Our old growth temperate rain forest homestead begins the wild and uncut wilderness that extends 40 miles to the Canadian boarder and beyond just as far. Before us it was part of Cascadian Farm (the organic food brand which still operates a lovely ice cream, esspresso, and berry stand adjacent to us), and before that it was one of the first farms this deep into the Cascade Range supplying food for the crews building the dams. We offer both a yurt and tree house. You will be on our small farm/homestead that is backed up to the Mount Baker National Forest with undisturbed forest all north all the way to the Canadian border to the north, Baker lake to the north west, and to the North Cascades National park to the North east. The Skagit River flows to the south of us. If you like freezing cold glacier water, we'll provide you with a map where you can walk down to the river to cool off at a safe swimming hole. Guests love staying here "Such a glorious and relaxed stay. The yurt really was a palace, it was so spacious and had many thoughtful amenities. We hiked on the mountain, forded a river and played with Hiland cows, all within walking distance of the yurt. I was worried that it would be cold but we were toasty and were even able to cook full course meals. Terry and Erin were the perfect hosts, responsive and yet non-instrusive. Thank you so much for letting us have this experience!"This 30 foot diameter yurt has over 700 square feet of space, a mini kitchen, wood stove, table and chairs, a couch, and a mini library with books, magazines, and games. Three 'bedrooms', two with double beds and one with a single including a roll out trundle bed. Including the couch it sleeps seven; bring sleeping pads and the sky's the limit!

The yurt experience offers a cozy and rustic charm that many visitors find appealing. Guests appreciate the comfort provided by amenities like electric heaters and wood-burning stoves, which keep the space warm even when the weather is less than ideal. The setting is peaceful and offers beautiful mountain views, with opportunities for engaging with nature through activities like hiking and farm visits. However, some guests have noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance, particularly related to the yurt's condition and surrounding environment.

Basecamp for River Rafting

Group trip

We very much enjoyed our 2 night stay inside the yurt! There were 3 couples in our group. Two couples used the queen bed and full bed while the other brought their camping bed and slept on the floor. (The twin bed was just a bit too small for them.) We kept the yurt warm at night with the wood burning stove and the wood that the hosts provided. One of our friends was able to use the gas stove to make broccoli cheese soup for the group. The outhouse was clean with hot running water to wash our hands in. They also provided a hot shower next to the outhouse but our group did not utilize it. We chose the yurt as our base while we rafted the Sauk River. The property had parking for our truck and trailer and another car. During our stay we chatted with other hipcampers and a family that stays on the property. We were able to get up and close with sheep as well. We highly recommend staying here! You don't regret it!

Perfect for families-kids too!

With kids

We had such a great time staying at this yurt camp! We came with kids and weren’t sure what to expect, but everything was honestly perfect. The beds were super warm and comfy (huge bonus with kids), and the fire kept the whole space cozy at night. We had access to hot water, a clean compost toilet, and everything we needed in the kitchen—pants and utensils. There was a full propane stove, fresh water, and electricity, plus extra blankets, heated blankets, a heater, fan, lights. It was rainy during our stay, but it ended up being the best kind of camping: dry, cozy, and peaceful inside the yurt while still being surrounded by nature. It was super quiet and peaceful the whole time, which made it so relaxing. We forgot our French press and coffee filters (oops), but made it work with paper towels and still managed to enjoy our morning coffee! The urinal we saw in a few of the photos was actually gone, but it worked out better for us without it anyway. The location is also perfect—really close to some amazing state and national parks, so we got to explore, hike, and spend quality time outdoors as a family. Back at the yurt, there were tons of board games, puzzles, and books, which made downtime really fun and chill, especially with the kids. Everything was well maintained, super clean, and just felt really thoughtful. The hosts were great and made sure we had everything we needed. It was the perfect mix of rustic and comf

With kids

We had a great time staying in the Yurt Palace. My husband and I traveled with four of our children age 12-18 and the Yurt had plenty of space for all of us to eat, sleep and hangout. The property was nice and expansive and was great for some flashlight hide and seek. The rope swing gave our kids hours of entertainment and the treehouse was really cool. The onsite host was very responsive and helpful making sure we had everything we needed. The wood stove kept the Yurt very warm and there were plenty of blankets. We would definitely stay here again!!

Cozy and Spacious

With kids

The Yurt was basic without running water and you needed to walk a bit to get to the toilets on the other side of camp, but we found it relatively clean and cozy. We spent two nights there. It got a little cold as the space heaters couldn't quite keep up at night. But there was a stove for a fire that could have been used to keep the place warmer if you wanted to get up periodically at night to tend it. There was coffee, which we appreciated, and games and puzzles that the kids enjoyed. Definitely a big step up from tent camping! We would stay again if we were in the area. Thank you for your stay!

Camping with an upgrade!

With kids

Beautiful location. Everything you need and more for a great glamping experience. Unexpected addition of a hot shower was a nice bonus! Not far to drive to Lake Diablo and the North Cascades National Park Visitor Centre with plenty of trails. The accommodation is 'rough & ready' so as the hosts say, if you want a hotel finish, this is not the right place for you. If you want camping with a comfy bed, kitchen and all the amenities including fridge/freezer and toaster, then this is perfect! We were only here one night but wished we could have stayed longer.
