Welcome to our community and charming rustic yurt village! Unwind in one of five artisan handcrafted and painted yurts that's nestled among 40 acres of forest with trails, wildlife, and nature to explore. Relax in our shared 7’ cedar hot tub and watch the sun set over our serene and picturesque property.
This listing is our 18' Gaia Yurt that honors the plants and animals we share this land with. You are invited to bask in nature and the beauty that surrounds you at The Grove.
A short walk from the yurt brings you to the community space with 24 hour access to a kitchen, full bathroom, dining table and a comfy area to lounge with musical instruments. Other amenities include a weight training gym, martial arts and movement space (inside the 4-car garage); two open, shared outdoor showers; a pool (summer only); a large patio; and grassy open space and a hammock.
In our community we create a beautiful, fun, and relaxing environment for our visitors, friends and community members that is alive with activity. Each time you visit, whether to stay in a yurt, camp or join us for an event being hosted here, we’re excited to show you all the ways we’re transforming the spaces and restoring the forest to its native habitat. We’re building our vision of an intentional community that is inclusive and inviting to all. You’ll find a peaceful oasis and, if you want, opportunities to connect with others in a rejuvenating, playful, and laid back environment.
Self check-in, 24 hours access. The gate code comes with the address closer to arrival as well as the codes to unlock your accommodations.
The owners live on-site in the upper floors of the geodesic dome house. At least one of us will be on-site to share our story, answer questions, or help you out. Curious about how this came to be? We invite you to get our attention and ask about all that we are creating. We love connecting with our guests and sharing our passion projects.
We are conveniently 10 minutes from Bonney Lake, 15 minutes from Lake Tapps, and one hour from Mt Rainier’s Visitors Center and once you are on the property it feels like you’ve been transported into the country.
Things to note! :)
* The gravel driveway is easy to navigate but during periods of heavy snow and ice, AWD is recommended and chains may be required, especially for 2WD vehicles.
* There's no electricity in the yurt itself, but there's plenty of places to charge a phone or device in the community spaces. The yurt is kept warm by a CO2 safe propane heater.
* The hot tub is clothing optional: There is one shared cedar hot tub and please note that the hot tub is a clothing optional area - this only applies to folks actually in or next to the tub on the deck, not the property at large. In the two plus years we’ve been doing this folks have been great - either wear a suit or not based on your comfort level. We reserve the right to ask anyone to leave if they behave inappropriately.
Park to the right of the driveway, across from the yurt in designated parking areas. Please do not park on the grass or dirt on the left in between the yurts.
The gravel driveway is about ¾ mile long and it’s one way. There are two gravel pull outs for passing oncoming cars. Please drive slowly.
*Quiet hours on the property are from 10p-8a
*Smoking allowed outside but NOT w/in 10ft of any structures (throw your butts in the nearby trash cans)
*All pets must be on leash at all times (please clean up after them)
*Extra guests are allowed (for an event for example) but must be pre-approved by the hosts (just shoot us a message and let us know what you're planning)
*We reserve the right to require any unapproved or disruptive guests to leave
