Really fun Yurt

Mother / Daughter trip to find gems. The Yurt is walking distance to downtown. From the deck it is a fantastic view of mountains, the town, and sunsets.
Pano view from the deck.

Wonderful stay with a Wonderful View

Our Curling club along with a few others hosted a Bonspiel in Philipsburg, our 3rd annual. The location of this rental, cleanliness and comfortable layout make it a must stay for anyone traveling to the area. Thank you again for being wonderful hosts with a well kept, well stocked rental property in the greatest little town in Montana.

Fabulous yurt

We enjoyed our stay in a fun and unique lodging. The yurt had everything we needed to be comfortable. It also had many unexpected accommodations like games and movies for fun if there was ever a dull moment during our stay. We look forward to future stays here.

Comfortable and clean place with many amenities. Games and movies for kids, loft space was ideal! Ice rink was right out the back door and many places were walkable from the yurt. Well stocked kitchen and bathroom. I highly recommend this place to stay. We will be back!

Amazing family fun!

This was the perfect place to stay for a family ski trip to Discovery. While it is a 30 minute drive to the ski resort, it is such a fun little town and the yurt was perfect for our family of 5. The kids loved the loft and the master bed was super comfy. The kitchen and common area set up are plenty roomy and the location just up the hill from the community ice rink was perfect. BTW - the ice rink is free and even provides skates of all sizes at no charge. Come check this place out - just not on the same dates that we want to be there next :-).

So much more space than expected, and so clean and nice

This was our 6th visit to Pburg, and our first in the yurt. It was so much more spacious than expected. The 4 of us were very comfortable, and the location is awesome. We were able to walk to downtown easily, and of course the ice rink was right below us 😊 Also stayed toasty warm, even though it was quite a cold weekend.

Great location and perfect layout for a group!

We had a great time at the yurt. The layout was great for 6, we never felt cramped. It was perfect to be able to walk to down town P-burg each day/evening. Yurt was clean and cozy!

The yurt Burg

The yurt would be fine with a young family only. We were 2 sisters and their was only 1 comfortable bed in the one bedroom. One of us took to the loft (very uncomfortable) so hot the couch, not good sleeping either. There was no coffee and we ran out of toilet paper and there was no backup.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 March 2020
Thanks for the Feedback. It was a mid August Stay so yes the Yurt can be a bit warm until the sun goes down, There is AC and if it is on all day it helps but it is still Mid August. We do not supply coffee for guests. We do try to stock some basic spices. The woman who cleans for us just plain missed the backstock TP, such a bummer and had we gotten a call would have been there in a few minutes to grab some out of the storage shed, it was plain human error on her part, and since we did not know we could not remedy it, sorry. As for the beds, Yep it is a Yurt with a sleeping loft, as advertised on the site. The fold out couch on the main level is the best we could by with a meomory foam mattress, sorry it was not adequate for you. It sounds like you decided to utilize the loft. We have 2 twin beds and a full sized bed and all three are what I would characterize as normal quality, with 2 being new when we built the yurt in 2015 and one we had, with over 300 guests the only complaint we have gotten outside of no WIFI is this one. We have spoken to the cleaning staff and can assure folks the TP shortage is not something that will happen again. Regards Todd and Mary Frank 10, Septemeber 2018

About the host

Hosted by Eric Bunting

Host profile image
My wife and I are Native Montanan's, Mary grew up in Philipsburg and her family has been in the area since the late 1800's. We wanted a place that we could use but also a place for friends, family and vacationing folks could stay. We live in Missoula - about 80 miles from Philipsburg but spend most of our free time around the area. My wife's parents still live in town so we have a local contact.

Why they chose this property

We have owned this property for almost 30 years and decided to build a Yurt on the property as an alternative to building a small home. It allows us some flexibility and we think they are amazing and unique structures. It has a large deck space that overlooks the town and ice rink. We think it is a great location, with an easy walk downtown to shop, have a beer at the brewery, grab some food or just hang out.

What makes this property unique

Most folks have never stayed in a Yurt and we think it is a unique experience that people will really enjoy, being able to watch a lightning storm through the dome or watch the stars is a really fun feature. The Yurt also allowed us to build a very efficient space. It is Only heated fully when occupied so all the plumbing is contained in a small space that is very efficient to heat when the Yurt is not Occupied.
