Juniper Yurt
what an awesome glamping experience. pics are all accurate. The road is not hard to navigate. I did it with no problems in a Tesla. It is a steep and narrow dirt road for about mile. The stove is propane which makes inside very cozy when I was there at 45 degrees at night. Basalt is a short 10 minutes away for a wide range of restaurants and activities including getting to Aspen for the day.

Absolutely loved our little yurt weekend at Juniper! Ginger communicated directions and details very thoroughly. The yurt was beautiful, clean and cozy!! Quiet and secluded but just minutes from downtown Basalt where we found great food and drinks. The views were beautiful, and we enjoyed a cozy little evening on the patio watching the sunset. The yurt had everything we needed and more. We’ll be back!

Highly recommend Juniper Yurt for an outdoor getaway. It was very clean and well equipped with all items one would need for their stay. There is a USB charging port for electronics. The outdoor shower worked great. Fresh spring water tasted delicious. The road is definitely not for a nervous or inexperienced driver. It is mostly single lane and windy - recommend doing it for the first time during the day versus a night arrival. I’m very much looking forward to returning here again.

Ginger’s Juniper yurt was true to the photos! Beautiful drive and view and flower lined property. Spacious and clean. Not far from towns and restaurants but also perfectly off grid. Ginger was responsive and attentive and we will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend ❤️

The town was so cute too and we loved the craft coffeehouse recommendation! We went there both mornings and got amazing avocado toast!!! So delicious!

Juniper Yurt was a true delight. My partner & I brought our fur kids for a three night stay. We were in awe as we drove the winding one lane road to the yurt. I spotted it on the mountain and pointed it out and my partner thought no way! Yes way! It was up in the trees, on Ginger & Robb’s homestead. Our stay, off the grid, was perfect in every way. It was stormy the first couple of nights- yurt rattling, bone shaking stormy- the perfect night to stay in. After the storm we enjoyed the Basalt Sunday market for local goods. We hiked (loved Frying Pan overlook), explored and just relaxed. The views from the deck, the patio, Ginger’s honey… all perfect. If you are looking for an off the grid yurt experience in the true beauty of Basalt, Juniper Yurt is not to be missed. A special thank you for sharing this stunningly beautiful slice of heaven.

If you're looking to disconnect in comfort this is the spot for you. It's tough to beat the beautiful views and peace & quiet of the Aspen Yurt. I look forward to coming back. 10/10.

Juniper Yurt
We loved the yurt very clean and quite comfortable. Had all the essential items you would need with amazing views from the deck. Quiet location tucked up in the mountain.

This place was amazing. I've been to some Hip Camp places that weren't exactly what they seemed. We were bringing two kids and a dog with us so I was anxious that it wouldn't be what we hoped. It was perfect, exactly what we wanted. The bed was so comfortable and the girls slept great on the pull out couch. My 11yo said her favorite part is the bench past the shower up next to the stream. The bench is surrounded by medicinal plants like yarrow, mullein and chamomile. She liked to go sit there in the mornings. My 3yo says her favorite part was hiking up behind the yurt to the waterfall. The only thing I'd mention is that there isn't a way to plug anything in other than 12v and two USB ports. We had brought a box fan and a rice cooker, but weren't able to use them. They are totally off the grid and only use solar energy (which is amazing!), but we just happened to go during record breaking highs so a fan would've been helpful. But we just ran through the sprinkler and sat down in the little creek and went down to town and swam in the river. We went to unplug and were able to just hang out as a family without screens. We played tons of Uno and the girls ran around like wild children. It's very secluded, it's at the end of the lane so no one goes by you. It was magical. I would love to come back.

