The snow was bedecked with many different types of animal tracks that we enjoyed studying. Shakti/Carolyn had warmed up the yurt for us since 7am to ensure it was warm for our arrival. I still recommend bringing your extra blankets & clothing layers from home. While the yurt has many amenities like a stovetop, mini fridge, & some electricity, it's still camping & there will be an element of "roughing it" in a winter yurt.
Shakti was very kind & responsive & made herself available. The land was semi-private & overall very quiet, though we did run into & could sometimes hear some other humans. The walkway was a little bit of a trek, 1/8 mile or so which was fine for us, but for someone with a disability, might not be too accessible. The yurt also had 4 or 5 wooden stairs with a railing & the bathroom was a similar length walk. We had access to a shower, toilet, & running water & a utility sink where we could wash our dishes from cooking in the yurt. My boyfriend kindly woke up every 2-3 hours to load the fire with wood overnight. I got to see a purpose driven, hypermasculine part of him unlocked in this place that I don't always get to see ^_^ Finally the décor & items in the yurt all appear to have a story, & everything feels very homey in that way. Thank you for the memories, we'd love to come back!
