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 or think of it as a worthy donation. 

ATTENTION TO THOSE USING THE CABIN/YURTS IN APRIL 2020:  We recommend that renters bring their own sanitizers/disinfectants during the COVID-19 health safety situation.  With cold temperatures, we're unable to leave liquids inside the facilities for this purpose without them freezing.  Wipe surfaces and take out EVERYTHING you bring in.  People occupying the cabin/yurts should be family members that you live with.  Please do not bring friends at this time for everyone's safety.  Thank you for your support!
