First, the owner ... Vern was a very nice guy, we enjoyed meeting with him and he was very responsive to any question. His advice was spot on and even though we arrived at the yurt a little early, he was very kind and down to earth with how he responded. Second, the location - this is a wilderness type area and has a twisty, uphill, gravel driveway, a 4-wheel drive may be best during rainy season. While I enjoyed the "wild" nature of the surrounding property, this may not be for everyone and some trimming may be needed. The property is a little overgrown and this would be a lot of work for anyone. This said, it worked for me and Vern is trying to grown some new trees after some storm damage took some of the trees that were in place, so he is definitely working on the property for the long term. Third, the yurt itself was beautiful and nicely decorated (we stayed in the green yurt). There may be some dust in the hard to reach places, but well appointed with everything you need to enjoy an evening in. The bathroom and laundry was awesome and made our stay very easy. Only thing I would change is the toilet seat (personal preference - hard seat). Shower was great, sink and washer/dryer all excellent! Fourth, location, this was only 10-12 minutes from the West Entrance of GNP. There are many choices within a short drive (10-15 mins) for food, gifts and camping needs. The pizza place at the corner of Route 2 and Seville = excellent. No more room - I'd highly recommend.
