Heart Yurt with Cedar Hot Tub

Yurt · Sleeps 2
🤍 HEART — Come Home to Yourself at Wildfern Grove Welcome to Wildfern Grove, an intentional community and forest sanctuary nestled on 40 acres of Pacific Northwest beauty. Heart is the yurt guests return to. There is a quality to this space that guests try to describe in their reviews and never quite capture: something about the warm wood bed frame, the sheer white draping on either side of the bed, the macrame art on the walls, the soft light through the canvas. It feels like the most beloved room in a very beautiful home. It feels, somehow, like yours. Heart is the most naturally light-filled yurt on the property — the canvas catches the changing quality of Pacific Northwest light throughout the day, and the space shifts from bright and spacious in the morning to warm and intimate by candlelight at night. Three minutes from the community spaces, the cedar hot tub, and the showers. Close enough to feel connected to the life of the land. Far enough to feel like your own. ✨ THE YURT | HEART ✨ Inside you'll find: ✓ Comfortable Queen Size Bed with Beautiful Warm Wood Frame ✓ Cozy Comforter, Decorative Pillows & Throw Blanket ✓ Sheer White Draping Flanking the Bed ✓ Substantial Macrame Wall Art ✓ Green Buddha Flags Above the Bed ✓ Grey Faux Fur Rugs ✓ Wooden Bench at Foot of Bed ✓ Pullout Twin Sleeper Sofa (sleeps 3 total, third requires extra fee) ✓ Writing Desk ✓ Small Wooden Chest · Storage Cubby ✓ Table with Matching Stools ✓ Fairy Lights ✓ Rechargeable Lanterns (no electricity — off-grid) ✓ Mr. Heater 9,000 BTU Propane Heater — very effective in winter ✓ Hand-Painted Artisan Door & Interior Crown (Mongolian-style, one of a kind) ✓ Fire Pit · Adirondack Chairs ✓ 1 Parking Spot Guests say they sleep better than they have in years. Something about the canvas walls, the warmth of the heater, frogs cricketing and the sound of rain on the roof creates conditions for deep, restorative rest. 🌲 CEDAR HOT TUB Melt into our luxurious 7' cedar hot tub located on the deck of the Geodesic Dome Home — 3 minute walk from Heart. Soak beneath the trees while listening to the forest. ✓ Forest Views ✓ Clothing Optional (applies only to those in or near the tub) ✓ Towels Provided in Community Space ✓ Please Rinse Off Before Entering ✓ Chlorinated ✓ Open 24/7 ✓ Quiet Hou

⭐ CELESTIAL — Dwell Among the Stars at Wildfern Grove Welcome to Wildfern Grove, an intentional community and forest sanctuary nestled on 40 acres of Pacific Northwest beauty. Celestial is where you come when you need to remember how small your worries are, and how vast you truly are. Duck through the hand-crafted 4-foot hobbit door and look up. Golden fairy lights trace the rafters like a constellation map, a white star hangs from the crown of the dome, and the painted interior glows with warmth. This is what it feels like to sleep inside a lantern. Celestial is the only yurt on the property with electricity, bringing the charm of the hobbit door and the hand-painted Mongolian interior together with the convenience of outlets and warm lighting. All the magic. No sacrifice. Step outside and the territorial views to the northwest horizon open before you, the town of South Prairie visible through and above the trees, the sky impossibly wide. By night, genuine darkness and stars. ✨ THE YURT | CELESTIAL ✨ The closest yurt to the outdoor showers — 30 feet away — and just steps from the community spaces, hot tub, and indoor bathroom. Celestial offers everything the forest has to give with the ease of having it all nearby. Inside you'll find: ✓ Comfortable Queen Size Bed with Metal Frame & Wood Accents ✓ Cozy Comforter, Pillows & Celestial-Themed Throw Blanket ✓ Faux "Bearskin" Rugs ✓ Small Loveseat ✓ Table & Chairs ✓ Storage Cubbies ✓ Golden Fairy Lights Along the Rafters ✓ White Star Hanging from the Crown ✓ Wall Art & Mirror ✓ Electricity: Outlets & Warm Lighting ✓ Mr. Heater 9,000 BTU Propane Heater — very effective in winter ✓ Hand-Painted Artisan Door, Interior Crown & Interior French Doors (Mongolian-style) ✓ Fire Pit with Seating ✓ 1 Parking Spot Guests consistently say they sleep better here than anywhere. Something about the canvas walls, the warm light, and the forest sounds creates conditions for the deepest rest. 🌿 ABOUT THE HOBBIT DOOR & PAINTED INTERIOR Two layers of magic await you at the entrance to Celestial: the 4-foot hobbit door that asks you to bow before entering, and once inside, a pair of hand-painted interior French doors that can be opened wide to flood the space with light or closed for intimacy. The door and interior crown are p

