1. Modern and spacious yurt with a full kitchen (from USD 206)
This 30-foot (9.14-meter) yurt effortlessly combines rustic charm and modern amenities. It also comes with a lot of space — the two queen-size beds can comfortably sleep six people, and the kitchen area has all the essential appliances and utensils for cooking.
Outside, there’s a sitting area with a large fire pit. This is the perfect place to sit back, relax, and gaze at the stars. You can also do some stargazing inside because the roof has a clear section that lets you see the sky without any obstruction.
If you’re looking for more fun, you should explore the area outside. There are trails nearby that will inspire you to take a hike, and you can fish or ride your canoe on the Pier Marquette River. If you like to go on a drive, then you should stop by other attractions, such as Millpond Park and the Luther Area Museum.

Are you ready for Upper Michigan?
Most of the yurts in Upper Michigan are truly eco-friendly with solar lights, bunk beds, and tables. However, it’s highly recommended to bring your own towels and sheets for hygienic purposes. Nonetheless, these yurts will prepare you for a good night’s rest as you canoe and experience other activities in the area.
