Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous yurt experience! Extremely comfortable lodging. Experienced thunderstorm, cold, rain but so warm and comfy in this yurt. All solar powered. We had everything we needed. Also saw a Moose on the property at the small pond! We want to definitely come back. ##### cyndi d. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael A. Aug 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was a one-of-a-kind experience and I wish we could have stayed longer! What Chris is doing with his property in Poncha Pass is incredible and must be seen to be believed. We never expected the yurts to be so luxurious and fun but it was way more special and memorable than staying in a hotel! The kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom amenities were excellent and we were comfortable both in the day and night. The pictures and description really don't do this place justice and we're really happy to know that places like this and people like Chris exist in the world. ##### Michael A. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dave and Becky M. Sep 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Outstanding stay overall with the exception of two items. There was no top sheet provided on the bed and it said linens were provided. There was only a bottom sheet and a large comforter and blanket so that was not acceptable for us. Second thing was the road, and we were informed that the road was rough, but it was beyond rough in some spots. There are at least two spots that are in severe shape and desperately need to be filled with dirt or rocks. Otherwise the overall stay was outstanding. ##### Dave and Becky M.
