They include the following amenities: heat, electrical outlets, table + chairs, couch/futon, bunk bed with full size mattress on the bottom bunk, sky light, windows with screens, potable water supply, fire pit, and a picnic table. It's like camping but with a mini-apartment. The only downside is that sometimes the distance from the bathroom to the yurt can be a bit far. Especially in the early morning when you're groggy and it's cold outside :-). The yurt that we stayed at was $29 per day. We had a great time. We sat by the fire, drank wine, ate cheese and chocolate and had a wonderful yurting experience. I think that sometime soon, they are even going to let people have pets in select yurts. You could bring the dog and then you have no legitimate excuse ;-) @Dennis - I didn't know that "real camping" had to include a tent :-P @Tj - Yurts are great.

Not in a yurt, but in a tent. It was good. You know, REAL camping =) I’ve stayed at Honeyman. Not in a yurt, but in a tent. It was good.
