Oakhurst, California
Located near Yosemite National Parks southern gate in the foothills of the
Sierra Nevada mountain range says it all. 5 acres are home to a wide
assortment of wildlife as a seasonal creeks supplies wildflowers with
life into the warm summer nights. Birds will awake you with there songs in
the morning as raccoons will bid you goodnight from there perch on the tree limb. Deer and wild turkeys also can be spotted in the dawn and dusk hours of the day.
There are a multitude of trails inside and outside of the park to enjoy.
We have a wonderful Visitor Center in Oakhurst with many resources as well as have personal knowledge of favorite off the grid spots to discover
with less crowds as you may find in Yosemite Valley, though nothing does
compare to the awesomeness of that place, truly magnificent!
We created a very beautiful space which is truly unique yet very comfortable.
A 20 foot yurt with insulation, wood doors and dual pane windows help control the climate and noise unlike traditional yurts, so in other words, its fancy! It is
designed to fulfill the glamping nature connections we seek when in the mountains! Beautiful wood plank floors and art to see! If there is anyway you happen to get an itch to know what is going on in the world, yes, we do have internet, but decided that a TV was not a necessary element in our space with all the streaming devices we have become so dependent on!
Turn them off and relax!
We also have nice local lakes with fishing and water sports available. Picturesque
rivers and streams to take refreshing dips with the summer heat.
All said, we really are confident that you will have a relaxing time with plenty of adventure
to find you that is what you are after! Yosemite Shuteye is a nice place!
Happy Travels,
Helene and Timothy
Wow! Just Wow! Helene and Timothy are consummate hosts. They walk you through your space efficiently. They give you space and yet are close enough if you need them. It was fun to visit with them and learn about how they came to build the yurt and tipi. They are artists and master craftsmen. Their talents bring together a beautifully built and decorated vacation spot. No detail goes undone. Extremely clean inside and out. Even with so much outside living spaces and you don’t see a spiderweb any where. My goal was to check off a yurt on my bucket list only to now add a tipi to my bucket list. We will be back. Thank you Helene and Timothy, and of course, we can’t forget Bru too! This is close enough to Yosemite; and yet, far enough away for peace and quiet, and to have your own wild life experience.
Absolutely amazing, comfortable, unique, personal touches, romantic, beautiful inside and out. Highly recommend!
The Yurt was just beautiful and had everything we needed! Helene thought of every last detail and was a great host! I highly recommend this property! It’s close to Yosemite and very quiet and peaceful.
We loved the yurt! It was such an amazing getaway from our usual day-to-day suburb life and gave us a reset. We made full use of the attached kitchen during our stay and even had some animal friends join us for breakfast like a couple of hummingbirds and deer! Reading a book in the hammock, surrounded by just the sounds of nature was one of the highlights of the yurt. So simple, but so necessary in our busy lives. There were so many amenities to give us all the creature comforts we are used to while still letting us feel connected to the outdoors!
What a quiet and beautiful place! Wish we had more time there. Would definitely book again
Lovely yurt style dwelling with a separate kitchen/bath and an open deck area. Loved our two nights stay and plan to return ASAP
We had a wonderful 4 night stay. As beautiful as the pictures look, they truly do not do this property justice. The wood floors in the yurt, the outdoor cooking area and bar to eat and watch the deer and hummingbirds. It is truly a tranquil retreat and perfect place to disconnect a bit, but wifi is available so we were able to keep in touch with our kiddos. I am back two days and my partner and I keep commenting about how much we miss yurt life. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
This was an amazing experience for my boyfriend and I. It takes you away from the city and let’s you appreciate nature. The yurt is beautiful and super cozy. I only have good things to say about this place!
This property was super romantic, and there was so much to see just sitting around on the porch watching nature! It was not far at all from the park, which was a bonus, and they had everything that we needed to cook. I am not one who usually wants to go back to a place I’ve already been, but I will absolutely stay here again. Their hospitality was unbelievable and they are great people!! I highly recommend for anyone looking for a romantic getaway with hikes nearby.
This was our first time staying in a yurt and it was amazing! We got a lot of rain, but it just added to the experience. No sound machine needed while it is raining in a yurt! Fantastic property and the owners thought of everything.
We came to celebrate my bf’s birthday and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Helene, Timothy, and Bru were very welcoming and happily helped us with all of our questions regarding car chains and whatnot. The place itself is beyond beautiful. Of course knowing that you would have to walk outside in the cold to get to the restroom/kitchen is all part of the experience. We appreciated how everything was placed/done very intentionally, and enjoyed our stay here tremendously. We even received tons of questions from our friends regarding this location due to the uniqueness of it! Thank you again for the perfect little getaway!
This was a great experience. Timothy and Helene were terrific hosts and amazing communicators. While I agree the yurt can be considered sexy and romantic (although not for me, as I was there with my kids...), the bathroom definitely wasn't. The bathroom was a little off-putting. The toilet is a self-flushing unit, and while I don't want to give the impression it wasn't clean, just smelled a bit, and we needed to keep the bathroom door shut because of it. The shower was very small, but the water pressure was great. Just not built for two (if you're going for sexy and romantic). Again, overall we loved it, and appreciated the hospitality.
