JUST 20 MINUTES OUTSIDE OF DULUTH ON THE BORDER OF JAY COOKE STATE PARK. Enjoy this tranquil yurt nestled in the trees overlooking a mowed meadow, providing a hybrid experience between camping and staying in a cabin, or ‘glamping’. You’ll be surrounded by nature and wildlife, sheltered by the canvas ‘yurt’ and sleeping in a comfortable king bed. There is a small solar power system in the yurt and shared porta-potty (~100 yards from yurt). Guests provide necessary water for their stay.

The space
The "Hemlock Yurt" is a 20ft diameter (roughly 315sq ft) Colorado Yurt Co. yurt built on a solid insulated platform. It is located on the border of Jay Cooke State Park, nestled in the trees overlooking a farm field. The Yurt is located a short walk (approximately 300 yards) from where you’ll be parking your car. A small cart is provided to bring your bags back to the yurt. If you are coming and going after dark, we recommend bringing a flashlight. Grounds are kept intentionally dark for star gazing.

Please Note: This yurt has a propane stove that is used for heat only in the shoulder season months of May and October. It is disconnected and shut off June-Sept, as heat is not needed during these months.

About the Property: The property is a mix of fields & forest. It borders Jay Cooke State Park, a deep ravine and neighboring farm fields.

WHAT TO EXPECT STAYING IN A YURT:
Our yurts provide a hybrid experience between camping and staying in a cabin, or ‘glamping’. Combining the best of both, you’re surrounded by nature and wildlife, sheltered by the canvas ‘yurt’ and sleeping in a comfortable bed ( bedding provided). A solar power battery provides power for ambient lighting, a place to charge phones and plug in provided fan. A small washing station is provided just outside the yurt for hand washing/brushing teeth. Guests supply necessary water for their stay.


BATHROOM(PORTA-POTTY): The yurt doesn’t have a bathroom. There is a port-potty, approximately ~100 yards from yurt. This is shared with other yurts on property. Behind the yurt we provide a small washing station for light washing and teeth brushing. Guests supply necessary water.

NO SHOWERS:
There are NO showers. Guests often take advantage of area lakes and rivers to rinse off.
