That yurt looked pretty nice and they included a free spider 🤪😂

[@trvlnthru]

It was pretty nice. I could have done without the spider. But it was still a fun adventure. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

Hi 23# like good video thank you for sharing 👍👍

[@trvlnthru]

Thank you for watching our video about staying in a yurt. We are glad you enjoyed it!

[@DaniellesBayouAdventure]

No running water/no bath houses😯Not staying on that side of the park. The Yurt is very interesting . Nice bath house area and scenic views

[@trvlnthru]

Yes, we were sort of roughing it for the weekend. I was glad we had a bed and seats and a table. But I certainly would have been more comfortable with electricity and running water. But we ended up having a fun adventure in spite of the lack of modern day amenities. I would do it again since Jack really enjoyed the experience and I ended up having a nice weekend. But... yeah, I would rather stay in a resort. The park really did have lovely scenic views. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

A nice cozy campsite. Nice share guys. Like 8

We enjoyed camping (glamping?) in this beautiful park. We really enjoyed the hiking and the marshmallow roasting and everything else about this experience. Thanks so much for watching our video about our stay in a yurt!

[@laurenandseth]

Super cool yurt, I love the skylight but the spider is a no go for sure. If it had a bathroom and full water and electricity I could live in one. :D That state park looks beautiful, we've wanted to go in the past on trips to Richmond. Such a beautiful time of year in that area, so green!

[@trvlnthru]

Yeah, we could definitely enjoy permanent yurt life with a electicity and a bathroom. But this was a fun adventure for a weekend. It really was a beautiful state park. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

amazing video trvln_thru. I smashed that thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the really good work.

[@trvlnthru]

Thank you for your kind comment! We had a lot of fun on this yurt adventure and are glad you enjoyed our video about it! Hope you will join us for further adventures!

[@DisneyVacationFamily]

Wow! Jack may not be adventurous with food but he definitely impressed us with staying in a yurt! ha ha... this place was gorgeous... I loved the yurt... I think we would need at least electricity and water... it looked so spacious inside compared to looking at it from outdoors... and it was very clean... love the journal as well... great video guys!

[@trvlnthru]

That yurt really did look small on the outside but really opened up once you got inside. I would prefer water and electricity too but we actually ended up having a very fun camping (glamming?) adventure in our yurt. This was a really fun park to stay in too. Thanks for watching our video!

The yurt looks fantastic. Nice place to go camping. It’s a magical place to connect with nature. It’s peaceful and pleasant atmosphere. Very nice sharing. Thumbs up! Have an awesome week! Watching from Northern California.

We had such a fun time staying in our yurt for the weekend. It really was such a great way to relax and take in the beauty of the river and the woods. We are so glad we took that trip! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Wow, that yurt looks so spacious! Powhatan State Park looks like a great park to see and explore! Thanks for sharing! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@trvlnthru]

We were shocked at how big it looked inside. As we pulled up to the outside of it, we thought it looked kind of small. But once we went in, it looked a lot more spacious than we expected. There was plenty of room for the two of us. And we had a great time exploring the park as well! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@JNTravels]

Beautiful spot, I love that yurt!🐸

[@trvlnthru]

This was such a beautiful park! We had a fun weekend staying in a yurt. It was a lovely experience. Thanks so much for watching!

[@TripNWithRed]

It definitely beats a tent in the grass but you are way more adventurous than I would be. I'm not high maintenance yet a bug and spider free environment is calming to my soul. A bathroom helps too. 🤣 I love the rustic outdoor feel in the daytime. The surrounding are beautiful. Wait, $75 a night?! 😳 It definitely makes for a great video review and experience.

[@trvlnthru]

Yeah, this was definitely out of my comfort zone. But it ended up being a fun adventure. I was very happy to have a bed and not be in a sleeping bag in a tent. I am more of a hotel type of girl but Jack convinced me to give this a try and I am glad we did. I would even do it again some day. Not any time soon though. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@AnnaTravels]

That's cool. I just love the word yurt. :) Great video.

[@trvlnthru]

Yurt is a very fun word. And we enjoyed our yurt adventure! I may not be up for glamping in a yurt too often. But as an every now and then trip, I would definitely love to do it again. Thanks for watching our video and commenting! We are glad you enjoyed it!

[@Evie_Charming]

Woooowww.. it's soooo beautiful video..💚

[@trvlnthru]

Thank you! The park really was a beautiful place to spend a weekend!

[@cupcakescorner7684]

Love that barbeque site. Canoing is enjoyable too. Have a great holidays

[@trvlnthru]

We do enjoy going down the river in a canoe or kayak. We didn't this time as we had never been to this park and didn't really know what was available. But now that we have seen it, we will certainly look into renting a canoe next time we go. It was nice to have the barebeque pit to cook on site at our yurt. We had a great weekend. Thanks so much for watching!

[@NaomisAdventures]

Beautiful place

[@trvlnthru]

This state park was beautiful. The cabin ruins and the historic cemetary reminded me a lot of the kind of places you tour on your channel. There was a lot to see along the trails here. Thanks for watching our video about spending the weekend in a yurt at Powhatan State Park in Virginia!

