LUXURY!!!! It was so cute, comfortable, great location both to the adorable town and for adventuring in the parks, and decorated and outfitted in a very high end way. The bed and bedding was like sleeping on a cloud. We stayed here in September and the temperature (AC) was delightful. It comes with breakfast- a great idea but... I definitely would recommend (and possibly stay here again) although it was quite expensive and depending upon what you are used to or expecting, it might be quite irritatingly noisy. You see, there was a multigenerational family staying in 3 cabins and in the evenings, they sat around the bonfire pit (near the covered area with hanging chairs). They thought it was fine if their kids ran chased each other while yelling, and used the chairs as swings. This went on both nights we stayed and very much impacted the peace and quiet we thought we'd find while staying in a yurt in the middle of nowhere.
Here are the things that I hope they'd consider to make the stay (even) better.
Clothing: It would be nice if there were some drawers to unpack clothes. The only thing we had was a standing coatrack. Also, it would be nice to have had hangars so that we could hand wash some clothes and let them dry outside/or a small clothesline and clothespins. If they don't want wash hanging on a clothesline, then at least hangars and a place to hang them inside.
The light on the mini-split unit is VERY bright at night. Would have been nice had there been tape or a cover/cloth. And while I guess it's not possible to have a shade over the skylight, be aware on a full moon night, the yurt is VERY bright inside for sleeping.
There was only 1 tiny bar of soap in the bathroom. We would have liked at least two so we didn't need to move the bar from sink to shower. Also tissues.
Now for the breakfast: The menu sounds delightful, but the execution needs attention. Both days were fairly high carb, low protein, quite small meals. The quiche with goat cheese that put into the fridge was still frozen the next morning, making it soggy. The breakfast burrito with sausage was minuscule as was the fruit cup made up of 2 strawberries, a couple of grapes and a slice of orange- hardly worth the disposable plastic cup they were packed into. There was gorgeous looking pastries (chocolate croissants or something like that), but what really would have been nice would have been some low-fat, low sugar Greek, hard boiled eggs, and a sizeable portion of fresh fruit. Perhaps an choice would be helpful as perhaps people might prefer the "elegant" high carbs, low protein and appreciate the goat cheese and sausage, both of which are not in my diet). Also, we are decaffeinated and don't drink artificial creamer. So decaf tea and real milk would be greatly appreciated!
