If you’ve never stayed in a yurt before, expect to find minimal amenities with water and heat available in a simple setting.

A step up from normal camping, you’ll find that these yurts are surprisingly cozy like you’re very own cabin in the woods.

You’ll be able to find peace and quiet in nature, but also an amazing location with just the right amount of seclusion.

Enjoy the sunsets from your back porch—and a little tip for any renter—try to score Yurt #4 for your stay, it has the best waterfront views and is right on the edge of the peninsula.
