We loved camping at Turquoise Chief Yurt at Sawatch Base Camp. The views were beautiful and directions were clear. The host was very helpful and replied very quickly to our questions. The Yurt is amazing and cozy, it is fully equipped with most things needed. We travelled with a dog and a kid and they both enjoyed exploring around the yurt. The outhouse was better than expected and comfortable enough. Would definitely go again and recommend for those seeking a slightly easier camping experience.

We had a wonderful time staying in the Turquoise Chief Yurt. It had everything we needed, and the campfire sight was well stocked with wood. The pit toilet house was very clean and well supplied and maintained. I would definitely recommend this Yurt to anyone that wants to stay in that area.

Turquoise Chief Yurt
This was a delightful experience for a multi-generational camping trip. The grandparents were comfortable and not setting up a tent made it so much easier for us to support everyone. We had a great time, and will definitely be back. My husband and I would love to snowshoe in during the winter without the kids and parents.

We loved staying at the yurt! This was our second time back and it was as lovely as the first. The wood stove kept us plenty warm and the stars were unmatched. The kitchen was well equipped and check-in was easy. We can’t wait to stay again!

Beautiful winter hike to this cozy yurt! It was easy to find, a great size, very well stocked and had a comfy bed.
Bryce sent excellent written directions that we accidentally ignored…taking the longer Tennessee Creek trail instead of the Turquoise Lake trail. It honestly worked out though as it at least felt like a more gradual hike up and then we essentially made it a loop enjoying the Turquoise Lake trail coming back down with the beautiful views in front of us. The trail was groomed and easy to follow, but glad we brought snowshoes as it snowed a couple inches.

Bryce's yurt was fantastic. It's about a 4.5 mile trek in, mostly uphill, with snowmobilers driving by occasionally but it's not too bad and really pretty! The yurt was great, everything i needed and the wood stove stayed super warm. It snowed about 2 inches and was down around 0 degrees at night but I just needed a rumpl blanket and felt really comfortable. Great experience, really peaceful and beautiful, would definitely stay again

Bryce’s yurt is gorgeous! The view is amazing and the yurt is beautiful. We had a great time skiing up, cooking, and stargazing. Bryce is a great host - very kind and attentive!

We just returned from an awesome 3-night adventure at turquoise chief yurt. It's beautifully situated and well-supplied. We enjoyed the fresh powder ski loops and spectacular sunsets, along with playing games and cooking meals in the cozy space. Just a reminder to others that stocking the wood, cleaning out ashes and splitting some kindling will be greatly appreciated by subsequent guests. We came it late and needed to stock, clean and split for ourselves. We taught our kids to leave places better than they found them so they did the above and left a nice kindling teepee built in the stove, ready for the next guest to light. Hopefully others will pass it on! 😃

We had an awesome stay! The yurt is thoughtfully stocked and located in a beautiful, quiet area of Leadville. Bryce was quick to respond to our messages and made the trip easy to book. The yurt also stayed incredibly warm - we are excited to come back in the winter. Thank you Bryce!

This yurt has it all! We had everything we needed for a cozy weekend getaway! We loved how it was very secluded yet still had phone signal and was close to downtown Leadville. The stars were incredible at night and the yurt stayed super warm with the fireplace inside. It’s clear a lot of thought and planning went into making this a great place to stay!

Turquoise Chief Yurt was amazing! Google maps navigated us right to the yurt (summertime) and our AWD cars had no trouble with the terrain. The yurt is well stocked and has a well thought out lay out and amenities. We could tell how much work the owner has put into the property. Off the beaten path, we were removed enough from civilization that the dogs could run free exploring the forest and chasing squirrels. We spent a lot of time around the campfire (in a huge solo stove!) and enjoyed amazing views during the day and at night. There was even a telescope to get a closer look at the stars! Cannot say enough great stuff about Turquoise Chief Yurt :) Will definitely be back!

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience at Bryce’s Yurt. The yurt was clean and had everything we needed. Our dogs were so happy to be surrounded by the beautiful trees and explore the area. Turquoise lake is just down the road and one of the most beautiful lakes in Colorado. Bryce’s yurt was the escape we needed. We will definitely be back!

We loved the yurt experience on St. Kevin’s. It is a beautiful, remote and rugged location. 4 wheel drive is an absolute! We successfully pulled a trailer to the location with a Tahoe. Great supply of firewood and kindling at hand. Perfect location for mountain biking. Camping kitchen is well equipped. Bring your outdoor chairs for Solo stove fires! Simple bedding is provided so you may want to bring your own sleep bags or quilts. (We always bring our own). Bring headlamps to add additional light in yurt. Read all fine print on Hipcamp app b4 you arrive. Very helpful read!

The road to get to the yurt is barely a road. We had an SUV and we had to go so slow and got stuck once because the roads to that yurt have been washed away and they’re huge divots. We were unable to use the propane tank because it was twisted too tight to turn it off so we were not able to make our breakfast or heat up our dinner or make coffee in the morning. we thought for the price that was a little expensive.

What a great yurt!! It had everything we needed for a cozy weekend! We ended up having to hike a tiny bit to get to the yurt due to lingering snow, but we were prepared for that with Bryce’s excellent communication! We will def be back- both summer and winter would be excellent times to stay in this yurt!

Beautiful site, perfect for our girls trip. Bryce was very thoughtful about providing everything you might have forgotten or need extra of :) Very cozy and the best place to sink in and recharge after a snowy trek. Would love to stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at the yurt. It felt very secluded and the views were incredible. There was some very nice skiing in the glades around the yurt as well as the option for some bigger lines over at Galena mountain.
The yurt is a little bare bones but well stocked with everything we needed. We were happy we brought our water filter, as there can be a lot of debris in the snow from the trees. I would recommend bringing shoes/slippers that have some grip on the bottom as the path to the outhouse can get a little slippery.
Bryce was a good host and answered all my questions I had prior to the trip.
Overall it was a great experience and I hope to visit again soon!

Cute little yurt to take your send it significant other. Or if you plan on hunting in the gmu it would make a great base camp.

The yurt was super cute and the bed was comfy! It would be a tight fit to sleep 4, but doable. There were all of the cooking utensils we needed, and the yurt was very well stocked. It was very peaceful, quiet, and easy to get to (we did it as a nordic ski trip, which made the last uphill push on the groomed icy road difficult).

The yurt exceeded our expectations! It was extremely clean and organized. It has everything you need and more! The views are spectacular pm and am! The wood-burning stove was fierce! Kept us extremely warm while the snow was dumping down. It was a beautiful escape for a birthday getaway! I highly recommend this to everyone! We will absolutely be returning! Thank you so much!

Turquoise Chief Yurt
This was such an amazing backcountry experience in the winter! Gorgeous views on the hike in and even better views from the yurt! The yurt was cozy and had mostly everything we needed, which we were happy that we didn’t have to lug it up there.
We intended to snowshoe the road up to the yurt but the groomed road was mostly packed down and we just hiked on the snow instead. The listing says it is a 4.4 mile hike, but our watches clocked closer to 5 miles with ~1000 feet of elevation gain. The last mile is a doozy!
Overall stellar experience, tons of fun and we can’t wait to do it again!
