Great weekend at the Yurt. Lots of extra cooking utensils and some supplies in the hut.

The forest service staff has really stepped it up! I took some supplies to the office beforehand to stock the yurt, and they took most of it up there. The smoke had nowhere to go but inside the yurt, even while adjusting the flues for airflow.
All in all, great place, great experience!

I love this yurt and have visited several times over the years. My last visit wasn’t good because the new wood stove leaked smoke inside, but hopefully will be fixed soon.

Great time, good Snow. Sunny in between the storms!
Broke trail in and out, luckily with good visibility . Some of the Trail markers, that were stakes in the ground, were buried under snow.
The Deck had 2-3' of snow at the door (which opens in) and snow covered over the railings of the deck. Found a small pile of split wood on deck after shovel clearing.
Had to dig 3' snow to get to top of main wood pile, after finding it with a probe. Decided to keep going and had 6-7' snow drifts to ground. Plenty of wood and plenty of snow burying it with no markers.
Plenty of people 'marking their territory' next to or on the deck.
No map of layout outside so ask support staff where the deck pile and main pile of wood is, outhouse is easy to spot at the backside of yurt. The little amount of information that's posted inside is helpful.
Mattresses were comfy, most yurts that we’ve been to the mattresses are thin and need to double up to not feel the rails, didn’t need that with the sturdy bunk beds of Limber Flag.
Received answers to all questions, great information, and help from rangers and other government staff when contacted.
Go with what the rangers/staff tell you is plowed for parking, unless you like to shovel out. Highly recommend 4X4 over AWD if a storm is in the forecast, helped others get unstuck.
Left it better than found it.

This yurt is an annual trip for our family and it is a great destination. We always go in winter and snowshoe into the area. Limber Flag mountain top is a great day hike. It’s three miles in and two of those are uphill and can be difficult in winter. Always allow enough time to get in before dark.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

  • For more information, contact the Ashley National Forest.

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.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
