The Four Seasons of Camping
With pets
Keith and Lori were wonderful, warm hosts, and the land itself was absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and private. There were so many thoughtful touches throughout the property, including a lovely gathering space adorned with unique Bob Dylan art and prayer flags; everything felt so intentional for a peaceful retreat. It's dog-friendly too, and our pups had the best time roaming around the land.
The location was fantastic, just a short distance from Bucks Lake, with nearby swimming spots and endless hiking opportunities in the national forest the property butts up to. Taking new routes each day on the vast trails was a real highlight, along with reading a whole book in a day and playing cards in the gathering space. We also spent time exploring Lassen Volcanic National Park.
There's a full cooking setup ready to go, so no need to bring pans, dishes, or spices; it's all provided. It was nice to have electricity, and the outhouse and hot water shower were such welcome amenities after a day of hiking and being out in nature.
One thing to be aware of: bees. Citronella helped, but keeping the dish station clean is a must to fully enjoy your time on the deck. And the view of the stars at night was nothing short of incredible.
While extremely private, it was comforting to know our hosts were just a short distance away, and Keith was so kind and friendly throughout our stay. Quincy is a short drive away if you need to restock on supplies.
We can't wait to come back!

Very remote and quiet. Didn’t hear anyone during our stay. Clean yurt in a beautiful spot a few miles outside of town.

An Honest Review
With kids
What an absolutely amazing place this is. I can’t recommend this spot enough. The yurt is spectacular and the property is off the hooks! I am reluctant to leave a review because I wanna book this place again and not compete with y’all.
We were a group of 5, three adults and two teens. Four fit easily in the yurt. I slept on the porch the first night, but rain drove me into the yurt on the second night. We all fit comfortably, no problem at all.
We all walked to the carnivorous plant botanical garden and were absolutely blown away. So beautiful. The hike was a bit harder than I thought it would be, but definitely worth it.
After a nice lunch at the picnic table, we all walked down to the local swimming hole. It was absolutely spectacular. We had the whole place to ourselves. The water was perfect and my son had a great time looking for crawdads.
We went into Quincy for dinner on Saturday night. The brewery was hopping and had good food, beer, and vibes. We were trying to watch the World Cup, but they didn’t have TVs. We caught the game on my friend’s phone.
When we got back, we realized that one of the kids accidentally locked the door to the yurt. It was close to 9 PM, but when we texted the hosts, Keith promptly helped us out. He is such a kind person. He was not only helpful, but also uplifting, making sure we were all OK in a sticky situation. He got us in pretty quickly and I am so grateful for his attentiveness.

Great Long weekend with the girls
Group trip
Stayed here with a group of six and we really enjoyed! Shower was hot and clean and Lori/Lucky were super responsive anytime we needed drinking water or anything else. The quiet out in the woods is unbelievable and the Yurt is centrally located to a lot of Plumas county hikes/lakes. We went to the Sierra buttes and Bucks lake which were both incredible. There are also plenty of deck chairs and a picnic table so you don’t need to bring a folding table or camp chairs. Overall would stay again in a heartbeat!

Glamping retreat , no mosquitoes!
With pets
Lori's yourt is easily accessible, but incredibly secluded. The hosts are just as hidden someplace beyond the yrees, but available and responsive. If you need a true retreat, this is the spot! The heartfelt hospitality and " merak " is palpable as soon as you turn into the steep forest road with fun markets leading you to a hill where your aboard is awaiting you and your empty " to do list". Your children and furry kids can be let loose to roam happily and safely. Comfy bed with cozy bedding, kitchen with cute fridge and matching Fiesta plates. Hot shower and surprisingly fresh outside toilet with a pine canopy view. A meditative outdoor " forest sanctuary" awaits your zafi, yoga mat and presence!. If the art of doing nothing runs it's course, a hidden nature reserve for carnivore pitcher plants is a few miles away. The forest drive is treacherous, you may have to hike few miles in to the end of the road . A sign will point left to a footpath to " pitcher plant reserve". The forest has seen fire , so it will look like you missed the mark, until a sign marked " boardwalk" will lead you a bout 150 feet left to a large boggy clearing with scores of wildflowers, including the pitcher plant 's beautiful orchid -like blooms ( June 1st, 26). Well worth the effort. Bird-watchers will also be pleased in Butterfly valley and beyond. Another good excursion worth the 3 hours out of your private Paradise is Frasier falls via Quincy, it was going strong on June 1st. Fermament view from bed

Amazing, secluded Yurt!
With pets
Super awesome Yurt on a great piece of land with awesome hosts. Convenient to both a town with provisions and food and amazing outdoor activities while still feeling remote and in nature. Our dog especially had a blast.
Thanks so much to Keith and Lori for an amazing stay!

