About this property

Snowshoe or ski and relax by a warm wood stove while playing games!

This is new yurt as of 2017. We have a lot of yurting experience and we think this yurt has it all. It is remote and high up in the mountains, yet only an hour from Provo, Utah. Come stay for one night, the weekend, or a whole week. This yurt has it all!

In the wintertime, snowshoeing or skiing to the yurt makes for a beautiful trail. Your destination is just over 1.5 miles and is a cozy 20' diameter yurt tucked back into a grove of aspen, pine, and junipers. The yurt is located at ~ 8,300' elevation. There are several slopes nearby if you wish to do some back country skiing or good o' fashion sledding.

In today's busy world of technology, it is incredibly enjoyable and rejuvenating to be far up in the mountains with those you love and care about without any distractions. Snowshoeing and backcountry skiing during the day, and relaxing, playing games, and laughing the night away. That is what yurting is all about.

Missed Opportunity?
Never actually got to stay. Was quite excited, but the remoteness, detailed chores associated with the stay, and traveling alone, seemed better to forfeit. Maybe next time.

Wonderful Stay!
Honestly, there is not one negative thing I could say about this property and my stay there! I surprised my husband for his birthday and invited all his snowboarding buddies! After a warm night in the magical yurt they built jumps and did some back country boarding! I'm not too well versed in snow sports but they said it was a perfect place for it and had an absolute blast! I could not recommend more for a sweet little weekend getaway! Thank you Soldier Summit Yurt!

About the host

My first yurt experience was 6 years ago and I was hooked. Mountains, wood stove with a warm fire, and surrounded by friends. What more could you want?! Eight of my girlfriends and I set out for an adventure and it is something we all still talk about and cherish to this day. In fact, it became an annual tradition for us! I met my husband and he quickly got hooked as well and joined in on our annual yurting adventures. In today's busy world of technology, it is incredibly enjoyable and rejuvenating to be far up in the mountains with those you love and care about without any distractions. Snowshoeing and backcountry skiing during the day, and relaxing, playing games, and laughing the night away. That is what yurting is all about.

If you've never had a yurting adventure, you're going to wish you discovered yurts a long time ago! If you've already been yurting, then you have lots of your own stories and we don't need to convince you of anything. Come visit Soldier Summit Yurt! A brand new yurt located in Utah county.

We look forward to your stay!

Why they chose this property

It is brand new (as of 2017) and we have put six years of yurting experience into building it. This yurt has it all.

What makes this property unique

Nothing beats staying at a yurt. You've got to try it and then you'll know. It is primitive, but completely comfortable. It is where the best memories are made!
