Kate was a lovely host! This was such a magical stay for my friend and I! We have been getting together and making art and music for over 30 years. This was so perfect for us to get off the beaten path, experience stunning views, and great hikes in between painting and music sessions! My first ever yurt stay was everything I could have asked for! Thank you Kate!

A great experience. Kate’s love and respect for the land shines through. Her beautiful sense of hospitality is expressed in each decision of the unique space she has cultivated. I felt welcomed and appreciated. After a taxing couple days in the wilds of NM, this yurt was the perfect spot to rest, reflect, and recover. I hope to return again someday.

This is a lovely rustic experience. I am camper at heart and this is the perfect inbetween for a Glamp Camp experience.
The road up the mountain is steep but doable. I made it up in my old loaded SUV easy. Just take it slow it’s bumpy.
The yurt is spacious and dreamy. Kate had a great eclectic vibe. The camp kitchenette was humble and charming. You can expect fresh drinking water and little pot to wash your dishes. There is a little propane rocket stove to heat your water for coffee and she supplies a cooler but you have to byob ice. 🧊
I stayed on a cool night and the propane heater kept us warm. I piled the blankets on thick and turned it off around midnight to avoid any CO2 issues. When I got up at dawn the yurt was cold! But it didn’t take long for that tiny propane heater to warm things up again.
Outside there is a composting bucket toilet. If you really wanted to you could probably leave the door open for a poo with a view.
The shower area is modest and breezy. I didn’t take one as my bucket of water was cold and I was in a hurry to head out.
I brought my pup and Kate’s dog 🐕 and my pup played so well. Late evening showed me a great hike. I’m so grateful for my stay !
Lots of rest and rest and reset. Thanks Kate.

Amazing views, breathtaking sunsets and stargazing. Chilly outside, but the yurt was fairly well-insulated and there was a wood stove inside (complete with all fire-starting equipment), a large propane heater and plenty of high-quality blankets; you will not be cold, despite it’s spaciousness! There was a kitchen area, handwashing station and small backpacking stove for cooking. We also enjoyed her thoughtful selection of books. The outdoor shower area was unavailable for use at that time, but we didn’t miss it. The composting toilet was completely enclosed for privacy. Every area of this glamping experience has been pragmatically considered, not only for utility but also aesthetic design. We felt very safe there. You can tell how much reverence Kate has for her land and we are thankful for the beautiful experience.

Yurt was lovely, private and quiet! Kate is very attentive, easy to reach, and helpful! A great place to get away and find some peace.

What a special place! From Kate’s warm
greeting and yurt orientation, to the beautiful views, to the amazing decor in the yurt, this trip was exactly what i needed for a weekend of solitude. It was cold (in the 20s at night) and the stove and amazing blankets kept me cozy. I can’t wait to come back - and even booked my next trip here already! Thank you to Kate for opening up your place to visitors!
