It was not actually inside nature. It is located by the highway (and it is blocked by the mountain on the other side) and all night cars are passing by. So it feels that you are sleeping by the highway inside a tent. So much noise. Also, the wooden beds sound horrible. Any movement and then the sound is worst than the highway noise!

This property is not as described. Next to freeway. Very small. Does not actually offer "adventures" but contracts with local companies. Actual property is very small. Property is an eye sore, which was surprising considering the beauty of the environment around it.

The yurt was so cute and I loved it. The only thing was the heater in the Yurt would not turn on. Not sure if we were doing it wrong but we tried for ever because it was a colder night. I was prepared and brought up extra blankets. I will come back again for sure!!!!