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

ooooooh. this is like Glamping! Lovely area and loved the history of the early settlers. Alice, skeletal remains are interesting! Fire places are generally the last things remaining. We will be Glamping in Tassmania later this year. Glamping is glamour camping. Great accomodation. EEEK! Spider. The Italian restaurant seems lovely. Sounds like you had a lovely stay. 10:36 is that you Alice? Thank you Alice and Jack for another great episode.

[@trvlnthru]

Glamping really is a great word for this. It was almost like staying in a tent but we had more room and (most importantly) we had a bed. It was great adventure. The fireplace from the cabin ruins was fascinating. I wanted to know the story behind it - how old was the cabin, what happened to it. They should definitely prepare some signage to explain. Yes, that is me sitting by the fire around 10:36. I look pretty rough after a long day in the woods. But that was me. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@OffRampAdventures]

We camped in some interesting places, but gotta' add a yurt to the list!

[@trvlnthru]

You definitely should! It was quite an experience. We had even more fun than we thought we were going to have. It was a pleasant, relaxing weekend away in a great park. Thank you so much for watching!

[@TooMuchLuggage]

It's a beautiful place. We never been in that park and I never stay in a yurt. I never stay in a tent either. I like the the animal bones you find. That was a long walking you guy did. 7 miles its pretty good for one day. 👌

[@trvlnthru]

Yeah, we were pretty tired after 7 miles. I don't camp much (in tents or yurts). I enjoy a nice hotel much more. But Jack really wanted to camp and this seemed better to me than a tent since there was a bed. But we had a lot of fun exploring the park that weekend. The bones really were fascinating. I was trying to figure out what animal it was. Or maybe it was more than one animal, I don't know. There were several other bones we didn't put in the video. Jack was much less interested in studying them though. LOL. Thanks for watching!

[@TravelingWithEmMe]

We side with Alice and the animal bones! We would be fascinated by seeing all the bones LOL! The journal at the Yurt is cool idea! The heat inside the Yurt would drive us nuts!

[@trvlnthru]

Those bones really were fascinating. And they had all been picked clean. Like it was parts of an animal (or animals) skeletons tossed about along the trail with all the rest of the body completely gone. I was trying to figure out what animal (or animals) left behind these bones and what might have happened to them. But Jack cut my investigations short. The heat in the afternoon was bad til we opened up the flaps and let in a breeze. I would imagine it isn't pleasant on afternoons in July though. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@SwiftyTravels]

Ive always wanted to stay in a yurt!! This looks like a nice one!

[@trvlnthru]

This was a very cool experience. We had a great time - even with the 40 degree temperatures at night. It felt like we survived an adventure by the time the weekend was over. But it was a fun adventure in a beautiful park. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@OpenRoad4Two]

We enjoy primitive camping so it would be fun to rent to yurt. Powhatan State Park is very beautiful.

[@trvlnthru]

Yes, you would definitely enjoy this! This really was a lot of fun! And this park had such lovely trails through the woods and along the river. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@8bitvacations]

Wow. Not half bad at all! We stayed in a teepee at KOA and the yurt put it to shame! That’s a very nice place!

[@trvlnthru]

Yes, we were shocked when we went inside at house nice and spacious it was. The accomodations were excellent. We had a fun visit to the park and we definitely prefer yurts to sleeping on the ground in our tent. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

The other place I have seen one of those tents was in Mongolia. Very cool to see because it is extremely different. Man, they have so much more in VA compared to 10 years ago when I lived in VA. LIKE 20. 👍👍👍

[@trvlnthru]

Yeah this is kind of a modern twist on the yurts which have been used for centuries in Mongolia. It was quite an adventure to live in one without power and plumbing for the weekend. But we had a lot of fun along the way. Thanks so much for watching!

[@JenniferandMark2014]

Oh I would have been fascinated by the animal bones too. Yikes this was really roughing it but still looks fun 🛖😄Jenn

[@trvlnthru]

This was roughing it! I don't think I would want to do this regularly. But it was fun! And I would not mind at all doing it again - occasionally. The animal bones were fascinating. I was trying to figure out what animal they were from when Jack encouraged me to end my investigation. LOL. Thanks for watching Jenn!

[@BobandKellyGo]

“Not actual footage of Captain John Smith” 🤣🤣 this looks like a really beautiful state park! Stop photographing skeletal remains! 🤣 the yurt looks quite comfortable! Nice to see glimpses of a Jack and an Alice 😊

[@trvlnthru]

The yurts really were comfortable - except for the cold at night. Though we were ok once we put on layers and got under all our blankets. This was a really fun adventure. I think I like deluxe hotels at Disney much better. But as an occasional weekend getaway, I would do this again. Thanks for watching Bob & Kelly!

[@LivingtheSilverLife]

I know this sounds weird since we have an Airstream, but I've always wanted to stay in a Yurt. We've stayed at multiple campgrounds that have them instead of cabins. They just look like so much fun. Powhatan State Park looks like they have great trails and has lots to offer.

