This magical and private Yurt in the woods are just 2 miles from Nevada City Come experience the Beauty of the Sierra Foothills and the Yuba River in our Yurts tucked into the forest just 2 miles from downtown Nevada City. With a natural creek right outside your door and hiking trails right off the deck, this serene and beautiful yurt retreat awaits you. Nevada City is renowned for its excellent food, shopping, nightlife and farmer’s market. A leisurely walk into town takes 45 mins, bike in 15 or drive in 5. Grass Valley is 10 minutes away as well and has more food, shopping, and entertainment for you. Access to the Yuba River is as close as 20 mins to Edwards Crossing and 20 mins to Hoyts Crossing on Highway 49. We absolutely recommend trying to stay for two or more nights so that you can get accustomed to the space, learn the property, settle in, and relax. Each yurt has a wood-fired stove inside with plenty of wood stacked to keep you warm. Each yurt has a kitchen that is fully equipped with a hot plate, toaster oven, microwave, refrigerator, cutlery, pots and pans, grill, etc. Each yurt has a Queen bed with a heating blanket to help keep you cozy throughout the night. Each yurt has its own dedicated wood-fired hot tub. It requires a fire to be lit and maintained to keep it hot. Things you might like to bring: headlamps, robe, flip flops, slippers, hiking shoes. Water: we are on a well and provide fresh drinking water in a container for you. It’s fine to drink, cook, and bathe with the water from the tap but it can have a minerally quality to it. We test the well annually. We provide filtered water but if it runs out, the water out of the tap is safe and delicious. The hot tub: it’s wood fired. This means you have to heat it with a fire to get it hot. This can take many hours to get to the right temperature. It’s a good idea to start a fire right when you get there! This tub may have leaves in it (they fall from above) and cloudy water. The water should NOT smell, the cloudiness is a part of the cedar tubs charm- ash from the fire and particulate from the cedar mix together. We treat it between guests with natural products that maintain the wood (you can’t use chlorine in these tubs). We clean it regularly. Shower before using it to wash off any oils and sweat in your body please! The outdoor shower is lovely :) Fireplace: We will leave you a bundle of wood that comes with the rental. If you need more wood you can purchase it from us or from the grocery store. We have lots of wood at the yurt and we ask you to pay $10 per bundle if you use more then we leave you inside. This is on the honor system- It takes a lot of time and resources to keep wood stocked for the property. If you don’t know how to start a fire you may want to bring an instant log with you. Please leave the lighter behind for the next guest. Sleep: we have a heating blanket for cold nights, It’s about 10 degrees cooler on our land than in town. This is a real treat during our hot summers. There will be a fan for you as well during the warm season. We live in the woods, there are bugs and wild animals on/or near the property. This is part of the country charm and should be expected. Please don't leave food outside. Land acknowledgment: We acknowledge that our property is located on unceeded land. It is the traditional homeland of the Nisenan tribe. The Nisenan tribe is alive and active and continues to fight for federal recognition and compensation for land loss. We donate 10% of AIRBB proceeds between CHIRP which promotes the history and culture of the Nisenan tribe. https://chirpca .org/ And the Bear Yuba Land Trust which helps protect the fragile Yuba watershed. https:// www.bylt .org/is Thank you

Magical Yurt in the woods

What a beautiful stay at the East Yurt! Feels completely private and secluded, but just a short drive from all Nevada City and Grass Valley have to offer! The chickens and goats on the property were a plus!

Your private Yurt in the woods

We'd highly recommend staying at Nathan's yurt in the woods! We spend 3 nights there with the intent of a relaxing getaway, and felt very refreshed afterwards. The yurt certainly met the definition of "glamping", as we felt both immersed in nature and also pampered by the clean and spacious yurt, private restroom, and fire pit + hot tub outdoor oasis. The setup is very tastefully done. There is quick and easy access to Nevada City if needed/desired, although we felt like everything we needed was already at the site. Depending on the season, our only recommendation would be to plan to use plenty of firewood. Especially if you are trying to fully enjoy the firepit, indoor stove, and hot tub, you may end up using quite a bit. The hot tub itself definitely took several hours of continuous fire to get to a comfortable temperature, so plan on plenty of wood and getting that going first thing (or having Nathan help) if you plan to use it! Thanks for hosting, Nathan. Looking forward to coming back sometime!

Your private Yurt in the woods

I had an amazing time on Nathan and Megan’s land. The yurt was such comfortable stay. Anything you could possibly need was provided, I brought some of my camping things with me but ended up needing nothing but my headlamp at night. I was so glad to have the option to pay to have the fires going before arrival, the yurt was cozy and the hot tub was hot. It was perfect for cold temps in the 30s and kept you warm enough on the race back to the yurt. The land was beautiful. This was my first time to the area and I absolutely fell in love with the towns nearby and this beautiful yurt and experience. I can’t wait to come back to see it in all the seasons.
