Cannot recommend enough, a really magical place. The yurt was kept warm with the wood burning stove and the sauna was an absolute treat. We loved talking to all the folks at the farm, can't wait to go back!

Had a great time staying at the Yurt! The compostimg toilets were extra clean. The land and location was beautiful. We did the farm tour and got to see how they sustain themselves, which was awesome to see. Brought 2 toddlers who had fun running on the land and eating blueberries.

Mark and Jennifer were lovely hosts to have. The camp spot is absolutely gorgeous and the farm animals were a delight to visit. I highly recommend camping here especially if you want a nice view of the stars at night.

Den made spending my 43rd here pretty smooth and carefree. The wood burning sauna, which he built (!!!!!), was amazing and it was just nice being natural and free ^_^ he also built the yurt, which was cool. Loved the outdoor kitchen, too. Tons of berries to eat everywhere. Will try to visit again!

Was a nice place to stay after exploring the Skamokawa Vista Park. If you come here I would definitely take the time to go to the state park. Was peaceful at the Yurt. Toilet was nice and clean and had a nice space to wash hands. No complaints.

Super cute yurt! I love the environment. It was serene and beautiful. My 9 year old and I really enjoyed it. He had a blast playing the thongophone on the wall. I have no idea how he knew how to play it. But it was definitely a very peaceful rendition of Mary had a little lamb. Definitely bring your own bedding. It gets chilly at night without the stove on. The futons aren’t the most comfy. But definitely a great experience full of adventure!

A peaceful spot to stay for one night. My 8 year old loved walking around to see the animals. The provided spring water was excellent. No mosquitoes! Thanks to the hosts for offering this space.

Absolutely incredible spot. The pictures don’t do it justice but it’s surrounded by gorgeous Mountain views and rolling hills. Both Den and Max are super great guys and very helpful. The land feels peaceful and magical, we really didn’t want to leave. My partner and I can’t wait to come back!!

We stayed 2 nights, one in the yurt which was magical and whimsical and everything a girls trip or romantic getaway needs, Including a very nicely kept out house attached to the yurt. The yurts was furnished with floor pads of different thickness , with lots of pillows, throw blankets and a wood stove too.
The second night we used the bell tents. Some had floor pads, some did not. The red one was smaller, but had its own fire pit. The blue one was smaller as well, but was closer to on-site amenities on both sides.
A quick walk down the road and over a small bridge, Den had tge most enchanting outdoor kitchen. Pictures provided. It felt like several large families could all eat in the same space without being to evasive. The kitchen had almost all the amenities one could need and then some.
Directly around the corner from the outdoor kitchen was a wooded area with hammocks and lights which felt intimate and cozy. Not too far from that, was an old school sauna and a really well made but rustic outdoor shower.
Over all, Den's farm was rustic and charming and highly recommend a stay here.
Thankyou, Den!

Mark and Jennifer were very welcoming and super helpful! The camping spot is very cute grassy area right next to the pond and they left out useful accommodations such as firewood for sale, a shovel for the fire pit, and two big jugs of springwater.

Our stay at Mark’s and Jennifer’s place was magical and unique! Hosts welcomed us warmly and showed us around. Campsite was well prepared, we couldn’t wish for more. Even though the place was located near the pond, there were no mosquitoes. We don’t bother farm smell but for those who care - it was not perceptible. Our kids were allowed to see the animals and even help a little bit! Jennifer’s hospitality really enchanted us ❤️

I had a wonderful experience at Elkenmist! I
My partner and I planned a last minute getaway to relax from the hustle and bustle of city life. Spending the weekend in a lovely yurt surrounded by grass and trees was everything we needed. Den was a friendly and accommodating host, we felt very welcomed in the space! The yurt is super spacious and the woodfire stove was a great addition to add to the cozy atmosphere - it saved us when the sun went down. The yurt had many outdoor chairs, extra sleeping mats, a broom and floor cleaner, and it DOES have an outlet for charging things. I will say I did see some droppings in the yurt, but it is a farm as well so that could be expected, just be mindful about keeping food and such off the floor and bringing your own bedding. There are string lights inside as well. I could see it being really fun with a group! The bathroom, right behind the yurt, was so clean, and the wood composting toilets were an interesting concept that worked surprisingly well to keep it smelling decent. The kitchen was well equipped, had a sink with filtered water and useful supplies! Wish I would’ve had time for the farm tour because the animals looked sooo cute! I would highly recommend staying here :)

My family of four (including a six year old) had a good time. There are sheep in a meadow and we enjoyed being stared at placidly by them. The composting toilet was delightfully clean and tidy. Though it was a cold and rainy night, the fireplace kept us warm and the yurt stayed dry. The yurt was very spacious. The things on the inside were very cool: a zodiac poster and chimes with a mallet. A very peaceful spot. And new gravel made the driveway easy to back out of! Thanks!
