Yes, we really do live on Lovers Lane, where the wildflowers bloom each year! There's room for frisbee and to enjoy the peacefulness of our yard. It's pretty quiet here in the oak forest, but we're close to so many great places - Portland, ocean, rivers, trails, and mountains.

Gorham has become a mountain biking destination and we've got some great trails outside your door!

We welcome all people here and strive to hold an inclusive and safe environment.

The space
This 20’ yurt first lived on Cow Island, where Rippleffect campers used to stay. It's a basic set up: Bed, table and chairs, rocker and comfortable chair, "kitchenette". The door locks and has a key. We recently installed a beautiful, new wood stove and it’s toasty warm and cozy in the winter months!

This is not an ultra-fancy glamping yurt, but a comfortable, clean, spacious, lovely, private, and convenient place to stay with all the basic amenities you'll need. There’s a basic kitchenette with one induction burner. We do have a cooler with ice to keep any food you bring cold, as well as hot coffee and tea (with cream, sugar, and honey) so that you can start your mornings slowly. You'll also find paper plates, napkins, utensils, knives, a cutting board, bottle/wine opener, and salt and pepper.

The bed is a queen-sized natural, latex mattress that is medium firmness. We provide nice, cotton sheets, blankets, and down pillows for a comfy sleep.

Wood for a fire is provided and extra camp wood is available for purchase: $4/crate

We provide a 3 gal. jug with potable water in the yurt. Please bring water bottles to fill.

The composting toilet (“The Hopper”) is in a separate building, a short walk from the yurt.

We offer a 2 gallon solar shower bag for our private, outdoor shower (and towels) for getting refreshed. We also provide biodegradable shampoo/conditioner and soap. We can't guarantee that the sun will heat the bag to your liking. You're welcome to add some hot water from the kettle to warm it up a bit.

For hotter days, there’s a big fan to help circulate air (there are two screened windows, the screen door, and the top cracks open.

If it's wet outside...you'll stay dry : )

Guest access
Guests are welcome to use the yurt, the yard in proximity to the yurt, their own fire pit, and access to the trail system (paper map will be provided).

Other things to note
We are in the process of building a treehouse that will also be potentially rented this summer at times. It's about 500' from the yurt, through the woods, and there's no visual line between the two.

The yurt is about a 350’ walk from parking. We’ll leave a garden cart for your use.

Ground can be uneven, so wear appropriate footwear. We have some solar lights to guide your way, but please bring a flashlight or headlamp for navigating in the dark. We keep exterior lights off to keep stargazing conditions at their best.
