside the yurt, thanks to the stove, the blankets, and the hot tea, it was lovely, cozy, and warm.
I have relaxed wonderfully!
Allyce | Venus | April 2023
The most romantic place ever
Rarely, no never, have I been to a place where everything was taken care of down to the last detail.
We celebrated our 10-year-as-a-couple anniversary here, and it is immediately the most romantic place we have ever been together. Thank you for this beautiful memory.

Magic happens in a yurt
The moment I stepped into your yurt, everything fell away from me. What a paradise on earth. Add your kindness and the beautiful surroundings to that, and the magic is there!
Fransisca | Orion | February 2023
A magical setting
Even the weather was great, with sun-drenched days for cycling and walking in the neighborhood. And we were gifted a spectacular starry night — which is certainly worth beholding during the star-filled February nights.

So climate-friendly!
'.....rain and strong winds all day. But inside the yurt it was comfortable, warm, and cozy. Fully equipped, really everything has been thought of. And so climate-friendly. Beautiful how you did this.'
Frans & Annelies | Venus | March 2022

The feeling of being home, a safe haven
'What bliss!... Unwinding, sinking in, warming up, reflecting, everything. The yurt helps you with that. We are completely recharged.'
