    Such a stylish and cozy yurt in the mountains — I can’t wait to come back! 🏔✨

    I’ve stayed here many times when it was known as “Sorensen’s.” This was my first visit under the new ownership running it as “Desolation Hotel.” I liked the addition of free EV charging. The staff were pleasant. I did not care for the “modern”...

    Effortless check in. Staff were friendly. Location was amazing. The accommodations were plush and the yurt was exceptionally comfortable and private. Will definately be returning.

  • Miguel

    Amazing location, surrounded by mountains, trees and a beautiful river. The yurt was beyond expectations, with all amenities one could need. The grounds are extremely well maintained, and a cozy sitting area with hammock, chairs, flowers, cornhole...

    I love the room design and the fireplace. The kitchen was great too. There is a variety of cabins, so you will want to reserve the one that suits your needs best.

    Loved how cute and cozy our cabin was. It was also really convenient that we could order food and have it delivered to us. We absolutely loved the sauna as well, it was perfect after a full day of skiing.
