About this property

This is a fully functional, fully equipped yurt located in the magnificent Unaweeep Canyon. It offers all the amenities of home while still allowing a strong connection with the outdoors. The origin of the "yurt" or "ger" can be traced back to nomadic tribes of Mongolia. While the modern yurt offers a few extra creature comforts, the essence of living in a round structure has remained the same!!!!

Property was double booked, owner would not pay for hotel room

I drove with my family 4 hours just to stay at this yurt in the middle of nowhere, only to find it was double-booked and we would not be able to stay. Contacted the owner and he blamed another website, said they had done this to him before and that he wouldn't use them anymore - still one month later his listing his still on that site. He was apologetic and offered to help us find a place to stay, but w/dogs and a child I ended up booking a cheap hotel 45 minutes away thinking he would reimburse me. No luck. After several attempts to clear this up with him I am left with only the option of a bad review. The yurt itself looked ok, though not as pictured, and there is another vacation rental that shares the same driveway and is nearby, also not mentioned in his description. Overall it was a terrible experience: a waste of the little vacation time my husband gets and couple tanks of gas. Staying in a crappy hotel room with 2 dogs, a grumpy husband, and my 3 year old who was crying about not getting to stay in the yurt that she was super-excited about was not fun!

Great place!

The valley where the yurt is located was wonderful, like camping in a secluded spot but with the comforts of home, I’d definitely recommend this spot

Unbeatable Location

This property is in a unique location, and is perfect for solitude and enjoying the outdoors in a beautiful and remote location. Hiking is available right outside the door. There are also hiking trials close by. The stargazing at night is magnificent. The Yurt itself is roomy, the loft area is perfect underneath the clear dome. The kitchen and bathroom make staying in the Yurt very manageable and comfortable. The owner Nick is responsive and clearly interested in making certain you have a great stay. We loved the warmth of the pellet stove, and enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and the large grill. Do not pass up an opportunity to stay here!

About the host

Hosted by Property Manager/Owner

Colorado is home and it's where I want to be! I grew up in the mountains and canyons of this great state. I don't plan to leave anytime soon. I respect all people and all points of view (mostly!). I thrive on fresh air, the outdoors and l love a good sweat. Traveling is a passion, at home or abroad. I have trekked through the Rockies, Andes and in between. I have gotten lost more than once. I like beaches, tides and gritty little towns. For me it's all about people and the places they live. How they survive and how they enjoy!

Why they chose this property

If you've never experienced staying in a yurt, now is your chance. Staying in a yurt means staying connected with the outdoor environment. The breeze, the smell, the sounds and of course the VIEWS!! This is truly a unique experience. Come experience it for yourself!
