Nestled high in the Rocky Mountains of southeast Idaho at an elevation of 6500 ft, our yurt has magnificent views of Mt. Bonneville and the surrounding Pebble Creek Basin. Along with a handful of neighbors, within a private property recreational area, we are surrounded by the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, with vehicle access from mid-May through mid-November each year. Pebble Yurt has a 30 ft diameter with a partial loft for a total of 900 ft2 of indoor living space. You will be completely off grid, but with running hot and cold water, solar electricity, and heating and cooling features. We also feature an indoor shower, sink, and composting toilet. Bring your ATV's, mountain bikes, or hiking boots to explore the Pebble Basin. Or take a short drive to Lava Hot Springs for world-class hot pools, water slides, or white water rafting. Fishing in the Portneuf River or Chesterfield Reservoir, exploring the Chesterfield historic town site, or trying out a zipline or go-cart are other local activities. Pebble Yurt was built circa 2010 by a retiring forest service employee to the highest standards. We've used that canvas to create a unique glamping experience for our guests, with the best creature comforts available in a wilderness setting.Powered by solar and propane, this yurt property makes glamping glorious. Secluded enough for rest, relaxation and exploring miles of mountain trails, while enjoying beautiful mountain and valley views. Outdoorsy seclusion when you want it, yet convenient enough to be back in tourist town within 25 minutes where you’ll find river tubing, world class hot springs, swimming, go kart tracks, zip lining and more.

Magical Yurt

Group trip

Best hipcamp ever! I cannot recommend this place enough. Jenn created the most magical space to stay in among the breathtaking surroundings. Not only did the space have absolutely everything we needed, the space was decorated so beautifully and the host was more than generous. I’m planning my next trip back soon. Thank you, Jenn!!!

Perfect Birthday weekend getaway!

Jennifer’s yurt was everything the listing advertised and more. The accommodations were above and beyond what we were expecting. Then to top it off the views were spectacular and plenty of exploring can be done without once getting in our car. Jennifer’s communication was very timely and very very thorough. She send ideas to do in the area a week before our arrival date so we could plan accordingly. She followed that with the very detailed directions so we found the place easily even though we arrived after dark. The yurt itself was so fun and cozy. Jenifer has thought of everything. With a fully stocked kitchen, games and puzzles, and plenty of linens there was nothing we felt we could have added. She even hung a happy birthday garland making us feel that she truly thought about making our stay special. We will definitely be back again. Would love to experience the place in the snow.

It was fun to stay in a yurt. We lived hearing the rain on the yurt ceiling and walls. Jennifer was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay here.

Incredible place!

With pets

So perfect! Was a great launching point but also a destination to hang with friends and family. Everything was laid out as if perfectly planned. Great outdoor area, but amazing inside with all the comforts you’d need, and decorated to a T! We were blown away by both the serenity of the land the and comfort of the home. So happy to have stayed there! BTW - we got there no problem in our Honda odyssey in mid July. Only wish we had more time!