🌿 GAIA — Return to the Living World at Wildfern Grove Welcome to Wildfern Grove, an intentional community and forest sanctuary nestled on 40 acres of Pacific Northwest beauty. Gaia is where the land speaks loudest. The furthest yurt from the main house, Gaia sits in its own quiet corner of the forest, the choice for guests who want to feel genuinely, completely away. Here, the only sounds are the ones the land makes: wind through the cedars, birdsong at dawn, rain on the canvas at night. The door alone is worth the journey. Hand-painted in the traditional Mongolian style — orange, teal, and gold — it is the most beautiful door on the property. Step through it and you step into a space that honors the plants, animals, and living systems you share this land with. A tree of life tapestry hangs above the bed. A colorful kilim rug in teal and salmon anchors the floor. A turquoise wind chime sings from the crown of the dome. Outside, a paver patio and fire pit await. And beyond the fire, through the trees, territorial views open to the northwest horizon and the distant town of South Prairie. ✨ THE YURT | GAIA ✨ Inside you'll find: ✓ Comfortable Queen Size Bed with Metal Frame & Wood Accents ✓ Cozy Comforter, Pillows & Decorative Blanket ✓ Pullout Twin Sleeper Sofa (sleeps 3 total, third person requires extra fee) ✓ Colorful Kilim-Style Rug ✓ Wicker Baskets · Bistro Table & Stools ✓ Tree of Life Tapestry ✓ Turquoise Wind Chime at Crown ✓ Rechargeable Lanterns & Fairy Lights (no electricity — off-grid) ✓ Mr. Heater 9,000 BTU Propane Heater: very effective in winter ✓ Hand-Painted Artisan Door & Interior Crown (Mongolian-style, one of a kind) ✓ Fire Pit · Paver Patio · Adirondack Chairs ✓ 1 Parking Spot No electricity — a feature, not a limitation. Charge your devices in the community space and let the lantern light do the rest. 🌿 ABOUT THE SECLUSION Gaia is a 5-minute walk from the community spaces, indoor bathroom, outdoor showers, and hot tub. Composting toilets are 100 feet away for the middle of the night. That 5-minute walk through the forest is, for most guests, one of the favorite parts of staying here, especially after dark with a lantern. 🌲 CEDAR HOT TUB Melt into our luxurious 7' cedar hot tub located on the deck of the Geodesic Dome Home — 5 min

