The property we named GAEA (the old Greek spelling of Mother Earth) was first seen in a vision. Historically, Deep Creek Canyon was a winter encampment for the Spokane Indians, whose ancestral lands surround us. We feel the healing spirit of the land, in partnership and stewardship. We gather community for Solstice & Equinox celebrations, bringing people together to honor the changing seasons. Our original house was one of the first in the canyon, in the early 1940's. There’s a map that leads you to hidden features, like the gypsy fortune-telling tea house, a fairy mound at the base of a huge fir tree, a yoga platform, and a Buddha bench for contemplating or conversation.

Tall pines site #2, shady, bigger

Jane and John have the most unique and welcoming space to share with others. Their passions and personal lived experiences are shown through their land as they have been there tending and caring for the earth for many years. Tent site 2 was at the end of the path into the woods and it felt secluded by the tall trees and dense cover of the forest. One day there were at least a dozen turkeys that walked by. The bathrooms are comically decorated and permaculture friendly with an outdoor shower to gaze upon the beautiful forest beyond. There are many little paths that lead to elements within the forest like the fairy tree, the Gypsy Rose trailer, a yoga platform, and a buddha bench. Their space is located down a few miles of dirt road and just outside a town that will have all the food and any other amenities you may need. I had an exceptional time and most certainly will be staying again.

Yurt at Gaea Getaways

Gaea Getaway

Our visit to Gaea Yurt was wonderful! Jane was a great host. She was very thoughtful and kind. We came to the Spokane area for a concert at northern quest to see Michael Franti and the yurt was 10 minutes away. Jane also told us about a rock climbing area 10 minutes down the road and we spent the afternoon exploring it. Our weekend getaway was perfect right down to the Gypsy fortune trailer!

I'll stay here again!

A great spot. Jane met me at the bottom of the hill and drove my camping gear up to my camp site. My friend joined me for the second night of camping and we used the wheelbarrow to haul his gear to our camp and the next day when breaking down camp. This is a rustic camp sot , which is what I like! No RVs with all their lights and generators. The neighbor Jack ass was my alarm clock one morning;. I saw the same doe and her two yearlings each day, the second morning they walked right next to our camp. The first night I heard a distant owl. Now I know where I can camp when visiting Spokane or in this case the bluegrass festival.

Tall pines site #2, shady, bigger

Simple beautiful property! We only stayed for a night as we were passing through. We stayed in campsite #2 and would definitely go back for a longer trip! Campsite was very spacious and private but a small trek to get uphill (don't worry though! Jane has a golf cart and very graciously offered to take our stuff to our site and wait for us. She did offer to give one of us a ride cause she had room but we wanted to walk). Toilet/outhouse was nice to use as well despite or being saw dust! It was private and has a (cold) shower I enjoyed using the following morning. Please DO call Jane though 20 minutes before you arrive!! Cellphone service drops quickly and is no existent and you WILL NOT know where to go if you do not call. We didn't get lost or anything, but it was the one request she had/has and you should just respect that ❤️🏕️
