34mi from Boise · 1 site · Lodging
Surround yourself with nature on nearly 45 acres of secluded mountain land a mile above the South Fork of the Payette River between Banks and Crouch. This private yurt offers a true off grid mountain experience with electricity, Starlink internet, heat, AC, propane cooking and a wood stove for cozy nights.
This is not a neighborhood or resort setting. This is real mountain wilderness. If you are looking for a Terrace Lakes style community experience, this is not it. If you are looking for quiet, privacy, stars, wildlife and adventure, you’re in the right place.
Sleeping arrangements comfortably accommodate up to five guests with one bunk bed and a futon. Bring your own bedding and pillows based on the season. We recommend zero degree sleeping bags in winter and lightweight bedding in summer. Towels are not provided.
There is no running water and no shower. We provide fresh five gallon drinking water jugs and a clean private porta potty. There is a sink inside for washing dishes.
The yurt is heated and cooled with a mini split system. We do not provide firewood for the wood stove or firepit. Firewood can be purchased locally in Crouch or Garden Valley. There is interior lighting but no exterior lighting, so bring headlamps or flashlights for nighttime use.
Cooking amenities include a two burner propane stove with cast iron griddle, a private deck with propane grill, and a fully stocked cooking setup including dishes, utensils, spices and olive oil.
The yurt is accessed by a short walk from the parking area and terrain may be uneven, muddy, snowy or icy depending on weather. In winter, AWD or 4WD with winter tires or chains is required.
We live on the property but respect your privacy completely. You will not see us unless you request assistance.
This stay is perfect for hikers, snowshoers, hunters, anglers, skiers, rafters, kayakers, off roaders and guests who want a true wilderness experience with modern comforts.

You could say Boise National Forest is in the tri-forest area. It is surrounded on all sides by Payette, Salmon-Challis, and Sawtooth National Forests, it is situated conveniently close to both urban fun in Boise, and limitless wilderness adventures everywhere else. Alpine tundra is dotted with evergreen forest in the green rolling hills here, topped with snow, and anchored by sparkling valley waterways. The Payette River is great for rafting, while Banks Beach and Beehive Bend are just some of the prime access points on the forest’s 250 lakes and reservoirs (Arrowrock Reservoir has surprisingly primo salmon fishing for central Idaho).
Hikers will find 500 trails, including some that lead to 360-panoramic views at fire lookouts. The ambitious should try 10,000-foot high Trinity Mountain, while more liesurely trekkers will get just as good a view at Silver Creek. As if that’s not all enough to keep you busy, there are also endless mountain biking trails, including a scenic route along Shafer Butte. You’ll have your hands full at this intersection of so many great parks!

A secluded, mountaintop hideaway for adventure & renewal
Perched high above Garden Valley, The Domestead is a one-of-a-kind geodesic dome built into the cliffs of Idaho’s wild forestland. Surrounded by 87 private acres of pine trees, granite outcrops, and native wildlife, this secluded mountaintop hideaway rewards the adventurous couple with an experience of total privacy, incredible views, and stillness that invites reflection, self-discovery and connection.
Accessible only by those willing to journey up a long, steep mountain road, The Domestead is a place that changes with the seasons and offers something different each time you visit. Whether you're winding up the forested road in summer or navigating snow-packed trails in winter, getting here is part of what makes the experience so special. The property borders a 500-acre elk preserve and backs up to miles of untouched BLM and Forest Service land. It’s wild, peaceful, and full of life—everything we hoped it would be when we first walked it.
Inside, the space is warm, quiet, and intentionally built. Radiant heated floors, a mini-split for both heat and AC, reliable Starlink internet, and an off-grid solar and battery system all come together to make the dome comfortable no matter the season. The well water goes through a complex filtration setup we invested in to make sure it's clean, crisp, and safe to drink — something we really care about.
Everything here was chosen with intention. It's not fancy, but it's thoughtful. It's not for everyone, but it might be just right for you.

Welcome to Camp Boise on the Depot Bench!
Our vintage camper, Blue Betty, is tucked into a private corner of our residential property, surrounded by trees.
This is a truly unique, affordable, and memorable stay in the heart of Boise. Just 10 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes from downtown, you’ll be conveniently located to enjoy the best the city has to offer — while still having a peaceful place to rest your head at night.

During the daytime, expect some neighborhood sounds, including the nearby junior high school and the occasional yardwork.
We share our home with 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 kids. While we’re happy to give you space, this is our family home, so you’ll likely see or hear us from time to time. We’re excited to host you and are always happy to help you get the most out of your stay.

The tipi's are so dreamy! Plenty of beds and blankets for everyone, plus the portable heater kept the space warm all night. We didn't want to leave the next morning, but the road was calling.

We loved spending the night in the tipi! We went for our son’s birthday. So clean and cute and the little extras that were in the tipi also!! The flower field near by is beautiful to check out! And even though we didn’t add on any of the extras but it was so cool that they are offered. We definitely want to go back for a date getaway.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Off Grid Mountain Yurt
We loved staying here! It was so beautiful and peaceful and exactly what we were looking for. The yurt had everything we needed to feel comfortable! The AC and internet were great perks for such a remote spot. Wade provided super helpful instructions and was quick to reply when we had a question. We can’t wait to return!

3 nights at Cozy and POSH-est Yurt
The yurt was super clean and had everything you could need! Maybe bring some chairs to sit outside to look at the stars, but otherwise amazing! Wish we could have stayed longer and explored more. Just know everything is a minimum hour drive except Idaho city. Will not regret staying here!

Weekend Trip to Gold Mine Hotel & RV Park
The host were nice, and beyond helpful. It was a very cute room, small but everything you need. There was a free music show on the Saturday night we were there. It wasn’t my type of music but it was nice nonetheless. Overall it was a very pleasant experience that I’d recommend

1 night at Sweet Pepper Ranch's Glamping Tent
Loved my brief stay at the Sweet Pepper Ranch! It was a scorcher of a day but after a quick dip in the pool and shower, the tent was perfect and cozy. When I woke up in the morning, there was fresh coffee and all the fixings waiting for me on the porch - who could ask for more?! Thank you so much for the hospitality and kindness, Alayne!