We stayed at the Aspen Yurt in late July of 2024. Ginger's place is absolutely beautiful! The location is scenic and very private. The Yurt includes everything you need to prepare meals and just relax. The outdoor shower is wonderful and the bathroom is comfortable and convenient. We had two adults and two children under 13. There is plenty of room to spread out and the Yurt is bigger than expected. It was very clean with plenty of towels and extra blankets for the cool summer nights. I would highly recommend this property if you're looking for an off the grid experience with all the amenities still. The Yurt is about 10 minutes up the mountain from Basalt and 35 minutes from Aspen. Ginger was very helpful and timely in responding to anything we needed. We hope to visit again!

Amazing views from the Juniper yurt! This was our first time in a yurt, and it was a great experience! We enjoyed the seclusion and the plentiful outdoor activities in the area. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice stay at Gingers yurt. Completely private up a windy dirt but well graded and easily drivable road. Extremely dog friendly with gate and provided bowls, dog bed, blanket, etc. Beautifully appointed space with quality finishings. Loved the outdoor shower in the oak grove. Was very hot in mid July so keep that in mind.

The Juniper Yurt is incredible! It is beautifully situated with the most amazing views. The yurt is spacious and well-equipped. The outdoor shower was amazing as was sitting on the deck enjoying the views after our daily hikes. I would highly recommend staying here!

This was an exceptional yurt experience! Excellent location & the yurt was extremely well appointed & stocked. There was literally nothing we needed that wasn’t provided - nice dishes & towels, blankets for the patio at night, dog bowels, all the kitchen utensils & accessories we needed, games & puzzles, and very nice & comfortable furniture & bedding. The views from the yurt patio were outstanding & the location was as well - an easy & beautiful 5 min drive down the mountain to the heart of downtown Basalt. We had very high expectations based on the photos & reviews but they were exceeded! Thank you Ginger - we’ll definitely be back!!

We stayed at the Aspen Yurt with our two dogs during my very first trip to CO, and all of us were just blown away by this place! There are too many wonderful things to say about. Used to primitive camping, we were really happy to have the “glamping” accommodations after such a long drive across the country (outhouse with a view, outdoor shower, and indoor kitchen). Every aspect was so thoughtfully designed and managed to blend seamlessly with the nature around it. There was so much space to explore around the Aspen Yurt on its mountaintop, including a perfectly placed bench to enjoy the views next to a refreshing little stream. From this spot and the deck of the yurt, we were visited by rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels, and a pine marten. And the wildflowers — too many to look at them all! My absolute favorite touch was the outdoor shower, which was built so beautifully to include the surrounding aspen trees. Wish we could have stayed a lifetime!

We spent two weeks traveling through beautiful settings in Wyoming and Colorado. Staying in Juniper Yurt was the best. It was unique and memorable. The yurt was fully stocked a with the necessities. The views outside on the deck were beautiful. We slept the best in the yurt and felt at peace on the property. The outdoor shower was gorgeous and the highlight of our mornings. Ginger was easy to communicate with. We highly recommend staying at Juniper yurt!

It is a lovely yurt with a gorgeous view. Some amenities that made this yurt stand out from others is that it had potable running water, gas fireplace, outhouse with dry compost system, comfortable bed, functional layout, USB charging station, and a deck with a beautiful view of the mountains. It was also a great bonus that it is dog-friendly.
However, I feel we were misled by the description and reviews we had read regarding the privacy. Because of the proximity to another yurt up the road past ours, and the house across the way, there were cars and trucks driving nearby/past our yurt throughout the day and late into the evening. Additionally, both properties had dogs which would bark and cause our reactive dog to bark at all hours of the day and late at night (this is one of the reasons we do not go camping at campgrounds and instead choose isolated spots).
When we arrived, there was helpful paperwork with recommendations for nearby restaurants and places to visit. We received good communication from the host, and overall had a good experience for our week-long visit. I would recommend this yurt to anyone who is looking for a beautiful location with comfortable lodging, but is not desiring complete isolation. I would not recommend the yurt to anyone who plans on bringing a dog who is reactive to barking (or vehicles approaching your property), or anyone wishing to be immersed in nature with no neighbors.
