Wow! What an amazing experience! From start to finish, Megan and her family were so welcoming and kind. Megan was the perfect hostess with great communication and tips! The yurt and surrounding property are beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice! We had a phenomenal time and can’t stop talking about planning a fall and winter visit!
