The property is absolutely beautiful. We rolled up just in time for an epic sunset. The yurt is cozy and warm, thanks to the propane fireplace and charming decor. Even the kitchen sink and outhouse are ingenious and adorable. The guidebook to the yurt was so cute and informative--our daughter enjoyed flipping through the handwritten and drawn pages.

I love love love this spot. I decided to do a road trip instead of fly to my destination just so I could stop here and stay overnight. The site at the top where they are building a glamping type dome is just gorgeous. 360 views. Last fall I stayed here with my dog, and I have since lost him to cancer so this trip was a bit of a memorial. I remember him joyfully running around and exploring as the sun set on the mountains. Definitely recommend if your goal is privacy, beauty, and plenty of space.

Overview
About
Massacre Rocks derives its name from a wagon party skirmish with Native Americans, but don't let its grim name deter you. With the bloodshed long gone, all that's left is the stoic land that exudes a calm ambiance. An extinct volcano and gigantic boulders give hints of the area's storied past, and it'll be hard not to study the land as you hike along with your friends. Keep an eye out for eagles and coyotes, or search out a beaver dam for some photo opps. Frolfers will love the disc golfing holes catered to them, and both motorized and non-motorized boating means you can explore the waters in whichever way you see fit. Whether you're playing a game of basketball or just checking out the unique plant life, Massacre Rocks quickly comes to life with the right people around.
