COVID-19 Resources:
Cleaning Routine- It is the responsibility of the guest to clean after themselves before check-out. A cleaning checklist is provided. However, sanitation and safety is very important to us. After each guest leaves, a professional cleaner arrives to ventilate the area, sanitize commonly used surfaces, and wash the mattress protector. During the cleaning, mask and gloves are worn.
We have a flexible cancellation policy. For the safety of our community and cleaning crew, we ask that you stay home and cancel your booking if you are feeling any of the following symptoms:
-Cough
-Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
-Fever
-Chills
-Muscle pain
-Sore throat
-New loss of taste or smell
Solar Shower and Popup Tent: (SUMMER USE ONLY Winter is too cold to use the solar shower as it is heated by sun and outdoor temperature) We recently purchased a solar shower and shower popup tent for guest use. As this is a recent addition, we are still waiting to hear from guests on how well the products work. However, here are links you can watch about it:
Solar Shower: ***Guests must bring their own water**** (Creek is currently dried up due to drought)

Guest access
The pavilion, trail, and field is a shared space. You will notice that the reviews from guests usually highlight the privacy and seclusion. This is because it is an extremely low traffic area. However, if someone is on the property during your stay it is likely a neighbor, or the property owner and their family and friends. They are respectful of your privacy. However, I am your host so if you have any problems, questions, or complaints inform me through Airbnb.
The out houses are set up for guest use.
You are welcome to cross country ski around the property.
Other things to note
For those who have never experienced a yurt before, it is important to know that planning and preparation is key to having a great experience. Remember to bring all the essentials as if you are camping without running water and electricity. The creek is available in the summer, but it could possibly be frozen during the winter months. When choosing which bedding to bring, a warm seeping bag is probably the best option if you prefer not to stoke the fire during the night. Summer nights in Idaho can be pretty chilly, low 50’s and upper 40’s, so a good blanket is still important.
Pet Rules and Fees:
-Maximum 2 pets
-$10 additional fee
-Don’t leave pet unattended
-Pets are not allowed on the furniture
-Clean up after your pet (clean pet hair in the yurt and dog poop outside on property)
Keep in mind that weather and time of year can really impact your stay:
Summer is great!
Fall is gorgeous!
Winter, well it’s a yurt! It was made for winter! And the area is a perfect little wonderland. Just please keep a close eye on the weather. If you arrive after a snow storm, our main road and our parking is plowed, but on our trail you may need to walk through some snow and push some snow off the wood pile.
Spring can be a gorgeous time in the valley, as the valley is green with snow capped mountains. However, the weather can be variable. Spring storms can make the roads slushy and the area muddy.
