Great place with insane views. Our group had six people and we stayed for three days in the yurt. The experience was somewhere between a camping and glamping. The yurt can support eight people no problem, it has a wood fireplace with chimney and all the basic kitchen utensils to make your stay comfortable. The porta potty however is an adjustment. Throughout our stay we had cellphone network good enough to make video calls, no way to charge your phone though(unless you're carrying a solar charger)! One thing to note is that to reach the yurt, you need to hike 1.2 miles up hill from the road so its best to reach there while the sun is still out as the route gets a little tricky in the darkness. The up hill hike was particularly challenging for the group, but having said that no one in the group can be called fit :P
Great experience & beautiful location! We snowshoed in with a multi-generational group of 7 (2 even being young kids that were new to carrying a backpack further than into their school). Everyone made it just fine and we even brought WAY too much stuff with us. They really do have plenty of air mattresses, mattress pads, pots & pans, and chairs. Everything for making and tending a fire and for cooking was readily available. There is a deck, fire circle with log seats, port-o-potty (which was ready to be emptied), signs & markers on the trail, fold out cots, old bunks with springs and sleeping pads, and a number of air mattresses with a hand pump. There was also a true gas stove, a wood stove, a table for prep, a table for eating, and a sink/cutting board table. Really, an incredible, peaceful, secluded, and well maintained setup with gorgeous views.
Awesome time and great views
Love this spot
