Check your email - you have to call ahead of time to get your code (which you didn't used to have to do). Could end up getting stuck outside the yurt.

We enjoyed our winter yurt trip. The 3 mi in and out were quite strenuous but the overall experience at the yurt was great. The views were gorgeous and the yurt was well equipped and spacious. We can't wait to come back with a few more friends maybe in the summer time!

Second time, yurt was lovely with beautiful beautiful views. Beds are new and very comfortable. Apparently they took out almost all of the cookware because of COVID, so while we were expecting what was in the pictures, we had to use one pot for all of our cooking and snow melting. This information wasn't in the email.

We had a great time and can't wait to come back during non-COVID times with friends! Even though they seem to have cut down on kitchen supplies, you do NOT need to bring any extra fuel or cookware besides cutlery and bowls/plates... we were unsure what we would be working with so we definitely overpacked. There are also shovels and lots of firewood. You should bring extra fire starter material, though.

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.
