Yurt for the birthday win
Stayed here for my birthday celebration and to reset/recharge. Very clean and accommodating. Beautiful views, peaceful nights under the stars in the hot tub, cozy fire pit outside and fireplace inside. This was perfect.

40th Birthday at Yurt
We had a wonderful time at the Yurt. We only left once to get breakfast. Spent most of our time enjoying the hot tub and the fire pit.
This property has a refrigerator and a toaster oven. Also has an electric grill outside that worked great for making our steaks. There is no stove or microwave. Kitchen had silverware, plates, cups, and bowls. Also had a coffee pot.
The bathroom was super clean and was equipped with towels, wash cloths, and outlets. Came with soap and shampoo but no conditioner. Which was fine because I brought my own.
We tried to find access

Blue Yurt
The location is perfect & quiet, with a beautiful deck, view, outdoor fire pit, seating, & lights. The yurt & facilities were clean. The fireplace was well used as it got chilly in the night. Our only complaint was the hot tub wasn’t warm when we arrived, but it only took a few hours to heat up.

Loved it!
This was a great deserted weekend away. We were a little bummed there wasn’t too great of access to the river behind the yurt. We planned on doing a lot of fishing on the property. We were able to get down, but it wasn’t easy or worth the hassle. We ended up spending a lot of time at Sam A. Baker state park and had a great time. We even floated on the river one day and had tons of luck fishing! All in all, the yurt was a great stay! We would definitely consider staying again, and exploring the other state parks in the area.

Perfect
My fiance and I actually only live about 20 miles away from this location but we needed a few days away from people, places, and things and this was perfect! The yurt was perfectly decorated and so romantic with the hot tub right on the deck! Literally we would not have had to pack anything as we discovered there was everything we needed right there already! It rained the entire time we were there but it didn't matter we enjoyed each other's company and the sounds of nature! We would definitely stay again in the future! And since the day we booked the host was super quick to reply to all of my messages and inquiries! If I could give it 20+ stars I would!

Nice family getaway
We loved the ease and comfort of everything. The place was immaculate and nicer than any hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The hot tub was a nice bonus as well as the sunset from the balcony. Top Notch accommodations and you’ve definitely raised the bar for me.
