Idyllic location to disappear from the busy world and just enjoy a weekend of peace and quiet. Easy access to trails while maintaining a feeling of separation from society. Fantastic hosts.

So many wonderful things about our stay: the yurt itself (clever and comfy), our host (so helpful and friendly), and the local area (when they say birders are welcome, they mean it). We came up to spend the weekend for our 30th anniversary and added to our bird life list. Memorable, and very much worth a repeat stay. This yurt takes "glamping" to the next level, so if you've ever camped and loved it... we highly recommend!