Soul Yurt with Cedar Hot Tub

Yurt · Sleeps 2
🌌 SOUL — The Paradox of the Small Door at Wildfern Grove Welcome to Wildfern Grove, an intentional community and forest sanctuary nestled on 40 acres of Pacific Northwest beauty. Soul contains multitudes. Duck through the 4-foot hand-painted hobbit door — and find yourself inside the largest yurt on the property. The contrast is the point. Outside, a small and humble threshold. Inside, 21 feet of cathedral space, light pouring through the crown and windows, forest tapestries on the walls, and a sense of expansion that guests consistently describe as the most surprising and beautiful moment of their entire stay. Soul is the fourth yurt from the community spaces — a 4-minute walk through the forest that becomes, for most guests, one of their favorite rituals. At night, with a lantern in hand, that walk is something close to ceremony. This is the yurt for a significant occasion. A milestone birthday. An anniversary. A personal retreat when you need room, literal and metaphysical, to expand. ✨ THE YURT | SOUL ✨ Inside you'll find: ✓ Comfortable Queen Size Bed with Warm Wood Frame ✓ Colorful Mandala Bedspread & Pillows ✓ Faux Fur Rugs ✓ Pullout Twin Sleeper Sofa (sleeps 3 total, third person is extra fee) ✓ Forest & Nature Tapestries on the Walls ✓ Light Crown (skylight at the top of the dome, natural light floods in) ✓ Fairy Lights Along the Rafters ✓ Rechargeable Lanterns (no electricity, off-grid) ✓ Mr. Heater 9,000 BTU Propane Heater, very effective in winter ✓ Hand-Painted Artisan Hobbit Door & Interior Crown (Mongolian-style, one of a kind) ✓ Bistro Table & Stools ✓ Fire Pit · Adirondack Chairs ✓ 1 Parking Spot ✓ Territorial NW Horizon Views from Fire Pit Area The open center of Soul, cleared of furniture, rugs overlapping, becomes your personal movement space, meditation floor, or ceremony ground. We encourage you to use it. 🌿 ABOUT THE HOBBIT DOOR At 4 feet tall, the hand-painted door to Soul is its own small universe — orange, teal, and gold Mongolian artisan work, intricate and alive. The moment of stepping through it into the vast cathedral interior is one guests talk about long after they've left. 🌲 CEDAR HOT TUB Melt into our luxurious 7' cedar hot tub located on the deck of the Geodesic Dome Home — 4 minute walk from Soul.

🌈 PRISM — A Rainbow Gateway at Wildfern Grove Welcome to Wildfern Grove, an intentional community and forest sanctuary nestled on 40 acres of Pacific Northwest beauty. Prism is an invitation to see yourself in full color. Duck through the hand-crafted 4-foot hobbit door, an entrance that asks you to bow before entering, and step into a world of rainbows, chakras, and the full spectrum of what it means to be alive. This 16-foot circular yurt honors the prismatic nature of light and the infinite possibilities available to you when you choose to slow down and look inward. Off-grid and intentionally so. No electricity means no screen temptation, just lantern light, fairy lights strung through the rafters, and the sound of the forest breathing around you. A digital detox that doesn't feel like deprivation. Whether you're seeking a creative reset, a solo retreat, or a forest escape with someone you love, Prism offers something rare: the chance to simply be, held by a circular space that has no corners and no rush. ✨ THE YURT | PRISM ✨ Step through the hobbit door and feel the ordinary world fall away. The interior of this 16-foot Mongolian-style yurt glows with the warmth of fairy lights and the deep beauty of its hand-painted crown and door — every painted detail the work of skilled artisans. Inside you'll find: ✓ Comfortable Queen Size Bed with Low Profile Frame ✓ Cozy Comforter, Pillows & Colorful Throw Blanket ✓ Faux Fur Rug ✓ Papasan Chair — the perfect reading nest ✓ Table & Chairs ✓ Nightstands ✓ Rechargeable Lanterns & Fairy Lights (no electricity — off-grid magic) ✓ Mr. Heater 9,000 BTU Propane Heater — very effective in winter ✓ Hand-Painted Artisan Door & Crown (Mongolian-style, one of a kind) ✓ Fire Pit with Seating ✓ 1 Parking Spot Prism has no electricity — this is part of the experience. Charge your devices in the community space before settling in for the night. 🌿 ABOUT THE HOBBIT DOOR At 4 feet tall, the door to Prism asks something of you before you enter: a bow, a pause, a moment of arrival. Guests consistently describe the feeling of crossing this threshold as one of the most memorable moments of their stay. The door is hand-painted in the traditional Mongolian style — orange, teal, and gold — and opens to a view of the forest. There i