[@trvlnthru]

That doesn't sound weird at all. It was a cool experience to stay in a yurt and I highly recommend it. It was a nice change of pace. Powhatan State Park was such a beautiful place to explore for the weekend. We loved the trails and the views of the river and those old cabin ruins we found. Just a really great, relaxing weekend. Thanks so much for watching!

[@OpenRoad4Two]

We would love to experience one too! Would love to enjoy renting one in Sedona or Hawaii!

[@Evie_Charming]

So greeennn

[@trvlnthru]

It really was. Seeing the trees and grass and plants all over the woods in the spring was gorgeous. Thanks for watching!

[@offthebeatenpath9248]

Great video with lots of info. I almost stayed in a yurt. Looks like an awesome stop

[@trvlnthru]

You totally should give it a try if you think it looks like fun. I wouldn't like to do it super often. But as an occasional weekend getaway, this was a really cool option. It felt like an adventure in a way that staying in a hotel never does. Thank you so much for watching our video and commenting!

[@offthebeatenpath9248]

@@trvlnthru thanks

[@FLACKFAM]

😂 stop taking pictures of bones 🦴! I love that you guys stayed in a yurt! I would definitely do this than a tent! Especially with the bath house! Nice to not have to bring in all your food. I haven’t seen this way to make s’mores! Sounds like a tent, hot during the day and cold at night, but you have a bed!

[@trvlnthru]

Yes, a tent with a bed is exactly how I described it to people when we drove back home and they asked how it was. This really was a fun adventure. But those bones were pretty fascinating. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@LivingLikeLarry]

Nice yurt but that would be some primitive camping. I haven't stayed in one but the ones they have around here that i've seen are pretty luxurious. Still looked really nice and like it was pretty comfy bed actually.

[@trvlnthru]

Yes, I found some with electricity and running water but Jack was more interested in roughing it - but not too much. It rained a lot the first nighit we were there and had we been camping in our tent (which was our original plan), that would have been unpleasant. And we wouldn't have had a bed in our tent. It was very nice to have a bed at night. But yeah, I would have gone to a place with more luxurious yurts had it been solely up to me. But Jack said it would be an adventure and he was totally right. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Larry!

[@WeretheRoberts]

how many times walking down that trail w/ all those horses did you guys say, "Don't step in that!" hahaha

[@trvlnthru]

LOL. It was more than once. Thanks for watching!

[@jesshavinfun3547]

Love the ruins of the cabins! It's so interesting how the fireplaces hold up! Reminds me of visiting my dad's childhood home, the 1st time we visited their was a shell of a house, the next visit just the fireplace! Yes, his fam lived so primitive while my mom grew in luxury, lol. Man, I'm sooooo craving Italian food! Roasted marshmallows sound Delicious too! Thanks for taking us along🥰😊🥰😊🥰

[@trvlnthru]

Yes, the cabin ruins were so fascinating. I wish they had posted some information about it somewhere. We would love to know how old it is, when and why it was abandoned. Were there any other cabins out there at some point or was this a solitary cabin in the woods? We even tried to Google it and find more information but didn't find anything about it. The views of the woods and the river were wonderful too. Thanks for watching!

[@JessandJakii]

We'd never heard about anything like this! It looked like such a fun experience and so relaxing 😌

[@trvlnthru]

We hadn't heard anything about renting yurts until we started looking for a place to camp. It was such a cool weekend. I love comfortable hotel rooms... but this actually felt like an adventure. And relaxing along the river or by the firepit - and having a bed to lay in each night which we would not have had in our tent - did make for a restful weekend in between hikes. Thank you so much for watching!

[@ALifeintheParks]

I liked the idea of a Yurt but no electricity? I’m not sure I could cope with that.

[@trvlnthru]

I wasn't sure I could cope without electricity either. Jack sold the idea of staying in a yurt with no electricity to me as an adventure and it definitely was that. It was fun for a weekend. I don't think I would have been able to cope much longer than that without electricity. Thanks for watching!

[@ALifeintheParks]

@@trvlnthru It was definitely an adventure 😂😂

[@HeatherTravels]

Camping is definitely not our thing, but the yurt is kind of neat. Are ticks much of an issue in Virginia?

[@trvlnthru]

Yeah, it has been years since we broke out our tent. We kind of moved on from that kind of travel. But it was cool to try out staying in a yurt. Jack sold me on it as an adventure and it really was that. But it ended up being fun. Ticks are around in Virginia but we didn't encounter any on this trip (and never did all the years we lived there either - though we know people there who have). We even checked each other over for them each night of our yurt adventure and then again when we got back home from Virginia. But thankfully we were spared. Thanks for watching our video and commenting!

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

Some of the Ohio State parks have yurts that you can stay in. Not tried since we have a camper.

[@trvlnthru]

Do you know if the yurts in Ohio State Parks have electricity? We found some in the Carolinas that did but Jack seemed to think this one with no electricity would be more of an adventure. I suppose he was right. We had a great time. If we ever get a camper, I would enjoy that even more. But this was a step up from sleeping in our tent. Thanks for watching!

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

@@trvlnthru looks like most have electricity, some have private bathroom, mini kitchen, or running water.
