Welcome to the North Stilly River Yurt — your off-grid, magical dreamland in the forest on a winding river! 🌲🌊
Come experience a peaceful, secluded getaway tucked into the forest above the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River. This unique yurt sits on 5 private acres and offers an adventurous yet comfortable place to relax, explore, and reconnect with nature.
✨ What to Expect
You’ll park at a hilltop above the yurt and follow clearly marked stairs and a winding trail downhill (about 0.8 miles total) to reach your yurt and riverfront areas — a great way to stretch your legs and start your outdoor adventure!
Once you arrive, enjoy:
A 20' yurt with a comfy queen bed and space for additional sleeping gear.
A large welcoming
rock patio with fire ring, picnic tables, and BBQ.
Plenty of room to pitch tents down near the river or in the fern grove.
A sand bar and shallow areas perfect for exploring, playing, or cooling off in summer.
You can then creep along the trail further and come upon a nice flat, comfy greenery area to pitch multitudes of tents, have a swing in the hammocks, or play some yard games.
⚠️ Off-Grid Info
The yurt is fully off-grid — bring your own drinking water, food, and supplies.
There is no heat source inside the yurt, so plan accordingly for cooler seasons.
An outhouse is located on site.
It’s a perfect spot for groups, families, and anyone who loves the rhythm of the river, the rustle of the forest, and a true outdoor retreat.
And yet the magic does not end-- emerge further down the hill and you will come upon the glorious North Fork of the Stillaguamish River.
It is mighty during the winter months, but flows to a slow and shallow trickle during the summer making it a wonderful place for romping of children and pets alike.
There is also some swim holes if you need to truly cool your skin down.
The flowing Stilly has blessed us with a very large sand bar on our side of the river which has an abundance of flat, soft sand to pitch more tents on, and also build castles in for the littles.
Lastly, don't forget to catch the fantastic view of White Horse Mountain from the two seats that overlook the river!
Catch it during the day or during the night with the moon in front of the mountain.
You will never forget it!

Peaceful yurt overlooking fields, woods, and garden not far from downtown Vashon. There is a comfy king size bed, an outdoor compost toilet, and picnic table. Sounds of the island include neighbor's goats, roosters, and an occasional coyote. You will also likely see deer roaming the property. You are welcome to explore the garden and orchard.
The yurt doesn't have heat, water, or electricity. It's like a big tent.
The host's home is nearby (only about 60' away) so this is not a remote location. The property is approx. 3 miles South of downtown Vashon and 2 miles North of Burton.

We spent a night at Jamie’s place and had a wonderful experience. Everything matched the description on Hipcamp, and the instructions provided were clear, detailed, and easy to follow. The site was peaceful, well-maintained, and exactly what we were hoping for. We’d absolutely love to return!

Our stay at the yurt was wonderful! Cozy, welcoming, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was right inside, and the bathroom was very close by. Surrounded by beautiful nature and stunning scenery, it was the perfect peaceful getaway - a true home away from home.

We loved the peace and quiet during the day. At night you can hear the owls, coyotes and hawks. Fabulous.
Megan’s property and the yurt feel comfortable. She has done a great job of making it groovy.

This amazing year it was way more than me, and my girlfriend can ever bargain her ass for with rope swings and a close by a river and very, very secluded. We felt like we were camping in the middle of nowhere while being close to our car.

Fun evening on a horse farm. The yurt was small and cozy - just enough space for the queen air mattress and two small single pads. We enjoyed watching the horses, loved the mountain view at sunset, and had a fun campfire.
A few things to help future travelers. It's a big property, so I was glad I messaged the host beforehand to ask directions to the yurt. We couldn't find the restroom, so I had to knock on the door at the house to get directions (it's in the center entrance of the horse barn). We also weren't sure where to get water and never found the petting farm area with small animals. It would be helpful if the host made a map of the property to show guests where things are.

The yurt is awesome… well kept, lovely bed and futon plus two tables one for eating or playing cards. There is a cool shower and toilet setup. The toilet is compostable. The only downside is no sink to wash hands, but hand sanitizer provided. Owner is lovely and very welcoming.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Juliane's ranch! The yurt was clean and had comfortable mattresses waiting for us. The place is especially magical if you have little ones. My 5 year old was in heaven being surrounded by horses and visiting the petting zoo. Right across from the driveway is a short path to take a dip in the river. We did get a lot of bug bites even with bug spray, but that's just how it goes sometimes. We also scheduled a horseback & pony ride for the morning after which was absolutely wonderful. The view of Mt. Si from camp is Hosts were warm and friendly, and my daughter won't stop asking when we can go back. Thank you for having us!

Megan’s property and Yurt is absolutely STUNNING. Not o my did it feel clean but it felt like a space that someone has but a lot of time, effort, and love into. Megan herself is also very kind and accommodating and made us feel so safe and at home! The outdoor shower is also a magical experience! This is not just a Yurt, it feels like a whole little retreat on Vashon Island.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The area was beautiful and peaceful and the hurt was comfortable. My husband and I were bikepacking so it was nice to have a break from setting up the tent. I let the host know ahead of time that we would be arriving late and she told me where everything was on the property. We would definitely stay here again.

Well appointed yurt, nice bathroom and cozy shower. Full kitchen with all needed amenities. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching birds and squirrels. Host has games and a movie viewer available which was nice on a rainy day. Parking is sufficient for one car. Some traffic noise as close to major highway. Overall a pleasant experience.

My kids and I loved this quick little getaway to the mountains! The yurt had plenty of room for all of us. The views are spectacular and there was no boredom found with a play set and animals to look at and pet, like goats, bunnies, pigs, horses and more! Juliane even gave both my kiddos a pony ride! Right across the road there’s a peaceful spot right on the river to hang out with and the location is super close to town for dining and shopping. Highly recommend!

Eric was a lovely host! The yurt was incredibly romantic (thanks for the additional birthday flowers!), comfy, and the setup was excellent. We had everything we needed and more. Visits from Merlin, the big shaggy dog, were very welcome and sweet. The bed was amazing! Eric gave great tips about things to see and do in the area as well.
