Elk Moon is a single yurt perched in a open clearing above the forest. Overlooking Mt Hood, Mt St Helens, Mt Adams and on the clearest days-Mt Jefferson. It’s a lovely open space where we’ve been joined by deer, elk, bald eagles, osprey and more. There’s an intimate relationship with the clouds here-sometimes wrapped in them, sometimes sitting on top of them-but everyday is dramatic and stunningly beautiful. Learn more about this land: Relax and rejuvenate your senses in a comfy, cozy and spacious 20 foot off-grid yurt. Wake up to the sunrise out your window and the site of Mount Hood and three other mountains on a clear day. Fall asleep to the site of the rising moon and the stars, enjoy the sounds of wildlife mixed with interesting sounds from the farm. Even the clouds feel dynamic and special here. This space has everything you need to enjoy time away from the city. Elk Moon has a secluded feel in a meadow at the top of a mountain surrounded by forest, but w/ neighbors not terribly far away. Enjoy coffee and meals inside on a basic two-burner camp stove or drive a short distance to town. A charming and clean composting toilet is located a few yards from the yurt. It is always cleaned in between campers. With hiking right outside your doorsteps and fantastic mountain views, Elk Moon is ideal for nature lovers.

It Yurts So Good

This Yurt experience is special. I loved how isolated in nature it felt, while only being 30 min from Portland. There were deer in the road on the way up to the yurt, the nighttime rain was relaxing, and the woodfire stove kept the space nice and toasty. I took Janna's advice and booked a soak at the Grand Lodge, which was the cherry on top for a solo getaway. I'd love to come back in the future!

Comfortable yurt stocked with basics for a very comfortable night. We cooked, played games, star gazed, and enjoyed the quiet on this lovely property.

The property here was gorgeous! Wonderful view of the night sky, beautiful mist in the morning. The yurt itself was cozy and had a wood burning stove inside.

Good, but not entirely as expected

The view wasn't what I expected. The trees are much taller now which blocks much of the view. As well, the highway was loud which affected our sleep a bit. I wouldn't recommend for light sleepers.

Starlit Serenity

We had an amazing time at the elk moon yurt. We arrived late at night to a beautiful starlit sky and woke to an amazing sunrise. The yurt has all the privacy one could ask for when on a getaway. It was the perfect place to come back to after I proposed to my partner. Janna was super accommodating with booking and very responsive. I definitely recommend this place and we will absolutely be back.
