Joerten in Sierra Nevada

Great stay in a camping environment. Look forward to going back.

This is my second time staying at May's place and it is exactly as I remember it, breathtaking upon entrance. This time I brought my partner and she was blown away by the incredible experience. Most notably, sipping champagne in the spa, surrounded by trees, a rushing creek, singing birds, and the sun's rays painting the forest on the hill opposite us. Truly can't be beat.

It was perfect for my needs with my dog. Very close to my relatives home, and a nice place to enjoy the evening after my days activities.

Really enjoyable little stay at this yurt. It was cozy and perfect for a solo getaway. The kitchen is very basic, but I managed to cook breakfast and dinner in the space. Word to the wise, if it's any hotter than about 80, the temperature in the yurt is intolerable, but not an issue if you plan to spend the day at the river. Thanks, David!

We loved our stay! The yurt was a unique experience and the whole setting was calm, quiet and peaceful. We also found it to be a great base to explore the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. Spencer was a great host and made us feel instantly at home.

Its a great place to stay in if you’re visiting the Kings Canyon National Park and Sequoia National Park. We had a nice and comfortable stay.

Perfect stay we will be returning each time we have a camping trip. Bathroom was extremely clean and the host was absolutely amazing.

Stayed in one of the Yurt campsites at the Desolation Hotel. Very cozy atmosphere and stunning views. We brought two large dogs with us and it was very easy to sleep everyone in the Yurt. Our Yurt did not have a shower or bathroom inside of it (some on site do), but there was a bathhouse in walking distance with hot showers. Lots of places to walk the dogs with river access for them to play. We also drove to Caples Lake for the day which was only 15 min down the road. Two different restaurants to choose from at the Desolation Hotel… We did not get a chance to try the Bar/grill, but we did eat at the Sorensen’s Cafe. Very pricy, but food and drinks were very good! Overall would recommend staying here and we will be coming back again.

A Glamping Experience Like No Other! Four ladies from Australia recently had the pleasure of staying at this unique accommodation location in a Yurt, and I can confidently say it exceeded all my expectations! Nestled in a beautiful, serene valley, it offered a peaceful end to a busy day. First and foremost, the tents themselves were fantastic. Simple yet spacious, providing a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The standout feature for me was the mattress—absolutely heavenly! After four weeks of touring America this is the best sleep any of us had had! Surrounded by nature, I enjoyed the sights and sounds of the outdoors, and the stargazing was perfect with no light pollution as we were deep in the countryside. Our host, Spencer was incredibly friendly and entertaining! He ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you're looking for a unique accommodation experience that combines comfort with the beauty of nature, I highly recommend the Yurt experience.

We had a great night and stay overall. Bathrooms were a walk away with warm water for a nice shower. Scenery was amazing. I’d definitely stay here again.

Instructions to arrive were perfect and clear. We loved staying in this beautiful yurt. It was clean, super spacious, and cozy. It also has a really nice area outside to eat and hang out (bring bug spray). It has a full kitchen, with everything you will need to prepare a meal. We liked the rustic outdoors shower, but it needs some fixing. Our favorite part was the lake. It was beautiful, and you can use their kayaks and paddle boards. To access the lake by car, you will need a 4x4 as is clearly instructed in the house manual. My husband decided to ignore this, and drove our van down the lake, well we got super stuck. Thanks to Ben who had to push us up hill and we finally made it, but please don’t be us, believe me it may seem easy but you will need a 4x4. Thank you Chazlynn and Ben for sharing your piece of paradise with us, hope to come back again.

This place is absolutely stunning. They have nice beaches right on the property. So many amenities. They have shared bathroom & showers even a place to wash dishes. The view was spectacular. Lots of restaurants near by and close to the old mining town. Love watching the rafters drift by. Mike and Bonnie are amazing hosts. They even have ice on site for purchase. We will be back!

Peaceful getaway, just like the pictures!! Dog friendly and tons of fun enjoying the outdoors. Super close to charming towns with breweries & wineries. We loved our stay!

Tranquil surroundings, safe street, clean and added amenities like coffee and tea. Bed was big & comfortable and super cozy in the yurt. Very friendly pups and hosts. I did yoga on the deck - it was all perfect for what I needed. I will stay again anytime I need to go to the Bay Area.

A gorgeous place! Very peaceful and relaxing. The outdoor shower was sufficiently hot and the jacuzzi was just what I needed after a long day of driving. The land I absolutely stunning, as are the yurts and other structures. I very much appreciated the eco-friendly accommodations and expectations for care, such as trying to limit chemicals to plant-friendly options. Will def be back!

Had such a lovely getaway with my wife and our pup. Tracy was quick to respond when we reached out with questions. The yurt was very comfortable and homey and had everything we needed to unplug and relax. We also loved all the deer, turkeys and goats we saw in the beautiful community surrounding the location. We absolutely want to come back for another stay!

We had an amazing and relaxing time staying at Desolation Hotel in Hope Valley. It was the perfect location for our ski trip to Kirkwood, and the wood fired sauna was an amazing bonus! We will definitely be coming back here in the future!
