Enchanted Yurt Retreat
Cannot recommend enough, a really magical place. The yurt was kept warm with the wood burning stove and the sauna was an absolute treat. We loved talking to all the folks at the farm, can't wait to go back!

The farm is lovely, and the yurt is nice. Overall, there are improvements that need to be made to justify the price of this yurt (with hipcamp fees, we paid $100/night). There was no communication on the listing about what we needed to bring, other than the host telling us to bring bedding, but we needed much more. There wasn't even a lighter or matches for the wood stove to hear the yurt. The outdoor kitchen was nice, but there were very few pots to actually cook with, and no strainer for pasta, the most basic camping meal. It would have also been nice to know how far it was from the yurt, we may have brought a cooler to keep some things with us and not have to trek through the rain to the kitchen. There was no information posted anywhere and no walk through, so we just had to find the kitchen surge protector in the dark to turn the lights on, know how the composting toilet worked, etc. The yurt is very large, so there's plenty of room for a table and some seating, but none of that is in there.
Overall, the yurt is a great idea, but if they want it to be this rustic and hands off, they can't charge quite so much. Or just make a few adjustments so that guests can have a relaxing experience.

Frankly speaking. this was one of the best camping trips we ever had. Booked it at a very last minute and upon getting there, while rather basic, the whole experience just blew us away. Such a peaceful and tranquil place! The mornings were surreal, no car noises, no airplanes, just birds and nothing else! Furthermore, to my surprise our kids were spending hours around sheep and never mentioned they were bored (WIFI is only available in around the outdoor kitchen) and we didn’t have a reception, which was great, a true gadget detox 🙂. Once again this was a great experience and we can’t wait to get back there!

Den made spending my 43rd here pretty smooth and carefree. The wood burning sauna, which he built (!!!!!), was amazing and it was just nice being natural and free ^_^ he also built the yurt, which was cool. Loved the outdoor kitchen, too. Tons of berries to eat everywhere. Will try to visit again!

Had a great time staying at the Yurt! The compostimg toilets were extra clean. The land and location was beautiful. We did the farm tour and got to see how they sustain themselves, which was awesome to see. Brought 2 toddlers who had fun running on the land and eating blueberries.

Super cute yurt! I love the environment. It was serene and beautiful. My 9 year old and I really enjoyed it. He had a blast playing the thongophone on the wall. I have no idea how he knew how to play it. But it was definitely a very peaceful rendition of Mary had a little lamb. Definitely bring your own bedding. It gets chilly at night without the stove on. The futons aren’t the most comfy. But definitely a great experience full of adventure!

Was a nice place to stay after exploring the Skamokawa Vista Park. If you come here I would definitely take the time to go to the state park. Was peaceful at the Yurt. Toilet was nice and clean and had a nice space to wash hands. No complaints.

Epic dragon maple creek campground
Ah! It was just lovely. So nice to be out on the land where people are stewarding it well & not just there to exploit it for money!
There was a lot of love in this place & we felt really free to be ourselves.
I love the off-leash dog allowance so much too.
What a harmonious place. We’re already discussing our return.
Den was a gracious, responsive & helpful host & it was lovely to meet him & his partner who’s name sadly evades me at the moment.

We stayed 2 nights, one in the yurt which was magical and whimsical and everything a girls trip or romantic getaway needs, Including a very nicely kept out house attached to the yurt. The yurts was furnished with floor pads of different thickness , with lots of pillows, throw blankets and a wood stove too.
The second night we used the bell tents. Some had floor pads, some did not. The red one was smaller, but had its own fire pit. The blue one was smaller as well, but was closer to on-site amenities on both sides.
A quick walk down the road and over a small bridge, Den had tge most enchanting outdoor kitchen. Pictures provided. It felt like several large families could all eat in the same space without being to evasive. The kitchen had almost all the amenities one could need and then some.
Directly around the corner from the outdoor kitchen was a wooded area with hammocks and lights which felt intimate and cozy. Not too far from that, was an old school sauna and a really well made but rustic outdoor shower.
Over all, Den's farm was rustic and charming and highly recommend a stay here.
Thankyou, Den!

Absolutely incredible spot. The pictures don’t do it justice but it’s surrounded by gorgeous Mountain views and rolling hills. Both Den and Max are super great guys and very helpful. The land feels peaceful and magical, we really didn’t want to leave. My partner and I can’t wait to come back!!

This land is beautiful! We only stayed overnight on a road trip so we didn’t get to explore as much as we wanted. There is a community kitchen that we didn’t utilize but it was cool! Den was super chill and personable. We loved the community fire pit. We will definitely be back to stay a few days!

Den’s place is a great place to get away from the bustle of life. I stayed in the red yurt, which was large enough for me and my 55lb dog, and her dog bed. Our space was private and shaded in the trees.
The outdoor kitchen is super charming and has everything you need to cook up some food, charge your phone, or get some filtered water.
I chose this place hoping to avoid the sound of fireworks over the 4th, but unfortunately they neighbors off yonder didn’t mind risking a forest fire. So my poor dog and I had to pack up and leave early for our sanity.
Den was friendly and welcoming, along with some other folks there helping out.
I would definitely go back for another stay.

