Our yurts are snug and airy circular structures, with a dome skylight. They're professionally designed, built of fir and canvas. They include queen size beds, electricity, heat, phone, internet and cable connection.

A yurt is a circular domed tent over a collapsible lattice framework originally used by pastoral peoples of inner Asia. In our yurts you can expect to find bunk beds, a propane heater, a gas stove, a lantern, a table, cooking utensils, pots and pans. There are winterized toilets near each yurt.

Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness. It occurs when the body becomes unable to control its temperature: the body’s temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body is unable to cool down. Body temperature may rise to 106°F or higher within 10 to 15 minutes. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not provided. See similar questions...

Yes. Any entrees that have been stored for you in your freezer should be defrosted overnight in your refrigerator then heated, to be enjoyed at the peak of their flavor. I'll always leave you with easy to-follow heating instructions for each entree. See similar questions...

Heat stress occurs when the body's reaction to the environment causes its core temperature to rise above safe limits. This can result in a racing heart, profuse sweating, dizziness, reduced energy and slowed reaction times. This reduces safety, decreases efficiency and lowers productivity. See similar questions...
