Gaia Yurt | Cedar Hot Tub | 1 hr to Skiing & Mt Rainier

Welcome to Wildfern Grove, our charming, rustic yurt village and intentional community! Unwind in one of five hand painted Mongolian yurts nestled among 40 acres of forest with trails, wildlife, and nature to explore.

The bathroom situation is disgusting. The two compostable toilet stalls (outhouses) were packed to the top with waste - almost so you were sitting on other peoples poo. Why don't they clean them out? Also, the only available water for brushing your teeth is non-potable (meaning - you should not use for brushing your teeth) and the water was freezing cold. In the common area where there is a toilet - quite a hike from the yurt - and used by ALL the residents had one towel for drying your hands and was not changed out for the two nights, three days we were there. The TP ran out and there were no spare rolls anywhere to be found. The common area (music room, bath and kitchen area) STUNK! No fresh air at all. The bed was decent but the sheets were some cheap polyester blend. They also want you to strip the bed and duvet but charge you $25 plus a $20 fee. I think the hosts change sites to dodge bad reviews like mine - no way, there are 11 positive reviews and only 11 since they've been in business for over 3 years. Go elsewhere is my recommendation.

When you drive in, its surrounded by ferns and native plants that make it feel very welcoming
We arrived at 3, the instructions were very transparent and we found our yurt right away. We had dinner in the shared kitchen as we arrived and found everything we needed from buns for burgers, and condiments. I met the host and she was helpful in helping direct me to the kitchen thank you for a peaceful place for us to unwind will definitely book this place when we are up here again!

Community oriented while not forced. If you want to hangout with others it’s a great environment to do so—but if you don’t want to, you don’t have to.

Quiet, Relaxing Getaway
Went to a concert at White River Amphitheater so decided to stay here for the weekend. We had been told that getting out of the white river amphitheater could take hours but we were able to be back to the yurts in 25 minute. I'm not sure if we just got lucky or if it was because most of the other concert goers were going the opposite direction to Seattle. My wife and I really enjoyed our time at Grove Getaways. They have 5 yurts and we stayed at the one furthest from the main house. The main house has the kitchen/bathroom/communal area so we would have to walk a little further to get to those things but still was only a 5-minute walk and it was nice being off by ourselves. It also looks like they are building an outhouse near the further away yurts which will be nice. The yurt was very comfortable and clean. It was a hot weekend (80s) so we were a little worried the yurt would be hot inside but the trees around provide great shade for most of the day and the yurts are insulated so that seemed to help. Hope to stay at the Grove Getaway again!!
