Loved this little Yurt. My Fiance and I got almost a foot of snow in late june but the Yurt was VERY cozy with plenty of things to do nearby, game to play and a stove to keep us warm. The yurt is really well maintained and in gorgeous country. We will be coming back.

We have used this yurt every year since 2016, and have never been disappointed. The Forest Service does a great job maintaining the yurt, the surrounding area, and the vault toilet. We do wish that some of the users would be more mindful of those coming afterwards. This year, I had to clean trash out of the outdoor fire pit before we could use it. Then, on the second morning, when it was raining, decided to make an indoor fire in the wood stove and found it full of trash and ashes. I tried to burn the trash, but when I cleaned the ashes I had to pick out several pieces of foil. Is it such a burden to take a trash bag with you and carry out your trash? Pack it in, Pack it out!!!

We were in the area elk hunting so the location was very convenient. The facility itself was clean and provided everything we needed.

This yurt is fantastic. The area is great and they have thought of many things inside that were needed. Clean and windows are great.
Mosquitoes were in full force this time around.
