Mountain Laurel Yurt

Mountain Laurel Yurt

Please Note: Summer months May-Mid September can have warm/hot afternoons (80 degrees plus) from 1-5pm. Guests staying in a yurt should make plans to spend the afternoon out of the yurt due to afternoon heat. Bring a bathing suit, go tubing, kayaking, hiking in the mountains or tour the wineries. You will be much cooler. The yurt air conditioner will work better in the morning and late afternoons/ evenings.

For check in's please do not check in before 5pm and use the AC since it will not be able to cool the yurt/tent structure and such attempt is not environmentally friendly. You may check in prior to 5pm (3-9pm) and drop your belongings off and return after 5pm.

The Mountain Laurel Yurt is surrounded by mountain laurel has less shade during some parts of the day. It feels more private to some guests. It is 16 foot in diameter(200 square feet). It has the following amenities:
