"Yurt #1 absolutely blew me away. It was every bit as beautiful and whimsical as the photos promised. Heidi went above and beyond from the moment I booked. She helped me arrange a last minute extra night without any hassle, and even made sure there was a warm fire going and a s’mores kit waiting for me when I arrived late in the evening.The bathhouses was hands down the cleanest I’ve ever seen. And I have stayed at campsites across the whole US. Plenty of hot water, fresh toiletries, and clean...

10/10 Excellent

"Cabin was clean and"Cozy"!!! We enjoyed our stay. We brought our own supply of fresh water and there is not a connected bathroom but there is a clean outhouse a few steps away from the cabin. There are trails around the property but we didnt get a chance to explore. We would definitely go back!"

Secluded, Cozy Cabin with Hot Tub in a heavily forested setting. Great Location.

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at this cabin — it was absolutely perfect for a couples getaway. The property felt very secluded and private, even in the winter with the leaves off the trees. The hot tub was incredible and worked perfectly, and we had zero issues with heat, water, or anything during our stay.Check-in was extremely easy and seamless, which made everything stress-free right from the start. The location couldn’t have been better — so close to Natural Bridge and the skylift, yet still peaceful and tucked away.Honestly, there was nothing more we could have asked for. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, private cabin escape."
