We are Portland locals and were thrilled to find what seems like a world away from where we live to this calm, quiet, special, magical getaway only 20 minutes from our house. I brought my 13 year old son here to Jesse’s yurt for some mom and son time for 2 nights, and we had such an amazing time! You should be in at least somewhat decent shape to walk up the winding path up the hill with all your stuff to the yurt! I got my exercise in! The yurt, itself, is beautifully decorated and has everything you might need. We used the mini fridge, microwave, the propane stove, the pot, the bowls, mugs, silverware, and paper towels and dish cloths, as well as the pretty lights around the yurt that twinkled at night. There is even a sink right in the yurt you can use! The well water is super pure and tastes so much better than regular Portland water! It was quite hot and humid weather, but there were a couple of fans (one could even be used as a mister) that kept it bearable, and the yurt is up on a hill under lots of tall trees, which kept it cool around the outside of the yurt. We sat out on the little yurt deck and played board games and felt the breeze move through the trees while we listened to the animals. (You can hear them make their calls throughout the property). We did see a couple of kind residents who live on the property, but our yurt area felt private and peaceful. My son made friends with Magic the cat, read a book while lying in the hammock next to the yurt, we visited the sweet goats, pigs, donkeys, chickens, turkey, mama bunny with baby bunnies (!), we used the hot tub each night, which was wonderful, and we went on a lovely, easy hike in Powell Butte. At night, little lights light up the pathway to the hot tub and ground lanterns to the bathhouse. I was especially impressed with the bathhouse! The design for it is incredible. It is so roomy, you can walk all around in it. The composting toilet was super cool, the sink is laid with beautiful tile, and the walk-in shower was my favorite part! The water was warm and you could look up at the trees. With the humidity, it was so refreshing to take outdoor showers! We also took advantage of the offering of fresh greens from the garden and fresh eggs from the chickens. Jesse was incredibly easy to communicate with via text. She was very prompt to respond to questions and had a warm and welcoming vibe. My son didn’t want to leave when our 2 days were up and neither did I! I do highly recommend at least a 2-night stay so you can fully appreciate the complete relaxation this place gives you. I would have been so bummed if we had to check out at 11am after checking in at 3pm the day before. It wouldn’t have been enough time! I am so happy that I had already booked a second 2-night visit with my younger son later in August, so I can look forward to coming back soon to share this wonderful place with my other boy. I’d love to come back again and again.
