The Aspen and Juniper Yurts offer a serene retreat with breathtaking mountain views and cozy accommodations, making it a favorite among campers. Guests appreciate the well-maintained yurts, thoughtful amenities, and the peaceful, secluded environment. The outdoor shower is a standout feature, adding to the unique glamping experience. However, potential visitors should be mindful of the winding road and occasional dog barking from nearby properties.

Beautiful location! The Aspen Yurt was so well maintained, and we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful fall experience. Thank you, Ginger, for sharing your homestead with us.
Great set up with beautiful views and private space. We had some rain and the yurt held up great with no issues. The hot shower was incredible after a day of hiking. Comfortable stay and responsive and helpful host! We would love to return if we are back in the area again!
This was a great site. Very private and had everything we needed for a 5 day stay. Loved the outdoor shower. Great views and star gazing. Centrally located to a ton of activities. Loved Basalt.

The tiny house was lovely! Very cute decor and a stunning view! I agree with previous recommendations of bringing fans and eye masks as it gets direct sun light all day. It cools off nicely at night but is quite warm during the day time. The drive up is definitely winding and some dirt road up closer to the homestead so keep this in mind depending on your vehicle and comfort driving in those conditions. It’s totally worth the drive up!
We were charmed with Lily's Tiny House. It is clever and incredibly well built. All amenities are present in a compact and efficient space AND you do not feel cramped. The expansive mountain views from the deck are amazing and Ginger was prompt, friendly, and accurate. We ordered fresh organic eggs from her (yum!) and were pleased to be able to meet her.
One thought is that we wish that there were not so many fees and taxes, which made it a bit of a budget stretch for us....
We had a terrific time and highly recommend Lily's!
Ginger’s place was excellent and even better than the pictures showed! The views were incredible and the inside was bigger than expected. I loved the outdoor shower. The bathroom situation is unique- I’ve never used a dry toilet before. The stars at night were super bright. Definitely recommend screenshotting her instructions on how to get to the property once you lose cell service but the instructions are very accurate. I purchased one of the hand made cards to send home which was a nice touch. The location is really close to Basalt but you feel like you’re the only one on the mountain. We used it as home base to go between Aspen and Carbondale. Would love to visit again.
My family adored the Aspen Yurt. We had to change camping plans last minute due to an injury, and once we found this location, we were sold. Our vacation was not canceled, just happily adapted. Aspen Yurt was everything we wanted, and it was so beautiful. Roomy enough for a grown family of 4. The outdoor freshwater tub was a hit, along with the beautiful outdoor shower. Great memories were made.

Juniper Yurt
Incredible stay at the Juniper yurt! The view is surreal, drive to town is short, and the gas stove at night made it a perfect stay with our 9 month old. The bed is comfortable, and our baby loved rolling around on a blanket in the grassy area outside. We will absolutely be back. Ginger is a great host and made the whole experience seamless!
Absolutely stunning views! Well equipped and away from the hustle & bustle while being close to so much. Would recommend bringing a fan and eye mask during the summer. The sun bakes the place in afternoon and the early morning sun is a lot if you’re trying to sleep past 7.

Beautiful yurt with a great porch and great view! The solar setup worked perfectly for running the small mini fridge and charging devices. Kitchen was well-appointed, bed was comfortable. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing stay and the views are stunning. It’s extremely private and relaxing. The yurt very clean and inviting. The outdoor shower was definitely the best part. Its the perfect getaway from the city.
I definitely recommend 4WD as the road up to yurt is gravel at a moderate incline.
Juniper Yurt is a once in a lifetime place to stay. This is my 2nd time staying here and I hope it won't be the last. It is so remote and peaceful and beautiful. Everything you need and more comes with the yurt, inc a gorgeous outdoor shower. Even though remote, you can be down in the town in just a short drive or hours walk so you are not totally disconnected should you need. Ginger was so great at communicating with us and made us feel very welcome, we knew we could message at any time if we needed anything. I would recommend for anyone to stay here!

Beautiful views, comfortable accommodations, and hot water🤣. Close enough to town to get what you forgot and far enough away to forget it’s there.

Juniper Yurt
This was a beautiful place to stay. Everything you need is there. Blankets, cookware, etc. if you’re nervous about mountain driving this may not be the place for you as the road up is very narrow and windy!
Juniper is the perfect little getaway with just enough amenities to make it feel like luxury camping! Having an ample amount of fresh water and a power source to charge devices was really nice (note: if you have a USB-C device, be sure to bring a USB cable or adapter). Ginger was a very thoughtful host and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!
What an incredible view. We had so much fun driving the twisting roads to get to the yurt after days filled with hiking and biking. The cool mornings and evenings were perfect for a coffee or glass of wine with stunning mountain views. We appreciated the thoughtful touches, like cute robes and local honey in the cupboard, which was especially nice given our allergies.

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.

This place was great. Amazing views! Easy access to Basalt and Aspen. Bed was comfy and the outdoor shower was fun. Beautiful stargazing too. We really enjoyed our stay!
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!
I had a great time at the yurt! It was peaceful and had all the amenities that was needed to have a comfortable stay. Will definitely be coming 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.
