Creature comforts

Enjoy the comforts of home—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.

Double Bear is a rugged three yurt glamping escape in the Santa Cruz Mountains, a secluded setting on a 1.5 mile mountain dirt road among towering redwoods with sweeping views, just 30 minutes from Silicon Valley. It is designed for those who appreciate quiet beauty, a touch of adventure, and the feeling of being truly off the map without being far from it. Our camp features three sleeping yurts, a spacious shared kitchen yurt, and a bathhouse, all thoughtfully placed to let the landscape take center stage. The yurts, up to 30 feet in diameter, offer a unique sense of space and comfort in a natural setting. Soak in the hot tub beneath the trees, enjoy dinner on the pavilion terrace, gather around the fire, or wander the woods at your own pace. Privacy Up the hill sits a separate art house that is occasionally rented, while the owner lives about 10 minutes down the road and is available if needed. You also have the option to book the entire camp, three yurts with 16 plus beds, along with the kitchen yurt and bathhouse, for your group. Hiking / Biking The land is steep, rugged, and spans 83 acres of private forest. You are free to explore and discover hidden corners of the property. You may come across some remarkable surprises along the way. Getting around takes effort, and that is part of the experience. Surrounding area • Two highly rated wineries within a 10 minute drive • Groceries, breakfast, lunch, and dinner options about 15 minutes away • Castle Rock State Park and Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve approximately 20 minutes away Getting here is part of the adventure Double Bear is about a 30 minute drive from Los Gatos. The final stretch is a 1.2 mile drive up a steep dirt road, crossing Bear Creek and winding through the mountains. The road is suitable for 2WD vehicles, just be comfortable driving on dirt roads. Wi Fi Once you arrive, you will have access to reliable, low latency satellite Wi Fi around camp. Cell service can be limited, so we recommend downloading maps in advance. Our approach Double Bear is not built as a for profit venture, but as a place to share the land and its experience. We are just getting started, and your feedback is truly appreciated as we continue shaping it.

Glamping

Bear Hollow (up to 4 persons)

My partner and I loved camp Double Bear! We were lucky to have the site to ourselves, so we had a quiet, peaceful, and relaxing anniversary weekend. We especially loved the wood stoves and fireplace, they added extra coziness. The bathrooms and showers were very clean, and the kitchen was awesome. We were able to store food and make our meals easily. Any questions we had were quickly answered by Mathilda, the host. We’re definitely looking forward to coming back with more friends/family.

Redwood Yurt paradise

Group trip ·

Bear’s Den (up to 8 persons)

Wow! What a magical hidden gem. We loved the mix of rustic redwood vibes and modern luxury. The yurts felt so fresh and cozy (the USB ports were a nice touch!), and the modern bathroom / showers were a huge plus. We spent every night by the fireplace taking in the valley views—simply priceless. Just a heads up that the road up is a little bumpy, but it just added to the sense of adventure for us. The host’s communication was perfect and the whole place was spotless. If you can, book the whole place for the ultimate getaway!

10/10 LOVED our stay

Bear Hollow (up to 4 persons)

We had such a great stay here. The space was incredibly clean and well kept, which made it feel comfortable right away. We were welcomed with a few snacks, which was a really thoughtful touch. The bed was super comfortable, and we loved the open layout having a cozy couch, tv, and reliable wifi made it easy to relax at night. The bathrooms were also very clean, and the hot water was perfect after a long day out. The kitchenette was adorable and surprisingly well stocked with pots, pans, silverware, and a refrigerator everything we needed (and even things we might have forgotten) were already there. One of our favorite parts was spending the evenings by the fire making s’mores. It was so peaceful, quiet, and exactly the kind of relaxing getaway we were hoping for. The host was incredibly kind and attentive they made sure the bathrooms were cleaned daily and even reset the fire for us each night, which we really appreciated. Overall, such a cozy, thoughtful, and relaxing place to stay. We would absolutely come back.

Amazing Glamping experience

With kids ·

Bear’s Den (up to 8 persons)

Absolutely amazing clapping experience, the units are really Wheale fitted out with a wood running stove, completely ready to go and even Netflix TV. We loved the red wood, hot tub upon arrival. Great hiking and beautiful nature all around. The last part of the drive is a little perilous but the destination is definitely worth it . Fantastic, kind hosts - great experience!!!
