Weekend Trip to 'Driftwood' Year Round Yurt + Sauna

Directions were clear. Property and yurt was beautiful and very clean!!! Host was very attentive accommodating and friendly!! We did not have grilling utensils and I just sent a text and Isabelle brought them right to us right away! This trust had everything I needed for a much needed relaxing weekend. I even ready two books that were provided inside the yurt! Unfortunately I did not get to enjoy sauna due to husband wanting to go to the bike festivities. I will be rebooking next year for a girls weekend! Highly recommend this cute little yurt ❤️

We could not have asked for a better time. The pictures are legit and the yurt had everything we could have asked for and more. We even had a few family members drop by to visit, and they were very impressed by the amenities and the spaciousness of everything. We will be back next year!

2 nights at 'Driftwood' Year Round Yurt + Sauna

Absolute magical nature getaway with all the comforts of home. The yurt was such a unique to place to escape into the North woods of Wisconsin in February. Hosts were very responsive and more than accommodating. Loved experiencing the sauna and relaxing by the bonfire in the crisp cold morning air. Everything felt luxurious and special while also being clean and beautifully decorated. Truly felt like a retreat. We can’t wait to come back. There was a lot to do in the area and we had access to further explore surrounding Wisconsin and the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan from the yurt.
