Pastoral Bliss / Urban Accessibility : Found this place for a recent writing retreat which turned out to be a very special stay.

The actual yurt itself is gorgeous, stylish and has everything any reasonable human would need. Typical day : wake up early, chop my wood for the night, put on some coffee, go for a hike, luxurious outdoor shower, lunch at one of the multitude of mind-blowing taco carts, retreat into reading/writing, pop downtown (5 min) for dinner at some of the best dining and nightlife in the city. It's also a short hop to my favorite neighborhoods in LA (Echo Park, Silverlake, Los Feliz, Atwater Village).

This is a unique and magical place. Whether you're looking for spiritual isolation or a quick weekend away from it all, the yurt is the word. Carrick is an amazing fellow who was insanely attentive to any and all of my (very few) needs. Everything has been thought out, down to the last detail here. By the end I was kinda itching to move in.

If you're the type who needs room service and enjoys berating underpaid hotel staff, well, I'm not sure what you're doing cruising a yurt but this place is likely not for you (and you should stop doing that). That being said, it is far from roughing it. The sound system is amazing, wi-fi is blazing, there's indoor plumbing and all the creature comforts any reasonable human could possibly need. Great for a couple or one solo dude on a spirit quest (this guy).

If you're looking for a unique LA adventure that blends the natural escapism of the city while staying a heartbeat away from the pulse of urban life, then this is your jam.

Will definitely be back sooner than later.

All hail Yurt Life!
