Our land is 24 acres set against Cinderella Mountain, facing the Clark Fork River. There are two houses and a yurt on the property. The yurt is available for rent on this site to stay the night in, 8 guests maximum. **For gatherings and up to 20-person events, please visit our website, wildlightmontana.com. Address: The maps program on HipCamp is outdated and our address, which was created during the Covid lockdown, does not show up here. If you use Google Maps you can search "Wildlight Montana" to find us or please direct message me for the address. The yurt is a beautiful open space utilized weekly for local yoga classes and private events. The space is therefore not set up with bedding; guests should bring their own camping pads, cots, sleeping bags, etc. A pro to staying here is that the space comes stocked with yoga props for stretching in the evening while you arrive, sitting and gathering, or maybe doing a private yoga class before you leave in the morning. Feel free to message us and book a private sound therapy, Reiki or yoga session while you are at the property! There is nice view of the valley surrounding, and a trail leading up into the woods behind the yurt to walk on. Wild turkeys, deer, elk and eagles right outside your door. There is a woodstove inside for cooler nights that we can instruct folks who feel comfortable to use, and a small firepit out front. Facilities: Outside, in front of the yurt, there is a back-to-back outhouse and hand washing station available for guests, stocked with toilet paper, paper towels and hand soap. An insulated out-building sits just to the west of the yurt entrance, right where the dirt driveway turns toward the yurt itself when you drive up. The out-building is equipped as a kitchenette, and includes a refrigerator, electric kettle and coffee maker. Please note: there is no running water inside this building, however we will have a 5 gallon jug of well water set up in a water dispenser for you to access there. We ask guests to clean up after themselves in these spaces. The handwashing area is set up for rinsing off dishes while you're here as well. We will make sure to provide a dish tub, cleaning supplies, enough dishes, utensils and mugs for up to 8 people (or compostable picnicware if necessary at the time of rental). Note about the train: There are train tracks that run along the river in front of our property. The tracks are dropped down low enough that you can just see the top of the train, with trees also blocking the sound. The train will only sound its horn here if there are animals on the tracks, a fairly rare occurrence after four years living here. All in all, it isn't bothersome feature to most who stay, and we've had positive feedback from renters. It still feels fair to note.Our space is a 35-ft diameter yurt, which gives you 962 square feet of space inside to spread out. There are no furnishings inside the yurt other than yoga bolsters, blocks and a couple of mats. The structure stands at the edge of a field, with its own parking area, pit toilet outhouses and handwashing station. There is a picnic table nearby for guests to use. We are 1.3 miles east of the Petty Creek Fishing Access, where guests can fish or swim in summer. For those who enjoy cold plunging, we can direct you toward a good hole on Petty Creek itself before it opens up into the river. There are sandy beaches not far from us as well. Nearby restaurants include the River's Edge as well as Sportsman's Tavern which will be serving burgers as of Summer 2024. We are just 30 minutes west of Missoula, which has many fun attractions, events and dining spots to explore.

An Amazing Spot!

We had an absolute blast at the Yurt! Jessica goes the extra step to make sure guests have everything they need and the facilities are very well maintained. We woke up to a beautiful view each morning and it was so peaceful.

I loved staying at Jessica’s yurt! The scenery is absolutely stunning, and the space is as well. It was a very comfortable and cozy environment to stay in. Jessica and her family are extremely welcoming and accommodating. If you get the chance I would highly recommend booking a yoga class with Jessica, it was incredibly rejuvenating. The availability of the yoga mats and props were the cherry on top, as we were able to stretch in the morning when we woke up. The bathrooms were comfortable and clean, and the kitchenette area/dishwashing area was very useful! It had all the necessities for a great trip! This is an amazing space, I hope to be back soon!!
