The yurt was clean, spacious and very comfortable. We had the best sleep in the bed. The campground was very rustic. The roads to the campground and within the campground were more suited for a truck and not the rental car. We were not able to get wifi despite trying various locations within the campground. The listing advertised washer and dryer but there was not on site laundry. The host did provide directions to the nearest laundromat.

Very nice property, but important information only provided upon arrival

Very peaceful and scenic property. Great to explore and relax. Very cute beavers to watch in the evenings. Last minute information about where to meet for key and not being advised in advance that you cannot drink the water was a bit frustrating. Also the “kitchen area” indicated on site is more of a shared Coleman stove, so some of the items we planned for food we couldn’t cook as we had expected an oven. (All totally fine points, just frustrating to not be clear before arriving). Once we were there the owner was very helpful, even dropped off extra towels and toilet paper. The mini fridge freezer compartment smelled like something was dying, and there’s a lot of mold in the shower. Sometimes no hot water for showers, and when there is it lasts about 2 minutes. Overall a great experience, just some minor frustrations

Playground & Mini Putt were shabby. Campground was just fair. Dome was good, but had a hassle with getting electric on, fire alarm kept going off, shower had black mold in it, 2 towels provided for 2 ppl over 2 days. No recycling bins in dome. Had to keep swapping propane tank between heater & dome heater. Ideally, should be one tank for each. Fridge was not plugged in and took a day to get cold. Dome was overall wonderful, as was the view, but there is no sound proof and you can hear everything and your neighbors. Pillows were quite flat and there is only one blanket. Advise to bring your own pillows & blankets. No fitted sheet on bed and mattress had stains on it. Check in & Check out were wonderful & streamlined.

Amazing spot to relax! Or have a mini-moon!

We stayed for 2 nights right after getting married so it was a mini-honeymoon for us and it was made extra special by the host with rose petals sprinkled in the geodome when we arrived! We thoroughly enjoyed the property as hobby photographers and “Justin Beaver” visited each evening. The host, Yun, was easily accessible if we had any questions and very thoughtful and she helped make our stay feel like a honeymoon - we also ordered the dinner package and charcuterie board and we loved having the board ready for us when we arrived. We can’t wait to go again! If you want a little break - this is the spot to do it! Bring comfy clothes and bug spray and soak up the sounds and the view and go off grid for a while ❤️

Beautiful dome!!

We enjoyed our stay at Breezy Petals however it was the weekend of March 25th. We had a cool night on the first night. But the hosts worked out the heating problem for our second night. It would have been nice to be able to shower, however we choose this time of year because it was our anniversary. So again it is the time of year we choose to go. The host once again supplied us with water. They were lovely people! I would absolutely go again in warmer weather!! It is a beautiful spot even in the rain
