Yurt Stay Disclaimer Please note that this property is a traditional canvas yurt, offering a unique glamping experience that allows you to enjoy nature while still having many of the comforts of home. Because the walls are made of canvas rather than traditional construction materials, the yurt has minimal insulation. Temperatures inside will naturally fluctuate with the weather outside. While heating and AC is provided to keep the space comfortable, the yurt may feel cooler during cold nights and warmer on hot summer days than a conventional home or cabin.
