Mount Snow Yurt FAQs

Everything you need to know about your stay at our luxury mountain retreat in New England.

Mount Snow Yurt is a luxury mountainside retreat with a private creek, outdoor sauna, firepit and hot tub. Only 2 hours from Boston and minutes from Mount Snow Resort in southern Vermont, our unique yurt-shaped cabin combines the adventure of outdoor living with upscale comforts you'd expect from a boutique hotel. Unlike canvas glamping tents, this is a true solid-construction cabin with 27 insulated walls instead of 4, real indoor bathrooms with flush toilets, and year-round climate control. See how we compare to canvas glamping and traditional cabins.

Inside you will enjoy hotel-like bedrooms, 1.5 spa bathrooms with rainfall shower, private loft, gourmet kitchen, pool table, entertainment area, and a cozy wood-burning stove that creates the perfect ambiance. Outside, your private hot tub and cedar sauna await, surrounded by forest views and mountain tranquility. Everything is included (including premium linens, toiletries, snacks and cooking essentials), so all you have to do is show up.

Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, a ski weekend, or a peaceful nature retreat, Mount Snow Yurt offers a once in a lifetime stay that will make for an unforgettable luxury experience.

For alternative payment methods like Zelle, Venmo, ACH bank transfer, or Bitcoin, contact us directly. The full reservation amount is charged at booking, though we're happy to work with guests who want to split payments with friends or arrange something unique.
