We absolutely LOVED our stay in the Yurt Nest!! It was so cozy and relaxing. It rained one night and we got to fall asleep to the sound of the rain on the roof. The furnishings are laid out perfectly to maximize comfort while maximizing space. The Yurt Nest is just 5 minutes from downtown but feels like a safe mountain retreat, providing the best of both worlds. Valerie is awesome: she is a kind and fascinating women. You could spend hours getting to know her, however, if you want privacy and to keep to yourself, she has great social intelligence and will provide you with what you need. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and would recommend anyone to stay here.
