The yurt, kitchen, wind protected area were all as described, only better. The view of the ocean is indescribable, the quiet, and expanse restorative. We bought the full monty for a 3 night stay and had more than enough fuel for heat, light, and cooking. We found the mattresses in the yurt extremely comfortable. It was perfect to quench our thirst for something rustic without having to do much work for it. We loved exploring Santa Cruz, kayaking Elk Horn Slough, and watching the elephant seals at Ano Nuevo all within an easy drive. The thoughtful touches such as dishes and pots made it easier to whip together a tasty meal after a ling day of exploring. We’d like to second the importance of taking seriously the risk of Lyme any time you are in nature (even the beaches) of North California, as the risk is real though rare, and very easily prevented with some insect repellent. We are only a family of four but would definitely recommend the large yurt especially if you have a larger group as it would present a high value for an uncompromising experience.
