Mongolian Yurt on Lake w/Sauna
We had an amazing time at the yurts! The location is very beautiful and quiet. The yurts and grounds were well kept and the bed was very comfortable. The outdoor kitchen was great for cooking and they include most of the basic cooking equipment you’ll need. Our host was very communicative and helpful for a few small hiccups that occurred during the trip. There were also zero mosquitoes at this time of year!
The road was definitely an adventure as some other reviewers have pointed out. The conditions were dry when we went and we drove our 2000’s 4runner with 4x4, with no issues getting there. But I can imagine if the weather was worse it would be a different story. The road is actually relatively smooth gravel, but there are some sections that are very narrow and/or steep. I’d say 4x4 is not just recommended, but required.
Since the yurts are on the side of a mountain, you will need to hike a bit to bring equipment down from your parked car to the yurt, and also to get down to the beach. They are short hikes but you will repeat them frequently, so I can’t recommend this to people with mobility issues.
Overall we had a great stay: a beautiful location and great hosts. If you have a 4x4 and are in physically good shape, you will have a great time here.

Not for the faint of heart !
Mixed feelings due to how strenuous it was to get to. Roads were pretty treacherous, and once you get past what you think is the worst of it, you get to the driveway ! And this is coming from experienced drivers, who frequently drive on back roads and forestry service roads.
Do not recommend taking a large vehicle. And be prepared to do a lot of hiking up and down to your vehicle (which we were physically okay doing, but unprepared for how far it actually was from the parking spot to the yurt) and down to the beach. You definitely get a good work out in !
However, the location and the lake was GORGEOUS. Super private. Definitely made up for how awful it was to get to.
And over all, if we had a different vehicle situation, would most likely go back to !!!
Only other downside is it was incredibly hot in the yurt, and with the little windows open at the top of the structure, I got destroyed by bugs in the night, as it was too hot to be under any covers…

Glamping Yurt on Mountain Lake
We stayed for 2 nights on this beautiful property. Our host was very accommodating to us and my girlfriends dog. Definitely reccomend 4x4 for access. Would reccomend to others.

Mongolian Yurt on Lake w/Sauna
My husband and I greatly enjoyed our stay at the Mongolian yurt. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the yurt was very cozy with an amazing view overlooking the lake and mountains. You get to experience a quiet there that you don't get many other places. The outdoor kitchen was set up perfectly and cooking outdoors was amazing. We would also highly recommend booking the sauna experience!! We will definitely be returning again in the coming years.
One thing to be mindful of when you go is that you are in the wilderness and there are mice. It didn't really bother us but we did unknowingly take home a few tiny stowaways in our truck motor so do ensure you do not keep any food from your road trip in the vehicle!

Glamping Yurt on Mountain Lake
Beautiful location. Shower with hot water available and compost toilets. The green yurt is a little bigger with the cooking set up inside and the Mongolian yurt is a little smaller with cooking set up outside under cover. Both are really nice. No mouse problem when we were there. Not a far distance from the parking to the yurt or yurt to beach but it is steep if you have mobility issues.
