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

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.
