The Nordic Yurt — Restaurant in Utah

Our children gave us the awesome experience of a snowshoe to the yurt for Christmas last year. Fortunately our son and his fiancée live in Heber and were able to join us! This was such a fun, adventurous, delicious experience! We had never done anything like this before, and loved every minute. It totally exceeded our expectation. It was a beautiful evening to snowshoe and our guide, one of the owners, was terrific. As we approached the yurt we couldn’t believe how charming and comfortable it was! We were welcomed by the other owner, the guides darling wife. They both made us feel so comfortable, with a fire outside, and yummy fondue appetizer inside the yurt. We were warm and so happy! And the dinner! I’d like to get the butternut squash soup recipe because it was the best I’d ever tasted. The entree was equally delicious as was dessert! After a fantastic and very memorable evening, we all snowshoe back to our cars. It really was an evening will we always remember so fondly. We highly recommend this...

My girlfriend and I did the Nordic Yurt snowshoeing activity for Valentine's Day and it was wonderful. The snowshoe trail to the yurt is just over a half-mile each way so it's not too challenging, even for beginners. Upon arriving at the yurt, they have both propane fireplaces as well as a real wood firepit, all with lots of seating to sit around. While waiting for the four-course dinner to start, they have an unlimited hot chocolate and s'mores bar that we took full advantage of. The dinner consisted of soup, salad, short ribs, and dessert. I didn't care for the salad but all the other courses were great. Once dinner ended, they gave us another half-hour to relax around the firepit before snowshoeing back.

The ambience at the yurt was great, especially for Valentine's Day. We loved the decor inside the yurt too. And perhaps the best part of the entire experience was the high quality service we received from the staff at the yurt. I would definitely recommend this activity and we would love to go back...

I want to start by saying that although the service was great and the short hike to the yurt was fun, the overall price of $250 for this activity is absolutely not worth it!! So I am literally giving it 2 stars because it felt more like a rip off. Look, the food was just ok, nothing incredible, and you get small portions (you are better off going for a steak at Ruth's Chris). There is no way that access to the resort, rental of snowshoes, that food, and the "guide" is worth $250. The guides were great, awesome individuals, nothing against them but again. Why even have a guide for this activity? The walk to the yurt is probably 20 min. You can see the yurt from the main center, you can't get lost, again is just to simply increase the price of this activity given that gratuity is also forced on the total. Felt pretty disappointed. For that money go do something else and go have a nice dinner in Park...
