"I stayed in the yurt for two nights. The checkin was very easy - the hosts are kind and knowledgeable. The yurt was clean, spacious, had air and heat, a fan, plenty of outlets, and was close to both bathrooms. In addition, it has a deck with the most beautiful view of the mountains. The bathrooms/showers were clean. The group spaces were nice, with puzzles, games, and books. The kitchen area had a microwave that worked well. I’d highly recommend staying here, and look forward to returning."
