Have you ever had the pleasure of staying the night in a yurt? These circular, tent-like dwellings are commonly used by Mongolian, Siberian, and Turkish nomads; however, they can also be found as lodging for those who wish to have a unique outdoor experience right here in Colorado. If this piques the interest of your inner adventurer, check out this cool retreat in Hotchkiss where you rent one for yourself.

The Yurt at Screwball Ranch is a gigantic 900-square-foot mansion of a yurt that has to be seen to be believed.

Screwball Ranch Indoor plumbing = my kind of camping.

As if the yurt itself isn’t reason enough to visit, the accommodations are just a hop, skip, and a jump away from such must-see Colorado attractions as the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.

And, of course, you’ll be in Colorado wine country!
