what a fun adventure!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in the yurt. It was a fun filled learning adventure and reminded us of how to wisely regenerate our resources (i.e. composting toilet) for supporting the land. It was a beautiful and peaceful location.

Wonderful getaway

We had a great stay! It's a great location for hiking and swimming. The yurt is gorgeous, really cozy and well furnished. We were amazed at how well the indoor composting toilet works! And Alice was incredibly responsive and accommodating, most of our questions were answered by the binder left in the yurt. Would love to come back sometime!
