About

This off-grid yurt sits in splendid isolation outside Orderville, where solar power and mountain silence replace the usual hotel amenities. The circular canvas structure sleeps large groups comfortably, with thoughtful details throughout that guests consistently rave about. Hummingbirds frequent the property, adding an unexpected touch of magic to morning coffee.

Unbeatable Night Sky and Sunsets

The real draw here is the night sky. With zero light pollution, you'll see shooting stars and constellations invisible from town. Sunsets paint the surrounding cliffs in brilliant colors, then fade into a star show that keeps guests outside long past bedtime. The property has plenty of space for campfires and late-night conversations under that incredible canopy.

Location and Access

It's about 20 minutes from Zion's east entrance, making it a perfect base for exploring the park's quieter side. The location feels wonderfully remote (cell service is spotty, which many guests consider a feature), yet you're still close enough for day hikes in the canyon. Families love the space to spread out, and dogs can roam freely on the expansive property.

What Makes It Special

This isn't luxury camping in the traditional sense. It's something better: a chance to disconnect completely while staying somewhere genuinely special. The solar setup keeps essentials running, but the real luxury is the silence, the stars, and waking up surrounded by Utah's red rock country.

Amazing and magical! The pictures already looked great but nothing prepared us for the beauty of this place. Our jaws dropped and not only because of the views but for all the attention to detail that went into making this stay as wonderful as can be. The hummingbirds only add to the fairytale feeling. Thank you, Jen!

Absolutely phenomenal. This yurt was absolutely perfect for an overnight trip with a large family group. It is extremely well-equipped, it's in a wonderfully remote location just outside of the East entrance to Zion NP, and it's a perfect place to come and unwind. It's totally off-grid with solar power. The yurt itself is clean, comfortable, and has a very generously appointed kitchen. You can tell that the owners went above & beyond in thinking through what their guests might want to have on-hand. We had a lovely time enjoying some solitude, and the kids loved the yard games and the freedom to just run around and be kids up here.

My family and I spent a night in the yurt and it was one of the coolest experiences in my life. From the yurt you can see the beautiful sunset and the incredible night sky. When I went I sew my first shooting stars. I had so much fun and would definitely go back again.

A great place for rest and gatherings set at an incredibly beautiful location! Plenty of space for camping around, campfires, and conversations lasting long into the night. The air is pristine and the sky is starry! If you ever come visit (and you should!), please take care to follow the rules of the yurt to let the future visitors enjoy this beautiful place!

OMG if you ever have a chance to stay here. YOU MUST!!!!! it is worth every detour. Being from NYC it is just so nice to be in the middle of no where with no service. I came here with 6 other friends and we all enjoyed it very much. It gave us a chance to bond. There is just so many good things to say about the yurt but what i say will not explain or come close to the feeling of being there.
