The yurt may not be for everyone but we loved it: cozy, unique, comfy bed, even a vintage Wurlitzer. We didn't get to meet Carrick but he was friendly and responsive. The outhouse (with running water) and outdoor shower remind you that it is glamping as advertised but it's far from roughing it. And the price is right. We'd definitely do it again. Only possible drawback is that it's in a "developing" area of East LA and you need to drive for good eats/walks.
