We had a wonderful stay, sad we didn't get a longer visit. There is tons of places to explore and we would definitely love to come back. The folks were helpful, kind and welcoming. Definitely has a family friendly welcome. The yurt was warm even though it was pouring all night long. First night we left heat on low, second night we left it off. They have probably one of the most well appointed kitchens we have ever seen, big and roomy. There are games and books and seating. Big family style table for games and dining. Like home away from home with loads of hiking trails near by. We brought our dogs and they had a blast. Next time we come to visit I wont be in class all day. We cannot say enough about how beautiful it is in camp and the surrounding area. 100% recommend!

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.

We enjoyed our stay in the yurt! Plenty of bedding, towels, utensils for cooking and eating. No baking sheet, we used aluminum foil instead with no issue. Beautiful property, wonderful hosts. Will be back!

This was the perfect spot to come back to after a long day of hiking and exploring! It was nestled in the woods and was peaceful and cozy. The bed was super comfortable ( the heated mattress pad was a game changer) and the yurt had everything we needed to cook. The bath house was also super cute and different! I loved the tile. It’s about 45 minutes from a Rainier park entrance which is perfect if you want to be in close proximity but avoid staying in the park. The hosts were very kind and communicative and the location was easy to find. I would definitely recommend this magical little hideaway!

Weekend Trip to Two Frog Bog

The Paisley Yurt was beautiful and very homey! The bed and couch were comfortable, the lighting warm, and the kitchen stocked with dishes and a lovely assortment of tea. The bathroom had a generous offering of bath salts, and bubble baths for the big tub. As two women travelers, the property and hosts felt very safe. Elona & Jim were friendly, responsive, and warm hosts. Would recommend to others!

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.

Weekend Trip to Wildfern Grove

This is my favorite getaway place. It's simple and gracious, a beautiful setting for a peaceful retreat or rest. It isn't too far from Mount Rainier and other good hiking areas, but right now, unfortunately, the primary road down to Rainier is closed because of a bridge problem and another road that would have gone to alternative areas was also closed from a bridge problem, so I do recommend checking road access to special places before you go. Note, this is August 2025, so hopefully the roads will be reopened before too long. Nevertheless, this is a truly amazing place. I love the yurts, the giant maples and the meadows. There's also a community house with a kitchen that is incredibly well stocked and a lovely community living room there also very gracious. There's a cedar hot tub on the deck, which is quite lovely. They've upgraded now and have compostable toilets and hand washing stations. Another note, there is no electricity in the yurts, and while they provide simple lanterns. Next time, I will for sure bring a larger battery and electric lamp. for when I need more light and to charge up my phone. There is a charging station in the community house,.

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.

A really special place! We loved our conversation with two of the long-term residents. Very communal, natural feel. Everything was labeled, clean, and well-stocked, and our yurt bed was extremely comfortable, too. Easy gravel driveway.

The sites were a lil close together but the yurt was adorable and cozy. It did get a little warm but felt really nice on the colder nights. The owners were doing renovations so was a bit loud during the afternoon but once construction stopped it was very peacefull. The kitchen had everything you could ever need and the hot tub was super relaxing, especially after all dat hiking. I loved the vibes of the owners and the property. Very romantic!

What a great stay in the heart yurt--would certainly recommend! There are showers both in the common area and outdoor showers (both with hot water!!). There are a whole bunch of shared items in the kitchen are and board games and instruments in the common area too. Access instructions were clear and straightforward and a binder/booklet was provided on the table to orient guests to all of the amenities. The bed was comfy and warm with nice sheets and pillows that were on the firmer side. The hosts and people working here were kind and welcoming and helpful whenever I needed anything. There's a toilet in the common area as well as composting toilets closer to the yurts. The composting toilets were v nice--the nicest I've encountered! All around great stay! The one thing that could have been frustrating (didn't become a problem till the morning I was leaving) was that there was a leak around a window which allowed a slow dribble of water into the yurt. Probably easily fixable with some caulk or something?
