Yurt Camping under Sis-Q Stars

Tom and Jan were so friendly and welcoming. We had a great stay in the yurt, really enjoyed the landscape (especially nearby river swimming holes), the brief flurry of bats at twilight, and an immense night sky.

I loved visiting Tom and Jan's farm! The Klamath National Forest is such a hidden gem. The mountains surrounding the property are beautiful and so peaceful.

The property itself has everything you need, Just a short walk away from the yurt and campsites, there is a full bathroom, showers, and large tub sinks.

The yurt is a great DIY project thanks to their son - it's unique style definitely isn't store bought and more comfortable than other yurts I've been in. It rained the night I visited and the yurt stayed dry and warm throughout the night. There is also a screen so you can leave the thicker wall layer open on a warmer night. You get a comfy bed and clean sheets, but take extra blankets and pillows.

There is also a bench and extra chairs for seating. Cook on the stone table rather than the plastic table to help everything last longer. On a clear night, definitely plan for a campfire.

The real beauty of the farm is the family history. You can feel how much love has been poured into the property over the years. From the various farm animals (rescued horses, farm pups, a roaming cat, chickens), to the garden, lake, and abandoned bus. Ask Jan for some stories - she has plenty! Jan and Tom were so welcoming, sharing their stories and showing me around the farm.

To-Do
- Get burgers at Five Marys in downtown Fort Jones
- go Hiking! Ask Tom & Jan, or stop at the ranger's station nearby.
- Stargazing! It's pitch black at night

Super relaxing atmosphere. Lots of wildlife around the property. We loved the yurt. The weather was perfect while we were there. Tom and Jan were great to talk to.

Beautiful experience, beautiful place, beautiful people. A human warmth that is not found everywhere. We had an excellent time. Thank you sincerely.

Tom and Jan are beautiful people; extremely gracious and friendly. Their dogs and cats are just as friendly and amazing. There is very little light pollution there thanks in part to Jan's advocacy. Got to see the space station and a sky packed full of stars. I loved walking their property to the river and duck pond. So many hummingbirds, grouse (I think), woodpeckers, blackbirds, ducks, goldfinch, doves, and owls. I'll be back!

What a cool spot! Tom and Jan were awesome - they showed us a cool swimming hole, took us canoeing, and brought us over to watch the bats fly out at night. Would def stay again :)

Such a wonderful experience to stay at Sis-Q-Ranch. Hosts Tom and Jan are wonderfully welcoming and helpful, and the yurt was clean and comfy. The wi-fi was good. Great bathroom facilities.

Jan and Tom are the best hosts. We spent a night in the yurt on our trip home from Oregon and could not have picked a better place. About 35 mins off I-5, past Fort Jones. They sent us to the best swimming spots and made us feel at home on their property. Our kids fed the horses and fell in love with the dogs. This area is beautiful and on the edge of Klamath National Forest. Food in nearby Ft. Jones was great and convenient. Clean bathrooms, showers, and sinks. The highlight was Tom and Jan, though. They are wonderful people, they know the area very well, and want to share their love of nature with their guests.

Jan & Tom are kind & friendly hosts. They loaned us a camp stove & bug spray & invited us out to watch the bats leave the barn at dusk. Highly recommend.
