If you’ve ever dreamed of sleeping under the stars without sacrificing comfort, a yurt might be your perfect getaway. At Columbia Gorge Getaways (CGG), our luxury yurts offer a unique blend of nature and modern convenience—think cozy cabin meets upscale glamping.

Yurts have a long history, originating thousands of years ago among nomadic cultures in Central Asia. But the ones you’ll find at CGG are a far cry from their ancient ancestors. These circular dwellings are fully equipped with everything you’d expect from a high-end vacation rental: full kitchens, stylish bathrooms with rain showers, washer/dryer units, and spacious sleeping areas including lofts and private bedrooms.
What sets a yurt apart from a traditional cabin or tent is the experience. You’ll feel immersed in nature—listening to the creek, watching the trees sway, and breathing in fresh mountain air—while still enjoying the security and comfort of a well-built structure. It’s the best of both worlds.
Weather worries? Not here. Each yurt is fully insulated and features hydronic in-floor heating, heat pumps in the bedroom and living room, and powerful air conditioning units to keep things cool in the summer. Whether it’s snowing or sweltering, you’ll be perfectly comfortable.
Inside, you’ll find high-speed Wi-Fi powered by Starlink, a 64” TV, plush furniture, and a wraparound deck with creek side views. The kitchen comes stocked with high-end appliances, pots, pans, utensils, and a refrigerator with a freezer and automatic ice maker. You can cook to your heart’s content or head into Carson, Washington—just five minutes away—for groceries or a bite to eat.

Sleeping arrangements vary depending on the yurt. WyEast and Tahoma feature two queen beds, while Pahto and Loowit offer one queen and two twin beds. All bedding is provided, including foam and feather pillows, so there’s no need to pack sleeping bags or extra blankets. We also supply towels and basic toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
Each yurt has a full bathroom, potable well water, and secure locking doors with keypad entry. Fire extinguishers and first aid kits are included for peace of mind. And yes, the yurts are weatherproof and safe from wildlife and insects—just be sure to store food inside to avoid attracting any curious critters.
For those looking to explore, CGG sits on 400 acres of pristine forest with miles of hiking and biking trails. Guests are encouraged to bring their own bikes, as rentals aren’t available on-site. Dogs are welcome, and each yurt includes an outdoor propane firepit that’s usable even during summer fire bans.
Whether you’re planning a romantic retreat, a family adventure, or a solo escape into nature, staying in a yurt at Columbia Gorge Getaways offers a one-of-a-kind experience that’s equal parts wild and refined
