Glamping...in a Yurt

Glamping...in a Yurt! It is no secret that we LOVE Southern Utah. In fact, I secretly want to move there, specifically to Escalante. There is just something special about that town...if you’ve been there, you know what it is, if you haven’t, you need to go there! Where to Stay? Escalante Yurts! There is not a better, more relaxing place to stay in Escalante than Escalante Yurts. While you may be thinking: how can staying in a yurt be relaxing?! Well, because these are not your typical yurts, Escalante Yurts are glamping: they have comfortable beds, bathrooms, kitchens, fire places, and air conditioning. I mean, really, they are beautiful. This visit, we stayed in the Cedar Yurt. The Cedar has two bedrooms (each with a queen bed) and a loft with three twin beds. It also has a full bathroom, kitchen and dining area and living area with flat screen tv. Each yurt has a wrap around deck with chairs for you to enjoy the quiet nature of the grounds. While we were outside one morning relaxing on the deck, I saw a yellow and black small bird as well as a bright blue bird! It is even better to sleep with the windows open, enjoying the nighttime sounds while tucked snugly in my bed. The only problem with these yurts are the fights between the kids over who gets to sleep in the loft! It is hilarious; in fact, this time they sat in the loft overlooking the living room to watch tv! Ha!

It was handy to keep them out of the way while I made dinner.

Another fun part of staying at Escalante Yurts, especially for us is how family friendly they are! They have hammocks throughout the property and a secret swing (which, I kid you not my kids spent hours on!). In the morning, the hammocks were the favorite place for my kids to sit. There are also these cool swings hung on a pergola that overlooks the property. Again, my kids loved them. This time around, I got to sit in one and read my book, I may or may not have fallen asleep while reading.

Each evening, we gathered around the fire pits (there are a few located around the property) to roast marshmallows. The fire pits have everything you need for your nightly fire (except the s’more ingredients). Ahh the perfect place to stay while enjoying all there is to do around Escalante!
