The Butterfly Yurt is the perfect glamping spot! It's private, comfortable, and has just enough amenities to make the stay easy yet with the camping feel. Lori and Lucky were great hosts -- nearby if needed but out of sight and earshot. The location is great for access to Quincy, the Feather River canyon, the Lakes region (the hike to the Sierra Buttes lookout is epic!), swimming, hot springs, etc. Or just laze on the yurt's deck with a cup of coffee and read. We hope to go back again soon.

This was our first time camping in a yurt- or any premade structure for that matter! I couldn’t complain about a single thing, there was so much more provided in the yurt than we could have imagined. There is basically a full kitchen set up witch dishes and utensils, extra blankets, fire wood for the fire place, A SHOWER, toilet paper, lighters, even cooking oil! It was such a relaxing get away for my family and I. We had such a blast exploring the property, going to the swimming hole basically 3 minutes away, and just enjoying each others company. Although the structure itself is rather close to the home, it still feels so secluded and like you’re right in the middle of nowhere. If you’re thinking about pulling the trigger on something nice for camping, don’t bother looking anywhere else!

This is a wonderful location! The land is peaceful and secluded. Great for a dog walk through the forest. I really appreciated the wood stove for the cold mornings and a nice hot shower. Highly recommended.

The butterfly valley yurt was great! We went the end of May and it was arm enough during the day to go swim in the swimming hole but cold enough at night to cuddle up! Lori had a fan, oven, some plates and utensils, and tons of blankets. Bed was comfortable enough. Outhouse didn’t stink and easy to use. Shower nozzle not too strong, but there was a shower and warm water!
Lori was very thoughtful in making sure there was potable water at the yurt for use. We came very prepared so didn’t really need much. There’s electric and a deck w a table and chairs to relax on. There’s a trash bin to leave ur trash.
The property is beautiful. There are neighbors around but not close enough to matter. This was the first adventure trip of our “new” dog. We weren’t sure how he would be, but he did great w the seclusion of the property. We will def be back!

The yurt was clean and spacious. It got fairly close to freezing one night and yet we didn't feel the need to fire up the wood stove. The kitchen has the basics, but foodies will want to bring their favorite cooking gear if they plan to throw down in the kitchen. It's a reasonably short walk to the river, which looked pretty ideal for swimming. The carnivorous plants in the nearby botanical garden are worth a visit. Both the hosts were really nice, as were their two dogs.
We'll definitely go back.

The property is comfortable and the owners took care to make sure we had everything we needed.
The bed is comfortable and plenty of warm blankets.
Being novice wood stove operators, it was a challenge to keep the fire going. No one’s fault.
Plenty of towels for the shower. Shower was comfortably warm.
The stove and oven worked well.
The most perfect part was the quiet beautiful woodland and wonderful walking paths. The dogs had a blast and so did we!

Great weekend trip with the girlfriend! It was chilly outside but with the wood stove it was very comfortable in the yurt. I really appreciated the instructions for how to properly use the stove, as someone who isn't super outdoorsy it felt beginner friendly. The appliances worked great as well!
