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.

Elk Moon

I loved staying at janna’s yurt, my girlfriend surprised me with this trip knowing I had a stressful work week prior and the stay was very refreshing. Another plus was not being to far from the city!

Perfect getaway !

The land was beautiful and well kept, along with the Yurt itself. Janna provides almost everything you need in the little space and it’s far enough from the property you feel on your own. My favorite part of the stay was seeing the sky filled with stars and cosmos both on the porch and through the Yurt eye!

I came to Elk Moon with my 13 year old daughter for a night of glamping. The yurt did not disappoint. The property is beautiful and the yurt is absolutely lovely. It was a magical experience. And the composting outhouse was pristine, odorless and spotless. Everything was perfectly thought out for comfort and enjoyment. We had such a nice outing and will definitely return!!! Thank you for such a lovely experience! 10/10

What a wonderful place to stay if you need to get away from the noise! The yurt is very comfortable & had everything we needed. Hearing the beautiful sounds of nature & seeing the night sky so full of stars restored peace to my soul. Thank you for a great stay!

Elk Moon

The view was what sold us on the spot and arriving we realized there was minimal views from the deck/yurt due to trees and vegetation. However, the yurt was cute and comfortable, the stars were beautiful, and it was nice to get away from the city noises. It was very peaceful! The yurt has all the essentials and the small touches shows the care that goes into the place. Janna was communicative and a great host! We look forward to visiting again!
