This magical and private Yurt in the woods are just 2 miles from Nevada City Come experience the Beauty of the Sierra Foothills and the Yuba River in our Yurts tucked into the forest just 2 miles from downtown Nevada City. With a natural creek right outside your door and hiking trails right off the deck, this serene and beautiful yurt retreat awaits you. Nevada City is renowned for its excellent food, shopping, nightlife and farmer’s market. A leisurely walk into town takes 45 mins, bike in 15 or drive in 5. Grass Valley is 10 minutes away as well and has more food, shopping, and entertainment for you. Access to the Yuba River is as close as 20 mins to Edwards Crossing and 20 mins to Hoyts Crossing on Highway 49. We absolutely recommend trying to stay for two or more nights so that you can get accustomed to the space, learn the property, settle in, and relax. Each yurt has a wood-fired stove inside with plenty of wood stacked to keep you warm. Each yurt has a small functional kitchen with a hot plate, toaster oven, micro sink, and fridge. Each yurt has a kitchen that is fully equipped with a hot plate, toaster oven, microwave, refrigerator, cutlery, pots and pans, grill, etc. Each yurt has a Queen bed with a heating blanket to help keep you cozy throughout the night. Each yurt has its own dedicated wood-fired hot tub. It requires a fire to be lit and maintained to keep it hot. Things you might like to bring: headlamps, robe, flip flops, slippers, hiking shoes. Water: we are on a well and provide fresh drinking water in a container for you. It’s fine to drink, cook, and bathe with the water from the tap but it can have a minerally quality to it. We test the well annually. We provide filtered water but if it runs out, the water out of the tap is safe and delicious. The hot tub: it’s wood fired. This means you have to heat it with a fire to get it hot. This can take many hours to get to the right temperature. It’s a good idea to start a fire right when you get there! This tub may have leaves in it (they fall from above) and cloudy water. The water should NOT smell, the cloudiness is a part of the cedar tubs charm- ash from the fire and particulate from the cedar mix together. We treat it between guests with natural products that maintain the wood (you can’t use chlorine in these tubs). We clean it regularly. Shower before using it to wash off any oils and sweat in your body please! The outdoor shower is lovely :) Fireplace: We will leave you a bundle of wood that comes with the rental. If you need more wood you can purchase it from us or from the grocery store. We have lots of wood at the yurt and we ask you to pay $10 per bundle if you use more then we leave you inside. This is on the honor system- It takes a lot of time and resources to keep wood stocked for the property. If you don’t know how to start a fire you may want to bring an instant log with you. Please leave the lighter behind for the next guest. Sleep: we have a heating blanket for cold nights, It’s about 10 degrees cooler on our land than in town. This is a real treat during our hot summers. There will be a fan for you as well during the warm season. We live in the woods, there are bugs (not many mosquitos thankfully) and wild animals such as bears, coyotes, skunks, raccoons, foxes, and mountain lions- we’ve seen them on/or near the property. This is part of the country charm and should be expected. Land acknowledgment: We acknowledge that our property is located on unceeded land. It is the traditional homeland of the Nisenan tribe. The Nisenan tribe is alive and active and continues to fight for federal recognition and compensation for land loss. We donate 10% of AIRBB proceeds between CHIRP which promotes the history and culture of the Nisenan tribe. https://chirpca .org/ And the Bear Yuba Land Trust which helps protect the fragile Yuba watershed. https:// www.bylt .org/is Thank you

Your private Yurt in the woods

Ok for a night

It's a nice space that is well landscaped. It is important tp know that the hot tub takes 6 hours to heat up. Also important to know is that wood is $3 per log and you are only allocated 3 logs per night - so if you want a fire to keep the yurt warm and a hot tub bring $. The composting toilet is tricky and the bathhouse isn't heated so that cast iron tub you plan to take a soak in won't ever be warm. The place was probably pretty spectacular when launched bit has since become a bit run down with chipped dishware, dirty rugs and grimy surfaces. The outdoor shower is divine.

Magical Yurt in the woods

Peaceful getaway

It was such a cozy spot. We loved sitting by the campfire and listening to the nearby stream while we read our books. It was the perfect getaway for our two-year anniversary, and we are considering making it a tradition. Madi was very kind in picking up a bag of charcoal at the store since it was out when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies and seasonings making it so we did not have to make any additional trips to the store. Thanks for having us!

Magical stay

What a wonderful private oasis. The area is beautiful and close enough to town., but you won’t want to leave. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The wood fire hot tub was hit, the kitchen had everything we needed for quick meals. Look forward to coming back.

Second of many trips here!

Our second stay here! We were there in December previously. It was fun to experience the site in the summer. Magically the yurt stayed cool during 100 degree days with just some fans and actually required shutting the windows at night because it got pretty cool under the tree canopy. The fire powered hot tube is incredible. Wood available for purchase so you don’t even need to bring any! The hosts were super responsive to our needs in a timely manner. We will be back!
