We had a wonderful time at the Nauti Otter Yurt Village. Check-in was easy, our yurt was cozy and clean, the shared bathrooms and kitchen were very clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We look forward to staying there again in the future.

This was the best glamping experience! There was a shared cooking area with running water, a shared fridge and microwave as well as a stove. Both the toilet and shower area were clean. The host was helpful and friendly and had a great fire going in the fire pit area, where there were chairs for people to gather. This was amazing!

This place is a hoot. Each "room" is actually just a small stand-alone structure: mine was a small cabin and the guy next to me was staying in one of those old '50s trailers. Bathrooms and showers are good; can either use the ones outside the main house or those inside. Really fun place. Only a few minutes north of town. Okay to cook your own food in the main house, which has 2 kitchens. Good choice to stay there as long as you don't need a big room.

It was clean all over. I chose to sleep in the little spaces with the curtains and it was very comfortable. Staff were very helpful and provided help when needed. It was a nice experience actually making the waffle batter and you could make a chocolate chip version. Water was clean and tasted great. They also started a new company called “Otter Express”. They’ll save you lots of time if you don’t have a way of traveling to and fro.
