Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE STAY

Room for the whole crew

The yurt sleeps up to eight adults on two large bunk beds, with 3‑inch sleeping pads provided so groups can spread out comfortably for overnight stays.

THE COMFORTS

Heat, light and a working kitchen

Modern comforts include a wood stove (with instructions), solar-powered interior lighting, a food-prep counter and kitchenware, and a two-burner camp stove with propane supplied.

THE RITUALS

Meals, games and the simple pleasures

A central table and chairs make the yurt a place to eat, laugh and play games; a stocked wood shed and a distinctive outhouse round out the on-site experience.

What the day feels like

What an evening looks like

Arrival brings a quick orientation to the yurt’s systems, then the evening settles into an easy cadence: building a fire in the wood stove, switching on solar lighting for indoor activities, preparing a shared meal at the counter or camp stove, and gathering around the table for conversation and games.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this yurt fits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Groups of friendsIdeal for a single-group rental of up to eight people who want communal space for meals and games and a cozy, social overnight setting.
2
FamiliesFamilies can fit comfortably—two large bunk beds sleep up to eight adults—but note the toilet is an on-site outhouse rather than indoor plumbing.
3
Large gatherings or eventsNot suitable: maximum occupancy is eight people, so the yurt cannot host larger groups or events.
