This unique place in Lyle, Washington - part of the Columbia River Gorge scenic area - is magical and utterly beautiful. The property is set in a magnificent meadow as far as the eye can see with soft rolling hills, edged up to a deep oak woodland/ponderosa pine forest. Wildlife, stars, trails, and rivers all abound here. We think it is one of the finest, most precious and beautiful places on the planet. For outdoor recreation, this area is a windsurfing and kiteboarding mecca. Mount Adams and Mount Hood, await hikers and skiers, and kayaking is popular on the Klickitat and White Salmon Rivers. Heart-stopping beauty and peacefulness whichever way you turn. You will feel like you have gone to your own little Shangri-La and you will not soon forget the experience. Even sleeping is special here, as you look up into the dome of the yurt and behold the stars, while twinkle lights gently illuminate the interior. We live in a slice of heaven, and we want to share it with others.This unique place in Lyle, Washington - part of the Columbia River Gorge scenic area - is magical and utterly beautiful.

However, you can walk a couple hundred feet into the meadow and find service.

The yurt offers a cozy retreat with breathtaking views, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and stargazing. Guests appreciate the well-stocked amenities and the welcoming atmosphere provided by the hosts. The sunsets, especially from the purple bench, are frequently highlighted as memorable experiences. While most reviews are positive, a few mention minor inconveniences like the presence of spiders and some discomfort with the pull-out beds.
