Cabin and Yurt Rentals

Cabin and Yurt Rentals

Staying at one of our yurts or cabin is a rustic, back country experience. All the public use facilities are within a 2-mile hike from the Nature Center and are open year-round.  The rental price includes parking for up to 4 vehicles. You will receive an email with detailed information and parking passes once your reservation is completed.  Please print this out and have with you at your rental facility.  Please place parking passes on your cars' windshields.

Facilities may be rented up to 1 year in advance.  Once made, your reservation is not refundable and date changes are not allowed.  If you can't make it, we suggest that you pass the reservation to a friend. 

$80/night for non-members of the Eagle River Nature Center; $70/night for members whose membership is current.  

Paradise Haven Cabin sleeps a maximum of 8 people; River Trail Yurt sleeps a maximum of 4; Rapids Camp Yurt sleeps maximum of 6;  Yukla Yurt sleeps up to 6.  If you have the maximum number of people, 1-2 people will need to sleep on the platform floor.  Don't forget to bring your camp sleeping cushions.
