Just 45 minutes from Springfield, the Forest Garden Yurts were originally home to Tom Hess and Lory Brown, who lived and worked at the yurts for over 40 years using the largest one as a pottery studio. The yurts were designed by William Copperthwaite, one of the world’s most respected names in yurt building. Today, you can rent out the yurts on the property as your own private Airbnb. The yurts give off a cozy feeling, with the low ceilings, cast iron stove and hobbit doors.
"The yurts feel like a cabin in the woods of California or Oregon feel, but instead in the middle of the Ozarks," said owner Amanda Francis.
