Birthday Weekend

We truly enjoyed our weekend at the Hummingbird Yurt! We got to the campsite after dark and it was so great not to have to set up a tent! Being so close to the river, my family was able to fish, play, read and relax whenever we wanted, which made for an amazing birthday weekend for my husband! There were other families also camping that weekend and all the kids enjoyed ā€œhunting for ghostsā€, although they werenā€™t able to catch any! We will definitely be returning!

Great property on the banks of the river. Dedicated tables, grills and firepits for each yurt. Clean bathhouse. Wish we could have stayed longer. Only thing not perfect was a squeeky bed

Great way to spend a 2020 holiday!

My family and I just got back from our stay at the hummingbird yurt. Given that it was nearly winter, we didnā€™t do any tubing or get in the water. The yurt was comfortable enough for 4 of us, but Iā€™m glad we didnā€™t bring the dog too, or we would have been stuffed in there. We were plenty warm, but unfortunately the showers were pretty cold. She did warn about, although the sink trick didnā€™t work tok well.

Perfect get away. Yurts to get hot during the day, but that's what the river is for!

Well maintained and marketed with honesty about issues like the sulfur smelling water. Beautiful spot. We had a grand time fishing and swimming with the dog.

Wonderful Getaway

A beautiful property on the river! We loved the yurt and how cozy it was. All of the provided amenities were fantastic! Close to stores for easy shopping, if required. Very close to some amazing hiking trails. Bathrooms and showers were very clean! Easy to buy firewood on site. Loved our visit and will definitely go back!

Beautiful location

We Booked a yurt for stay during my brothers wedding. Location was beautiful. Hearing the river rapids at night was amazing. The mooing cows were an unexpected touch. It accented the 'mountian abiance'. Not sure why but, I didn't expect the "glam" part of "glamping" to be so pronounced. It was a great motif! We wanted the yurt experience to help check off another first time expepirence. And it did that for sure! I believe the decor was lost on two masculine type guys who were used to the roughing it camping and wanted a step up. Over all I give the entire experience a 5 star rating. And, yes I would and will reccomend the site to others!

overnight stay was expensive

We enjoyed are stay but felt the fee was expensive for what we received. Hard to get in touch with owner and it seems like the Yurts could use some TLC. Beautiful property.

Cozy and quiet

This was our first time staying in a yurt and we really loved it! Annette has all the necessities - coffee maker, mini fridge, microwave and a crock pot! Perfect for a weekend stay! We plan on coming back in warmer weather, but it was super cozy with the heaters provided. Highly recommend staying in the Hummingbird yurt!

Birthday weekend getaway!

We had a great time at the Hummingbird! It was roomy enough for 2 adults and 2 kids (8 and 13). We enjoyed being steps away from the river. The bathhouse was just behind us as well. Super convenient. Looking forward to our next stay!

Wonderful Time!

It was a wonderful stay. The Yurt and the bathrooms were nice and clean. It was right on the water. I wish they would have had some cards or games there in the yurt to play. And that fact that it wasn't shaded by the trees did make it a little hot mid day. But still had a great time.

Better than expected and very comfortable

Property was nice. It was right off the highway so a bit noisy at times from cars but easy to drown out. Our yurt was steps away from the river and the breeze from that and the soothing noise made it very comfortable. The Cherokee Rose Yurt was better than expected. Nice big beds! Annette was wonderful. She accommodated our needs and helped us figure out a longer canoe route. She also provided us with transportation back to the site after our canoe trip. We were able to rent her canoes and that was extremely convenient! She also recommended a great pizza place. We went to the restaurant but they would have delivered. Everything was in working order. No complaints. Great little vacation! We would go back.

Lovely place for a stay!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Hummingbird Yurt despite the fact that it rained all weekend. The yurt is well-kept, as is the rest of the property, and had everything we needed for a great stay (it was cold and the space heater did an awesome job!). This is a fun, affordable way to escape the city for a few days for someone like me who hates camping. Thanks Annette!

overpriced

even with 3rd night free, price was too high for what was available. Could have had a nice hotel room with all the amenities. Had a good time, but with having to go to a bathhouse I would think the price should be about $50 a night. Yes, scenic, yes, close to lots of good hiking - just too expensive.

About the host

Hosted by Annette Cates

Host profile image
My roots run deep here in Page County as I come from the Peter Ruffner Family... I feel blessed to have been raised here in Page County and I wish to share the blessing by sharing our place so all can create memories with their families that will last a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

Along with the Rock Tavern Cabin - #1 Rock Tavern River Kamp was part of same property that my Uncle Abe and Aunt Lizzie owned - they operated a tavern and rented campsites for years. I am grateful to get this property back in the family. When I was a young girl - I would fish from this riverbank with my Mom and Dad along with Uncle Abe - we would go dipping and have the best time - I have fond childhood memories here.

What makes this property unique

Our Kamp is of unique character with 12 sites ( 4 of which have yurts for rental). If you have always wanted to go camping but do not want to sleep on the ground....this is for you! Staying in a yurt is quite the experience - one cannot explain - must experience it for yourself- There is just something about 'Vacationing in the Round' words just cannot express.
