Yurts. They have been partially responsible for the “Glamping” trend that has been sweeping across Airbnb.

And we are obsessed with them!

Last summer my wife and I found a yurt for rent on Airbnb in Applegate Valley, Oregon. It would have been a perfect stop on our Pacific Northwest road trip before we hit the Redwood Highway and drive into and down California.

I had always wanted to stay in a yurt and it was a bargain too. So we booked it!

It was one of the best stays we had on Airbnb and was a truly enchanting experience.

If you haven’t yet singed up for Airbnb, go ahead and do so here to get $55 off your next trip. That’s $40 towards your first stay and $15 towards Airbnb Experiences.

We have luckily never had a poor experience using Airbnb. I have heard and read all the horror stories online about finding hidden cameras or mold in rooms. What I have to say to that is those stories aren’t common and there are ways you can make sure it doesn’t happen to you.

Some precautions we take are avoiding new listings with few reviews and few photos. We also mostly tend to book with Superhosts. The Superhost badge isn’t easy to get and are a sure sign that your stay will be worth it.

Additional tips: Always read as many of the reviews you can on the listing before you book. Read through the listing as thoroughly as possible and communicate with the host to set expectations.

Let’s get back to the good stuff – enchantingly darling yurts! These are my favorites I have come across on Airbnb so far. Some we have had the pleasure of staying in and some we hope to stay in.

Pin it for later!

1. Sunset View Yurt of Applegate Valley

This yurt was the first yurt we ever stayed in. After our flight landed in Medford, Oregon in the early afternoon and we were already wiped out, this was the perfect oasis at the top of the Applegate valley to find refuge in.

Our hosts were more than we could ask for and brought us fresh fruit and some of my favorite snacks: Larabars! They were a delight and welcomed with open arms into their home.

The yurt had both heat and air available along with plenty of games and books for entertainment.

As we stepped out the front of the yurt we could see horses feeding and around the bend on my run I caught a couple of cute cows. I loved the area the yurt was in and was also close to everything in town.

I give this yurt a 10 out of 10 and we will 100% be back!

2. Mountain Top Yurt in The Redwoods

Don’t tell my favorite yurt couple from Applegate valley this but, this yurt was one of the coolest places we have ever stayed.

This mountain top yurt in the redwoods is located southeast of San Jose. It is in the middle of the forest on Mt. Madonna and walking distance to Mount Madonna Retreat Center. There is also a Buddhist mediation center nearby and you can hear their chanting and bells in the distance.

The shower and bathroom were outside but absolutely perfect. We had a heater in the yurt which we actually ended up using.

I also applaud the snacks. In my opinion, every Airbnb is not complete without snacks. I always look to see if an Airbnb has snacks in the reviews or the listing before booking.

This one gets a 10 out of 10 as well and can’t wait to maybe come back in the near future!

3. Mountain Octagon in West Augusta

More Ways to Make Your Trip Memorable:

Airbnb is one of our favorite travel apps for finding unique accommodations such as yurts. But there are a couple of other travel apps that I never go on a trip without.

  • TripAdvisor: We are a big fan of road tripping and exploring as much as we can while traveling. TripAdvisor is a great resource for getting as much information you can about your route and destination from both tourists and locals.
  • Ebates: Ebates is great for travel in two ways, it offers cash back on any travel you book online when activating the cash back offer on your browser extension and they also have their own travel portal on their site that you can book your travel directly. Side note: they currently offer 3% cash back on TripAdvsor.com.
  • GivingAssitant: This is the only cash back site that I have found that offers cash back on Airbnb bookings, 5% cash back in fact.
  • Hopper: I love using Hopper to compare dates with their amazing interactive calendar to snag the best prices on flights, according to timing and their predictions.
  • HotelTonight: Sometimes life happens and you might have an Airbnb host cancel your booking last minute. I have never had this happen to us before but just in case, I keep HotelTonight in my back pocket. The app finds you incredible last minute hotel deals so you aren’t left in the cold. If you use the promo code DANFLORES118, we both get $25 off our next booking!
