About this property

Secluded Off Grid Mountain Yurt with Power and Starlink

Surround yourself with nature on nearly 45 acres of secluded mountain land a mile above the South Fork of the Payette River between Banks and Crouch. This private yurt offers a true off grid mountain experience with electricity, Starlink internet, heat, AC, propane cooking and a wood stove for cozy nights.

This is not a neighborhood or resort setting. This is real mountain wilderness. If you are looking for a Terrace Lakes style community experience, this is not it. If you are looking for quiet, privacy, stars, wildlife and adventure, you’re in the right place.

Sleeping arrangements comfortably accommodate up to five guests with one bunk bed and a futon. Bring your own bedding and pillows based on the season. We recommend zero degree sleeping bags in winter and lightweight bedding in summer. Towels are not provided.

There is no running water and no shower. We provide fresh five gallon drinking water jugs and a clean private porta potty. There is a sink inside for washing dishes.

The yurt is heated and cooled with a mini split system. We do not provide firewood for the wood stove or firepit. Firewood can be purchased locally in Crouch or Garden Valley. There is interior lighting but no exterior lighting, so bring headlamps or flashlights for nighttime use.

Cooking amenities include a two burner propane stove with cast iron griddle, a private deck with propane grill, and a fully stocked cooking setup including dishes, utensils, spices and olive oil.

The yurt is accessed by a short walk from the parking area and terrain may be uneven, muddy, snowy or icy depending on weather. In winter, AWD or 4WD with winter tires or chains is required.

We live on the property but respect your privacy completely. You will not see us unless you request assistance.

This stay is perfect for hikers, snowshoers, hunters, anglers, skiers, rafters, kayakers, off roaders and guests who want a true wilderness experience with modern comforts.

The yurt and its surroundings was absolutely beautiful! It came equipped with lots of extras – definitely a fun “glamping” experience! We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

We had a great time, exactly like the pictures. I look forward to staying here again.

I wish I booked 2 or 3 nights. We went to the Starlight Theater and walked to our yurt with headlamps. The kids thought this was a wonderful adventure.

Fantastic directions to the yurt. Clean, roomy, and cute. Enough room to set up play pen for my 2 year old to sleep in wothout feeling crowded. Located exactly as described, did not see another soul while we were there.

Great stay! Beautiful inside the yurt and very cozy. They had the a.c. running before we arrived which was great as the temp that day was 90 degrees. The yurt stayed nice and cool. We only stayed 1 night but would have loved to stay longer. The walk up to the yurt from parking area #1 is steep but not too long. My kids and I were able to walk it in sandals and crocs. Communication with hosts was great and they even went beyond when helping to coordinate meeting up after my stay to provide me with a forgotten item.

A Perfect Little Getaway

I have never stayed in a yurt before and was really shocked at how amazing this place was. The Yurt had many amenities such as AC, Kurig, Stove and a refrigerator. The beds were super comfy and the entire yurt was lovely and clean. The walk from the parking space to the yurt was minimal and the porta potty was very clean, possibly the cleanest that i have ever seen. The area had so many beautiful hikes near by. I hope to visit again!!

This was a last minute decision to go here since my family was planning on camping in a tent. It was too hot for camp tenting. This place was great! The A/C was a huge bonus for the summer temps and made our stay very enjoyable. Plus with all the amenities included made it even better. Not having running water was fine for us since we normally do 'bird baths' at tent camping sites. Bathroom is a little distance away from the Yurt, but doable for our family standards. The star and satellite gazing at night is great also. We would definitely stay here again. One night went by quick.

Beautiful slice of heaven

The yurt was amazing, the amenities they had were exactly what you'd hope for the room was warm and cozy. I did hurt myself walking firewood back to the pit because I have bad knees and hips and wasn't aware the yurt was positioned between two steep hills lol. I think going forward the only thing the owners could improve on is including in the description the very steep hills around it because some people would opt for something else. Beautiful views and overall such a nice place to get away from everything, thank you for opening your doors to us

Yurt in the mountains

Due to heavy snowing and avalanches in the area, we were unable to reach the yurt, but I still give a good rating because the owners refunded all the money and were understanding of the situation. Hope to try again under better conditions. The road in is steep and narrow!

Responsive and gracious

Through no fault of the owners, our reservation was double booked. When we spoke with them about the situation, they were responsive and gracious. They did everything they could to make things right for us. Despite our stay not going as planned, I would certainly book this yurt again, or any other rentals from these owners. We appreciate their hospitality!

Fun experience

We needed a place to stay so I could attend the Starlight theater. Perfect location. Loved the seclusion. Porta-potty wasn't too far. You have to clean up after yourself and supplies were running low. Paper towels and mop pads. I didn't get responses from emails to the owner.

About the host

Hosted by Kristina Tracy or Wade Burgett

Host profile image
We are from Oregon and Idaho and spend as much time as possible outdoors. Our favorite place in the world is our property in Garden Valley. We love camping, riding our UTVs, gardening, and watching the wildlife and mountains from our porch. Hosting is something we genuinely enjoy, meeting new people, sharing local knowledge, and giving others a chance to experience the same peace and adventure that brought us here.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because it is remote, quiet, and truly feels untouched. We have very few neighbors and often go weeks without seeing anyone. Wildlife is part of daily life here. Foxes test the chickens, hummingbirds fill the air in summer, elk wander through the property, mountain lions pass through at night, wild turkeys roam the land, and the sound of the South Fork of the Payette carries through the canyon during high water. Eddy Creek runs to the west seasonally, and the sunrises and sunsets never fail to impress.

What makes this property unique

This property offers a true off grid mountain experience with comfort and privacy that is becoming harder to find. From the deck of the yurt you have open mountain views and frequent wildlife sightings. The setting delivers the feel of real camping while still providing modern comforts like power, heating, cooling and Starlink internet. The location is remote, quiet and ideal for guests who want a true wilderness retreat rather than a typical neighborhood rental.