Fantastic Yurt!
Group trip
The Butterfly Yurt is the perfect glamping spot! It's private, comfortable, and has just enough amenities to make the stay easy yet with the camping feel. Lori and Lucky were great hosts -- nearby if needed but out of sight and earshot. The location is great for access to Quincy, the Feather River canyon, the Lakes region (the hike to the Sierra Buttes lookout is epic!), swimming, hot springs, etc. Or just laze on the yurt's deck with a cup of coffee and read. We hope to go back again soon.

BEST YURT
With pets
This was our first time camping in a yurt- or any premade structure for that matter! I couldn’t complain about a single thing, there was so much more provided in the yurt than we could have imagined. There is basically a full kitchen set up witch dishes and utensils, extra blankets, fire wood for the fire place, A SHOWER, toilet paper, lighters, even cooking oil! It was such a relaxing get away for my family and I. We had such a blast exploring the property, going to the swimming hole basically 3 minutes away, and just enjoying each others company. Although the structure itself is rather close to the home, it still feels so secluded and like you’re right in the middle of nowhere. If you’re thinking about pulling the trigger on something nice for camping, don’t bother looking anywhere else!

Dogs first outing
With pets
The butterfly valley yurt was great! We went the end of May and it was arm enough during the day to go swim in the swimming hole but cold enough at night to cuddle up! Lori had a fan, oven, some plates and utensils, and tons of blankets. Bed was comfortable enough. Outhouse didn’t stink and easy to use. Shower nozzle not too strong, but there was a shower and warm water!
Lori was very thoughtful in making sure there was potable water at the yurt for use. We came very prepared so didn’t really need much. There’s electric and a deck w a table and chairs to relax on. There’s a trash bin to leave ur trash.
The property is beautiful. There are neighbors around but not close enough to matter. This was the first adventure trip of our “new” dog. We weren’t sure how he would be, but he did great w the seclusion of the property. We will def be back!

Glamping for the win!
The yurt was clean and spacious. It got fairly close to freezing one night and yet we didn't feel the need to fire up the wood stove. The kitchen has the basics, but foodies will want to bring their favorite cooking gear if they plan to throw down in the kitchen. It's a reasonably short walk to the river, which looked pretty ideal for swimming. The carnivorous plants in the nearby botanical garden are worth a visit. Both the hosts were really nice, as were their two dogs.
We'll definitely go back.

Good and bad
The property wasn’t quite what expected to be so close to other dwellings but it is gorgeous. The yurt is really nice. Could use a place to hang a coat, and the owners are wonderful. It was private enough and some amazing swimming holes near by. My one big issue was the place was filthy and not just… your in a yurt and it should be expected. We had to find places to stack all the bedding and didn’t want to touch the couch. Piles of dog hair on everything and don’t move any furniture! Uncleaned surfaces with food on it still that attracts mice so lock up your food! Overall as a camper and a guy… I didn’t mind much. It was beautiful, but for my wife, she was not happy. So… I can’t be either.

Quiet, beautiful break. No phone!
With pets
The property is comfortable and the owners took care to make sure we had everything we needed.
The bed is comfortable and plenty of warm blankets.
Being novice wood stove operators, it was a challenge to keep the fire going. No one’s fault.
Plenty of towels for the shower. Shower was comfortably warm.
The stove and oven worked well.
The most perfect part was the quiet beautiful woodland and wonderful walking paths. The dogs had a blast and so did we!

Great weekend trip with the girlfriend! It was chilly outside but with the wood stove it was very comfortable in the yurt. I really appreciated the instructions for how to properly use the stove, as someone who isn't super outdoorsy it felt beginner friendly. The appliances worked great as well!

serenity amongst the trees
Another great trip at Butterfly Valley Yurt! It’s always serene and peaceful at Lorie’s Property. We love the fact you can play in the River all day, then take a nice hot shower before dinner; while enjoying being secluded amongst all the trees. Thanks again Lorie, We’ll see you again soon.

Excellent stay!!
With kids
Wonderful, private, clean yurt! Staying here reminded me why I love Hipcamp so much. You can’t get this type of experience in a hotel or house. I stayed with my two little kiddos and they’ll remember it for the rest of their lives! They were so excited to stay somewhere unique. The yurt was very well stocked with everything we needed and the shower house was amazing!! The privacy was excellent, could not see another house, only the pines.

Family recharge
With pets
our first time sleeping in a yurt and it won’t be our last. Lori and Keith make it feel like home away from home. Surroundings were absolutely beautiful and the swimming hole was amazing. there was a candle and some bug spray to keep the mosquitoes away, but would definitely recommend to bring more. The only thing we were confused about was in the description. It says trash bins are available, but it also says pack in pack out. we were unsure what we should do. We will definitely be going there again.

Private and relaxing
The yurt is awesome. Very well maintained and comfortable. The yurt and surrounding vault toilet and shower house sit above the personal property so you can't see anyone else around you. We spent our day exploring the surrounding area, even driving up to Caribou Rd and Lake Almanor.
