Sunflower Yurt - Mazama special place

Summary:

Described by our guests as “a very special place” and a “little corner of heaven”, the Sunflower Yurt is nestled among the pine trees in a quiet corner of Mazama. This two bedroom yurt-style cabin is close to the trails and comfortably accommodates 4 guests in the two queen bedrooms. The open plan living space has a well equipped kitchen, dining table for four, lounge chairs and a gas stove. Conveniently located within the grounds of The Inn At Mazama and less than 200 yards to the Mazama Store.



The Space:

The Sunflower Yurt is a two bedroom yurt-style cabin strategically located on the nordic ski and mountain bike trails and near the main lodge of The Inn At Mazama. With 730 square feet of interior space, plus a large mudroom for wet clothing, boots, skis and other equipment, the yurt can comfortably accommodate 4 guests for a Mazama get-away. Enjoy mornings and evenings on your own spacious and private deck complete with a full BBQ for outdoor grilling.



Both bedrooms have a queen bed. The large, modern bathroom comes complete with a beautiful tiled shower. The kitchen and living room are one open space with a vaulted ceiling and oculus skylight at the apex. The kitchen includes a gas range/oven, refrigerator, small dishwasher, microwave, and other small appliances. Plates, silverware, and cookware are provided. The yurt also has WIFI, a Bluetooth speaker and a portable DVD player.



Toasty in the winter and cool in the summer, heating and cooling is provided by a mini-split heat pump in the living space. There is also a free-standing cast-iron propane stove and supplemental electric heat in the bedrooms and bath. Hot water is furnished by a tankless on-demand water heater.



The cabin is located on the grounds of the Inn At Mazama, and set back in the pine trees 80 yards from Lost River Road. Guests can use the Inn’s pool and tennis/pickleball courts free of charge.



The Neighborhood:

MAZAMA

The cabin is located in the grounds of The Inn At Mazama, just a short walk from the tennis/pickleball courts, swimming pool, and clubhouse (with private offices, co-working space, and yoga studio). It's also only 200 yards to the Mazama Store and the Methow Trails trailhead (for great hiking, mountain biking and cross-country ski trail options). In addition to the store with its great bakery and grocery, Mazama is home to the Goat’s Beard outdoor store (with mountain bike and fat bike rentals), the Mazama Ski School for cross country ski hire and lessons and the Mazama Public House.



NORTH CASCADES NATIONAL PARK

Central Station is also conveniently situated for easy access to the North Cascades and the trailheads to many of the Park's world-class hiking trails. It’s under 20 minutes drive to the Cutthroat Lake trailhead, 25 minutes to Washington Pass and 30 minutes to Maple Pass trailhead. Great for beating the crowds and snagging a trailhead parking spot at peak seasons.
