It was def an experience!! I really appreciated all of the essential items included in the yurt such as newspaper and matches for the stove. The trails around were beautiful and we definitely got to enjoy nature like we had hoped for. Definitely would go back here next time we go up to Flagstaff.
Great location, easy drive up and accessibility, clear instructions, and the trails are right there.
We camp often & bring more for our benefits but this place has it all down to extra seating & a beautiful fire place while you star gaze within your tent. Book it now!
This was the 2nd time I stayed at the Nordic Village, the 1st time was a cabin and this time a yurt. Loved getting out of the Phoenix heat and enjoying the outdoors. Great location. And added bonus....the roof of the yurt has a sky light so you can look at the stars as you are drifting off to sleep.
