Creature comforts

Enjoy the comforts of home in nature — including real toilets, showers, and kitchen.

Mostly private three acres of open flat field. Cedar and pine trees, some garden, flowerbeds. Bats at dusk. Lots of stars at night. Lots of birds during summer. It's between Port Gamble Heritage Park and the Hood Canal bridge, just off of Highway 3.This yurt is located on a unique somewhat secluded three acre parcel of land, shared by charming handcrafted tiny houses and surrounded by pine trees. The yurt itself is an authentic handmade all organic "groovy" Mongolian yurt, 20 feet in diameter outfitted with a wood stove and a comfortable queen size bed with a comfortable mattress. The high ceiling, natural materials, and round floor plan makes staying here feel a little magical. During the day, pull the canvas top open and enjoy the skylight and open air. Wildlife includes on the daily many types of rare and common birds, squirrels, rabbits, bats, owls, and the occasional deer. Excellent stargazing on a clear night! With a recent Bobcat sighting. You will have access to a primitive hot outdoor shower, a shared fully plumbed "outhouse", an outdoor fire pit with chairs, and a gas grill in a covered outdoor DIY kitchen with running water. Note about shared amenities: The shower is a short walk down a hill and attached to another building. The outhouse bathroom , " toilet and sink" is several yards away from the yurt and while being fully functional, is also not completely finished on the outside. There is also spots to get out of the weather. The outdoor kitchen is also in various stages of development. Use at your own risk. There are several cast iron skillets, some random plates, a kettle for boiling water, running water hooked up to a vintage sink. Bring your own drinking water, and things to throw in the refrigerator. There is most everything you might need. Up to six guests can stay in this yurt (It's quite spacious). In addition to the queen bed there is a spare mattress (beneath the bed) a cot, and a sleeping bag. A few minutes drive away are gorgeous rocky beaches on the hood canal, Port gamble historical district with restaurants and shopping, hiking, biking, and kayaking at Port Gamble Heritage park, scenic drives (hood canal floating bridge for example). Port Gamble Heritage Park is actually accessible by 10 min. walk or bike. A bit further out you can visit the amazing Chimucum farmer's market (20 minutes north), or check out the stunning Port Townsend (35 minutes northwest). This spot is also on the way to the Olympic National Park, and ocean beaches.

Hood Canal " Groovy" Yurt

We loved this place. Everything we needed was there. It was clean and easy to find. Sarah was communicative. The yurt and kitchen area are amazing. My family played games and relaxed. All together lovely.

🐰🐰 Multiple bunnies sightings!

The space was a quiet and the outdoor kitchen was very convenient to cook and wash with, it can fit 3 people comfortably (one person washing at the sink while another cooks at the stove, and a the third person in the back chopping food). The yurt is spacious enough to fit 6 adults, the bunk cots can separate and are comfortable to sleep in. The windowed wooden door is nice but it doesn't have a net to keep mosquitos out.

Great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The yurt is spacious and there is a large area for use outside. They have just about anything you might need available for you to use.

More tramping than glamping

Pros: * The location was good; not far from Poulsbo and Port Townsend. * Outdoor flushable bathroom that was relatively clean * Rabbits everywhere Cons: * The host did the bare minimum at check in, telling us that he was not there / to let ourselves in, and there was a bear in the area. There weren't obvious check in instructions anywhere - e.g. what to do about water? * The yurt was cleanish, but there was garbage from previous guests there, e.g. some antibiotic cream - which was annoying with small children. The yurt had a door but no lock, and the door didn't close all that well. * The bedding on the bed seemed ok, but the blankets / sleeping bags that were available for the cots were all smelly. * The fridge had other peoples food in it and smelled bad * The above were concerning enough that we noped out early and got a hotel in Port Townsend.

Great weekend. This is a wonderful location to stay. Yurt is huge and easily slept our family of five. The out door kitchen is perfect to prep and cook. Best of all was a real toilet for the family. Highly recommend this spot. Thanks Curt. Nice work on the property.

Easy beginner-level camping fun!

Charming and delightful accommodations, very generously and carefully stocked for the casual getaway for the weekend. My kids had the time of their lives and I got to introduce them to camping in a very gentle and easy way - now they’re demanding more! This place was a fantastic start for kids who have never been camping or for grownups who ain’t into roughing it. Loved loved loved this yurt!
