A Refuge by the River in Oregon

Host Katrina Kniest says:

Welcome to TAMAKA (aka Tipi Land). This sacred land is held as a place for healing, rest, recreation (such as fly fishing and ping pong), and communion with Self, friends and Nature. We are located a short walk away from Steelhead Falls, as well as a place of more private Deschutes River access known as “Folley Waters”. We live a vibrant, very low EMF lifestyle here (in part thanks to our remote location) and invite you, if you feel called, to shut off your wireless devices and fully experience this slice of eden! You are welcome to relax and invigorate with our 4 person wood burning barrel sauna and cold (or hot) shower hydrotherapy setup & access to the river and beautiful canyon rim is just a short walk from our property through BLM.

Our 26’ Tipi is a communal space for prayer, meditation, yoga, restorative movement (many tools available in there for your use), playing music, curling up with a book, etc. No shoes or food are allowed in the Tipi. Mindful sipping of drinks is ok, however please respect our CLEAN & CLEAR policy: drugs and alcohol are NOT welcome here. If you’re seeking an altered state, try the hydrotherapy.

There is a bathroom with a flushing cassette toilet and hand washing sink (running hot water is also available in the "garage kitchen").

There is a fire pit, a picnic table, a medicine wheel, some zero gravity chairs (they can be moved around). The garage has ping pong, wired speakers with adapters to plug your music source into. In the garage is also a sink with hot water, a fridge entirely for your use, electric kettle, coffee and tea setup, toaster oven, some dishes, cookware and cutlery. You are welcome to enjoy any or all of these amenities, just clean up your mess afterwards.

NO PETS ALLOWED (there are two indoor/outdoor cats who live here).

The main house is private and off limits to guests.

We do not book more than one party at a time. We welcome up to 6 people in your party. There are several level tent sites.

All drinking and bathing water comes from our well, which sources from the Opal Springs aquifer.

You are welcome to fill your containers:-)
