Amazing place. Gorgeous. So peaceful, friendly hosts, far enough from the house that I felt like I was in the forest and had privacy but close enough that it wasn’t too long of a walk to the basement studio where your kitchen, bathroom, sitting room is. On 100+ degree daytime temps the studio stays very cool and comfy, though the yurt does get a bit hot as would be expected. However, it didn’t get as hot as I was worried it might and I was able to work comfortably in the yurt all day even on a 100 degree day with the fans running and a cool towel on my shoulders. The trees shield the yurt from direct sunlight. I expressed my concerns about the heat to my hosts before I arrived and they were very kind and communicative about how it is generally 10 degrees cooler at their place than Portland high temps because it is literally on the edge of the forest, and is higher elevation and away from the heat island of the city. They let me know the studio would stay cool, that the yurt should definitely cool off by the nighttime, and they even offered a portable AC unit should the yurt be too hot to sleep in (which I didn’t need)! This place and its stewards are amazing and I will absolutely be staying again.
