Nestled peacefully amongst ancient pine trees, the Be Well Yurt is a sanctum in the wild, beautifully situated alongside historic Strawberry Creek. Gaze up at the stars through the clear dome top, as you're lulled to sleep by sounds of the seasonal bubbling brook below. Enjoy slow mornings on the deck, with views of towering pine & cedar trees. A sanctuary with every comfort you can imagine - a stay at the Be Well Yurt is an unforgettable experience. Tesla level 2 charger free to guests on site.

Enjoy slow mornings, peaceful days, and star-gazing nights in the comfort of our 4-season Wildland "Be Well" Yurt. Designed to stay cool in the summer, and equipped with a powerful heating system to keep you warm throughout winter, we invite you to come back each season for a unique experience.
The Be Well Yurt is part of the Wildland family of retreat spaces. Situated in a private location surrounded by towering pines, the yurt faces the creek - offering beautiful views and maximum privacy. The Wildland Tree House sits on the same property, several yards away (home to your hosts + an additional private guest space). Both the Yurt and the additional guest space have exclusive access to their own designated outdoor areas, along with access to some common/shared spaces throughout the property. You are welcome to book both spaces for groups of up to 6 - please look for our other listing by searching for "Wildland Retreat Space" or messaging us for a link.
A dedicated full bathroom and mudroom for the yurt, with a private entrance, are located on the west side of the Wildland Tree House. Please note - the "mudroom" is a private space we've created for your convenience to remove any muddy shoes/clothes etc, before entering the sanctuary of your full tub/shower bathroom. The walk from your yurt to the private bathroom is less than 30 steps along a solar-lit path. Enjoy an elevated bath experience with mindful, minimalist bath and body offerings courtesy of our local apothecary, Wildland Organics.
We have a deep commitment to eco-friendly, non-toxic, vegan, & upcycled materials - which you will find throughout the space. We use only non-toxic, natural cleaning supplies (plus bleach & organic alcohol throughout Covid pandemic) - 100% cotton sheets, and natural materials throughout the yurt - including a cozy “Buffy” duvet made from recycled plastic bottles.
Directions to hiking trails plus recommended sightseeing, shopping and restaurants can be found on our @wildlandorganics IG story highlights titled "Visit Idyllwild". Special guest-only discounts will be offered at the WILDLAND shop in town throughout the duration of your stay.
With all its comforts, the Yurt is a GLAMPING experience - as in, glamorous camping. The camping aspect includes no air conditioning (but yes, a fan + big windows for cross breeze) and occasional bugs that might find their way into your glorified “tent”. Please come with the mindset that this will be a unique nature immersion experience, coupled with the cushiest of comforts.
A beautiful marriage of both nature and luxury - the Wildland "Be Well" Yurt is an Idyllwild experience you won't soon forget.
