Glamping at it's finest!
Fall asleep to the sound of a rushing creek in this charming and secluded yurt.
Enjoy outdoor dining next to a seasonal waterfall, and watch butterflies and hummingbirds in our wildflower garden during the summer.
Winter guests will experience a cozy fire in the pellet stove, and our year-round creek.
If our chickens are feeling generous, you may find some farm fresh eggs waiting for you in the kitchen, and there will always be a complimentary bar of handmade soap in the bathroom.

Welcome to Moonshine Meadows, a quiet off-grid retreat tucked into a beautiful canyon near Jarbidge, Nevada.
Escape the crowds and reconnect with nature in a peaceful meadow setting surrounded by rugged mountains, open skies, and the sounds of the nearby creek. Guests can enjoy dark night skies, stargazing, wildlife viewing, and easy access to trailheads and some of the most scenic backcountry in northeastern Nevada.
The structure camping is a rustic glamping experience designed for those seeking simplicity, relaxation, and adventure. The site includes a furnished canvas tent with a comfortable queen bed, outdoor seating, a fire pit, and access to shared camp amenities.

There are 10+ tent sites available throughout the meadow.

Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway, a basecamp for outdoor adventures, or a place to unplug, Moonshine Meadows offers a unique nature experience unlike anywhere else.
Guests should be prepared for a remote, off-grid setting with limited services and variable road conditions depending on the season.
Come experience the peace, stars, and wide-open spaces of Moonshine Meadows!

The yurt is well built, spacious and cozy at the same time. The mattresses were so comfy. The full kitchen and roomy bathroom were amazing! The land is beautiful, and I loved listening to the creek and waterfall.

Our second time staying here at this cute yurt, and it did not disappoint! The flowers were in bloom & there is a new fire pit. Such a lovely experience! This is our go-to stop for our long journey half-way point. Thanks again!

This yurt was the cutest and coziest place ever! Most houses in the neighborhood have friendly, curious animals like cows, pigs, horses, and chickens that made our stay feel so inviting. There's a stream that runs near the property, just close enough to offer a pleasant sound while relaxing at the outdoor fire pit.
Inside, there are plenty of amenities even considering it's compact size. A full kitchen, full bathroom, a couch with a TV and plenty of board games, and a roomy bedroom with a comfy bed!
The hosts were friendly, and the site was easy to find while still tucked away just enough to feel very private. Overall my husband and I had a wonderful stay, it was the highlight of our honeymoon roadtrip!

I loved this yurt! It was secluded in a group of trees right next to a creek. They gave us pancake mix for breakfast and just let us enjoy our time.

we stayed here for the second time in about 10 days (on each end of our xmas road trip). joshua was a wonderful host. he made sure everything was ready for us, the lights were on and pellet stove was on so it was nice and warm when we arrived. the first time we stayed, we arrived on xmas night and there was event a little xmas tree out front lit up which was a cute touch and the kids enjoyed it, even though we were all tired by the time we got there. there was plenty of room for our family. the yurt is pretty spacious and very clean and modern. the kids enjoyed the tiered bunkbed and hot coco in the keurig. we had everything we needed to make food and enjoy respite on our journey. joshua is a very thoughtful and responsive host. we will definitely stay here again when we pass through the area.

This is a lovely, clean, modern yurt in the country. We really enjoyed staying here one night on our road trip. The dogs in the area were barking throughout the night, so we did have to use the earplugs provided (thank you!). I will probably use a noise machine next time. Other than that, this place is fabulous and the hosts are very thoughtful and kind.

I loved everything about our stay! This is a lovely and welcoming space. Joshua was a great communicator and very responsive. My son liked meeting Shy Girl, the outdoor cat who welcomed us as we pulled in! I hope to pass this way again for another visit!

Joshua's yurt was a lovely place to stay on our roadtrip! He had the pellet stove going for us when we got there, so it was nice and cozy. I wish we could have stayed longer; it's a great, comfy space, on a quiet property. Thanks Joshua!
