... like to confirm the booking on 17 Oct 2015 to 19 Oct 2015 (2 nights) 1 Lodge double room. We would like to arrange for airport pick-up and return to Ulan Batar for...
We stayed for a couple of nights in the family ger and loved it, especially my 8 year old daughter. It was lightly snowing when we arrived but our ger was cosily warm, thanks to the woodburner that had been lit before we got there. The restaurant has a wide range of Western and Mongolian options, including vegetarian food. We would especially recommend the potato salad. We hiked up the hill for a fabulous view over the surrounding area and also went horseriding. If we go again, we would choose to stay in a ger again rather than a cottage or room because it was cosy and comfortable.

Wow, thanks. You still gotta have gers! And, believe it or not, what guests want from gers...has changed a lot, over the years. We are periodically re-sizing, and re-fitting our gers to accommodate, and augment what our guests are looking for. Whereas we have a wide range of accommodation TYPES, we want everyone's experience to be the same......quality, clean, no surprises....out past the edge of town.....

Hira- Wow, thanks! We especially appreciate your comments about maintenance, and our staff. We like to think that we work hard at crew training, and keeping the burned-out light bulbs replaced! You should have been here when the power was out, in the surrounding area.....and seen how our standby system works!

Nice room with balcony. Have hot water for bath but not stable. Comfortable bed. Can go hiking during the day or go for horseback riding nearby. Beautiful mountain/forest views. Very nice environment. You also can choose to live in Ger, (Mongolian) is a portable, round tent covered with skins .

Thanks for the nice review. As for the hot water- we hear you! We just added another 100 gallons of capacity to the place. We found these really cool units that will work with a heat pump, and don't overwhelm our electrical capacity. This seems to be working out quite well. Trying to balance our extreme sanitary standards (dishwashers, on-site laundry, endless cleaning) with the need for hot water, on demand....just got better!
Again, thanks! We appreciate your comments.

Spent to wonderful days in Ayanchin Four Seasons Lodge, located that the National Park. Booked a Ger and our stay was wonderful. The facility is well maintained and accommodation clean and well maintained. There is choice of cabins or Ger which has no attached bathrooms (adding to an authentic stay, less answering the call of nature, in nature). There are room with attached bathroom if you so desire. They are adding some new Gers with attached bathroom. In the main building there is a kids play room, games room and even Karaoke room for rent. Food is decently priced and the portions are huge. Breakfast is included into the price of accommodation. French Toast and pancakes are must try. Menu includes Mongolian and Western food. Excellent way to end my time in Mongolia. I appreciated the way the staff were working hard to upkeep the place. Will be back!

Dear Michael- Thanks for your nice review. We sincerely appreciate it. And, we look forward to your return! One correction for our Trip Advisor Followers. The new Colorado Yurts are FANTASTIC. They have fireplaces, with glass fronts, attached decks, and lots of privacy. Unfortunately, they do not have attached batrhooms. Our approach to our camp is to only have 24/7/365 plumbing on the property, and the remoteness, and privacy associated wit these Colorado Yurts, makes "year-round" plumbing them cost prohibitive. That being said, we are planning to locate a "seasonally-plumbed" bathroom out near the new Yurts, this coming summer. Stay tuned for that! Again thanks for your kind review. We especially liked your comment about maintanence....

My wife, child and I spent last weekend at Ayanchin Lodge. We stayed in the Main Lodge, in a hotel room, with the main goal being to catch up on your sleep, hang out and have some nice “Western Food” and to escape the bad air in Ulaanbaatar. Goal accomplished! The two most important phrases that describe Ayanchin Lodge are: (1.) The Place is predictable and delivers. (2.) Everything here works! Hot water. Cold beverages. Room heat. Clean Sheets. Convivial environment. Nice. We mostly hiked around the area, and ate in the restaurant. Food is great and they have a nice mix of “Western Food” as well as the best Mongolian Food in Mongolia. We spent a few minutes with Mandah, the Proprietress, and were impressed with her commitment to the constant improvement of the place. She also gave us a tour of the new “three story ger” they are building on the property, and promised to come back in 6 weeks, and be the first to stay in it! Great experience.

Hey, "Gertech" is finished, and we're having a lot of fun with it. Guest reaction has been pretty rewarding, so that's good. We're constantly amazed at how our guest's expectations have changed, over the years.
