Recharge on steroids

Very quaint and comfortable. I stayed over a few days of torrential rain in the area and the yurt stayed 100% dry, cosy and comfortable throughout. The hosts Don and Cherie were incredibly accommodating and generous.

Restful

All I’d hoped for in a yurt. Bathroom was surprisingly roomy.The bed was comfy and warm, thanks Don for putting the electric blanket on as we were late due to the road closures. Loved Jack the dog! Would stay here again.
