The Snowden Yurt was built by Tova's uncle Kirk and originally used as a backcountry ski destination in the Sawtooth Mountains near Stanley, Idaho. It is built completely by hand, similar to the traditional Mongolian style, with hand-hewn rafters, hand-made door, and hand-stitched fabric. Kirk's distinctive skylight rounds out the peaceful dwelling. Kitchen facilities include a coffee maker, camp stove, grill, and outdoor sink. The unique, hand crafted bathhouse has a comfortable composting toilet and propane heated shower. An IKEA queen bed with the coziest comforters one could imagine sleeps two, and a pull out twin is available for an extra person. The Snowden Yurt, with a peekabo view of Mt. Hood, is located in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, with world class recreation right out the door.The Snowden Yurt is located six miles from downtown White Salmon, WA, near fabulous mountain biking, kayaking, parasailing - the gorge has it all! Our yurt is a family heirloom, with a generous deck, camp kitchen, and rustic bathhouse. The town of Hood River is fifteen minutes away, but also enjoy the woodlands right out the front door.

Yurt In The Fir Trees

When we accidentally pulled into Richard’s driveway, not the Yurt’s, long past sunset, he pointed us in the right direction with a smile. We loved our short stay in the Yurt. It is the perfect cozy place to stay! Clean, comfortable, and charming.

Yurt In The Fir Trees

Fun location—pretty close to White Salmon but you’re still out in the country, nice yurt with comfortable accommodations, cute and user-friendly outhouse situation, lots of fun animal noises at night but nothing earplugs couldn’t handle (which are stocked in a cabinet in the yurt).

Convenient Glamping for Exploring

This was a perfect, cozy location while we explored the White Salmon, Hood River, Gifford Pinchot area! The yurt was warm with the heater on a night that got down to 50 and I imagine it would be warm at even colder temps - plus, the bedding is fluffy and warm. Well-equipped with cooking supplies and everything was clean - or a 5ish min drive to downtown restaurants. The host was super friendly and helpful. The stars are beautiful at night! Make sure to download directions before going, as I had no cell service with Verizon. There are outlets and electricity. There are so many fun things to do nearby!

Yurt In The Fir Trees

Great place, fantastic owners!

A VERY nice yurt with everything one may need to have for a comfortable stay: fan for hotter nights, heater for cooler (I believe, the yurt could be also used in winter when there is plenty of snow around). There is a comping kitchen stove and plenty of dishes and pots to use (don't need to bring your own). Great people own it and are available to address any problems one might have. Although they live in house that is on the same property, the yurt remains very private for your use. I loved my and my 12-year old twin girls stay there.

Super clean, great view! This yurt is very functional, very close to downtown White Salmon and the bridge to Hood River.
