The Yurt was great to stay in. The road gets a little bit messy the last part up but we were able to make it our Nissan rogue. Everything was clean and very well kept.

We were a little nervous when the lock wouldn't open but it did, I believe it had to be pushed up and then pulled; There has been small green propane canisters in the past for the lantern but there were not any that were full, so plan on taking in your own. A spatula for pancakes is also something you should bring. Last folks who stayed didn't put very many wood pieces inside to be dry and ready for starting the fire. Otherwise it was a great stay, hard hike for the youth, but great for them. Thank you!

Wonderful time in the winter. Would definitely bring some duct tape to fix the windows as they are ripping and let in cold air. Also bring lanterns because it’s pretty dark in the yurt.

My partner and I spent two days at the Limber Flag Yurt for New Years Eve. It was amazing! The yurt was well stocked with fuel: firewood for wood stove, butane for lantern, and propane for large cooking stove. There was a large pot for melting snow, a smaller pot for boiling water, and a cast iron skillet that we cooked NYE prime rib in. Despite the other reviews, the stove gave us no trouble and kept the yurt warm the whole time. No smoke inside at all and we kept it burning at full force the whole time (due to 8 degree temps outside).

Our plan was to do some backcountry skiing, but coverage was not ideal. There was about 12 inches of fresh powder, but no base. On our way in, we skinned up from the E McKee trailhead, which led us up steep although direct route up the NW side of the mountain. This lent to a fun/dangerous/rocky/powdery ski back down on the way out. On our full middle day, we toured up Limber Flag to assess coverage. We decided against any runs down off the ridge, but there were a few fields that were fun to ski through. Overall we had a blast and would love to go back when there is a bit more snow!

Worst experience in my life. There was no access. The road up to the yurt was just one giant mud pit. I could not pass through even in a truck with 4 wheel drive. What a joke. Don't waist your time.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
