Tranquil hillside yurt and spa in the mountains

This cozy queen suite is nestled within our magical 16-acre retreat near the Yuba River and the Tahoe National Forest. Relax in our private communal spa (clothing-optional), including: a Scandinavian-style cedar sauna with crystal-grid, colloidal silver and UV-filtered hot tub, outdoor baths & showers, a enclosed bathhouse with deep soaking tubs/rain showers, communal kitchen, meditation/yoga temple, and stunning views. Escape the congestion of the city and breathe in the fresh mountain air! The space Walk up a staircase to access this double-insulated yurt, on its own platform overlooking the forest and a year-round, spring-fed creek. The yurt itself is from Living Intention Yurt Co. and is made of an insulated, synthetic canvas. It has electricity, lights, a powerful electric heater & heavy blankets to keep you toasty and warm in winter, and a fan to keep you cool in the summer, as needed. The bed is queen-sized and cozy, made from organic cotton and wool (free of toxic fire retardants). The space also has a Himalayan salt lamp, which emits negative ions and helps neutralize the EMFs from electronics (although these are removed around the winter season). And lastly, this space has a high-quality HEPA air filter for clean fresh air. So this is a perfect place for health-conscious people seeking a nature retreat with a touch of luxury. The room itself is located just up the hill from the spa area, striking a nice balance between privacy and proximity to the amenities. The spa area is SHARED, with the exception of another private guest suite above the sauna and changing room. Below the sauna and changing room are the communal kitchen and bathroom (compost eco-toilet). All guests can access the community kitchen, and the spa deck (including the crystal-grid cedar sauna, outdoor baths, 'chemical-free' hot tub, outdoor showers, and changing room with a filtered water station). The showers and baths are open (i.e., no privacy screening). Our bathhouse is up the hill. Here you will find two indoor deep soaking tubs/rain showers (perfect for couples) and two standard flushing toilets (with bidets). During open-use hours guests have access to the Stardeck and Yurt Temple for practicing yoga, meditation, dance, or whatever else calls to you! We also have little nature trails down to our enchanted creek, and many places to enjoy the magical energies unique to this land. All our products are eco-friendly (soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap, detergent; 100% recycled toilet paper and paper towel), we run our property on solar power, and our buildings are largely green (zero VOC paints, etc.).

Just below the spa deck you will see two small green yurts. Yours will be the one closest to the spa. Next to the green yurts is a large red yurt nestled into a grove of Madrone trees.
