My name is Jonathan. For the last ten years, I have been providing Airbnb experiences in yurts on our farm in Vermont. We have a small, ecologically designed permaculture homestead. The Airbnb provides a chance for people who live in urban environments to experience a simple life on our planet and connect with nature. We host over 150 reservations a year and up to 800+ individual guests.

The centerpiece of the Airbnb experience has been the sauna and living pool cold plunge. It is a spiritual, physical, and social way of cleaning and detoxing your system. Many guests leave after a weekend in the yurt and a sauna feeling rejuvenated. Many people leave after having a chance to evaluate their life and what is important.

After a decade, there was a tragic fire that reduced the sauna to rubble. Neither Airbnb host cover nor our homeowner's insurance would cover the loss of the sauna. We are seeking funds to replace the sauna and continue providing the ecologically connected experience of living a simple life with minimal impact on the planet. For donations over $50, we are more than willing to provide a sauna experience at our homestead and a night in the yurt!
