The best yurt rentals in San Juan Islands

San Juan Islands pack a surprising punch for yurt camping—six unique spots, each with its own quirks and scenery. Expect an average night to run you $113, but you’ll find options dipping as low as $110. You get toilets, wifi, and campfires are allowed, which means you’re not roughing it but you’re not at a hotel either. Fishing, wildlife-watching, and hiking are your main draws here; bald eagles and foxes aren’t rare sights. Local favorites include Happy Frog Springs/Hobson Meadows (26 reviews), Hideaway Glamping (19 reviews), and Heron's Nest Botanicals (8 reviews). Expect yurts tucked in quiet meadows, some with sweeping water views, and plenty of privacy. You’re not just booking a bed—you’re getting a front-row seat to island sunrise and bird calls. Pack layers, ferry schedules get tight, and don’t forget your binoculars.

2 acres of serenity. An opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. We are a small hobby farm. We offer two different Glamping sites... a Yurt and a tent capsite. Your private getaway is secluded from the rest of the farm life but you are welcome to visit and partake in whatever the farm offers.

There are walking/biking trails right around the corner and you are 15 minutes from downtown, the ocean and enjoying sports like kayaking, swimming, whale watching, etc. Our glamping sites are completely off grid.

There are plastic bags provided for animal waste disposal when dogs are in the backyard and on neighborhood walks. Cleaning up after pets includes excess pet hair, especially on furniture. Please use the waterproof pet blanket provided for the sofa and bed. Guests bring the animal onto the property at their own risk. The booking guest is liable for any damages that pets cause. (We will have to charge a cleaning fee if your dog leaves behind a mess or causes damage.) We find that most people are cooperative and responsible with their pets. We love traveling with our fur babies, and would like to keep allowing pets in our listings. Thank you for being understanding and working with us to keep our rental available to pets!

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.

What a lovely experience! Beth was so communicative and answered our questions. The yurt had a super cozy bed! You can stay here even if it’s chilly - the evenings were cold BUT the accessible campfire and super warm and cozy bed kept us warm! It is absolutely feasible in chillier weather, just be prepared! Her husband helped us out with some firewood as we hadn’t had a chance to buy any and he also kindly shared some homegrown apples with us on our way out! Clean bathroom, peaceful environment, and 2 lovely dogs! Will absolutely stay again when we find ourselves in the area. Thanks! :)

Weekend Trip to Hobson Meadows

Two of us stayed here for one night. We live in Seattle and it was a perfect place to stay after spending the day in Bellingham. We arrived after sunset and our host quickly came outside to help guide us to our yurt, which was so appreciated. It was raining on and off throughout our stay, but we stayed dry and the bed was unexpectedly comfortable. The only suggestion I have is to add another large rug inside for warmth and coziness. We’ll be back again, hopefully for longer!

I stayed in the Elderberry yurt with my girlfriend and the place was absolutely stunning. It was decorated so cute and cozy inside the yurt, it made for such a calming, magical moment inside when it rained. Also, having a flushable toilet is HUUUUGEEE. The bathrooms were incredibly clean and upkept daily. Definitely made things a lot easier. The campsite was incredibly spacious and there was plenty of room to sunbathe, eat, and relax. Beth and her husband were so generous and accommodating. They were so ready to jump at anything we needed, like extra blankets or firewood. They’re definitely one of the nicest people we’ve ever met. The campsite is also close enough to town to be able to grab anything from the store if need be, which was super helpful. We will definitely be coming back to such a gorgeous place. Definitely made our weekend very memorable.

Weekend Trip to Natures Way Yurt & Spa

The yurt and nature spa were absolutely fantastic. My sister and I spent two nights at Kaitlyn’s place. The yurt was so cozy and the mattress was the perfect firmness. The nature spa was so relaxing. We appreciated that we could use the spa throughout our stay and spent the first night in the hot tub stargazing. Kaitlyn recommended a hike for us to do which was lovely - we then came back to the spa all set up for an elemental circuit including a clay mask and seaweed. We felt so good afterwards! Kaitlyn was so kind and welcoming, would stay here again!

The yurt was so cozy and the area was secluded which made it easy to relax. The amenities such as a solar shower, grill and compostable toilet area with a pump sink is perfect for those who are not so comfortable with tent camping. The yurt is on the smaller side but it was enough room for my partner, myself and our pups! We enjoyed coming back to this area after exploring Bellingham and going for a swim at the nearby lakes. The directions were clear and we would definitely stay 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.

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.

My daughter (age 10) and I stayed at Beth and Matt's place for a week along with another family while our kids were in a summer camp nearby. The hosts were so kind and friendly and their two dogs were an absolute joy to have around. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and having a bathroom and shower made the longer stay possible. The location is quiet and peaceful and it feels like you are away but also close to all the modern conveniences if you need anything. A lot to explore in the area. Loved our visit and look forward to going back!

What an incredibly charming glamping site. Our hosts were amazing and went above and beyond to help us find swimming holes, fishing, and activities nearby. They left so many thoughtful touches such as bedside lanterns, cups and plates, and s’more roasting sticks by the fire. The pond was lovely for the kids to catch frogs and explore. They had so many wildlife sightings and I loved how much space they could roam freely. Our site was on full sun and pretty hot during the heat of the day but our friends next to us had a great shade tree which helped. Although the shower did not have hot water, it was so refreshing after a hot day out and having a toilet and dish washing stations was so convenient. What a special place. We will certainly return to Beth’s place.

Had a great time staying in the elderberry yurt, with my gf. Everything was clean and well kept up. Hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating. Overall we loved our stay. Our only feedback was that for the price it would've been nice to take a warm shower. But still really enjoyed this place.