Lotus Belle bud tent in spruces
Just as everyone has mentioned, the location is beautiful spacious and peaceful. I stayed in the blue tent near a magical maple tree. I heard called grandmother Maple. Den was so welcoming when we first got there.

Everything went well. Nice private site. Staff super helpful. Den answered my questions before I arrived (on a gold wing trike and wanted to make sure I could get to site. )
Beautiful property, eclectic. Outdoor kitchen was great to have. Outdoor shower worked however needs a little work.
Nice walking trails. A must if you wish some of nature’s grandest beauty.

I had a wonderful experience at Elkenmist! I
My partner and I planned a last minute getaway to relax from the hustle and bustle of city life. Spending the weekend in a lovely yurt surrounded by grass and trees was everything we needed. Den was a friendly and accommodating host, we felt very welcomed in the space! The yurt is super spacious and the woodfire stove was a great addition to add to the cozy atmosphere - it saved us when the sun went down. The yurt had many outdoor chairs, extra sleeping mats, a broom and floor cleaner, and it DOES have an outlet for charging things. I will say I did see some droppings in the yurt, but it is a farm as well so that could be expected, just be mindful about keeping food and such off the floor and bringing your own bedding. There are string lights inside as well. I could see it being really fun with a group! The bathroom, right behind the yurt, was so clean, and the wood composting toilets were an interesting concept that worked surprisingly well to keep it smelling decent. The kitchen was well equipped, had a sink with filtered water and useful supplies! Wish I would’ve had time for the farm tour because the animals looked sooo cute! I would highly recommend staying here :)

My partner and I had an amazing time here for her birthday, I think our biggest regret was not having more time to explore more of the trails around the property. The yurt was very well built, stayed warm with the stove, and was very large for two people and two dogs. The single sleeping mat was surprisingly comfortable and the outhouse was only a short walk from the front doors. Den was extremely kind and helpful in making sure the stay was successful and fun, and the farm tour with Max was great as we were able to meet a lot of baby sheep and rabbits, and we were met with answers to all of our many questions. The location is far enough out that you hear and see a lot of nature, but centrally located enough that we were able to explore both the Washington and Oregon coast easily! The shared outdoor kitchen offers enough amenities that you shouldn’t have any problems making food, the wood fired sauna was an excellent addition, and the outdoor shower is just a few steps away from the sauna and kitchen making everything fairly central. We had such a fun time and we look forward to our next stay!

My family of four (including a six year old) had a good time. There are sheep in a meadow and we enjoyed being stared at placidly by them. The composting toilet was delightfully clean and tidy. Though it was a cold and rainy night, the fireplace kept us warm and the yurt stayed dry. The yurt was very spacious. The things on the inside were very cool: a zodiac poster and chimes with a mallet. A very peaceful spot. And new gravel made the driveway easy to back out of! Thanks!

We had a fantastic time! My partner and I stayed in the yurt to celebrate my birthday. The yurt was clean and private. The wood stove kept us super toasty and the mattress was comfortable. The property has a handy outdoor kitchen and dining area. We also took the farm tour and got to hang out with the baby sheep and rabbits. We also made use of the sauna which was the perfect contrast to the rainy spring weather. The property is stunning and incredibly serene, there are tons more f trails to explore. We left feeling rejuvenated. Den and Max were both incredibly friendly and made our stay easy and enjoyable. We can’t wait to go back!!

We spent New Years here. Such a beautiful property. Max the shepherd saved us several times over, including towing our car out of muddy trenches. The sheep were friendly, and Elfsa the barn cat was even friendlier. The yurt was spacious and the wood stove put our firemaking skills to the test. The sauna was lovely and the outdoor shower was superb. Can't wait to return in the summer!

Epic dragon maple creek campground
This place is really beautiful. The hosts were great and it felt very private as no one was staying in the yurt when I was there in my van. Tons of places to wander around and some really beautiful trails.
I went during December so it was definitely muddy where I parked and I got stuck. However, they did warn me that it had been pretty muddy so if you have a heavy vehicle without all wheel drive, you might get stuck. But Max was amazing and helped me out of the mud!
Can’t wait to check this place out in the summer as well. It’s magical.

The yurt was well-kept. The area is quiet and relatively secluded, a perfect place to retreat to. To get all the way to the yurt you definitely need AWD. Otherwise, it's about a 150ft walk.
The stove heats the yurt adequately even in winter, just prepare to use about 2 boxes of firewood each day/night.
The mattress was comfortable. It's a bit bigger than a standard single, which was nice, but double sized sheets might fit better.
There is a nice trail to walk on the property, and the gravel road is also good for a stroll. This was a perfect place to escape to for a few days to relax and reset. I would absolutely come back for another retreat.

A dreamlike stay at Elkenmist: Hearing the sounds of the creek, watching it stream by out the window of the yurt. Building warm fires in the wood stove. The most delicious, tranquil sauna. A farm on the precipice of a glorious forest with ancient alders, beavers, deer, elk, frogs, and more. Hosted by the most delightful people!
