What exactly is an Octadecagon? At Lothlorien Woods our "Yurt" is an 18-sided, custom-built and exquisitely appointed wilderness cabin unlike any other. Over two years in construction, Roy Conant, allowed the spirit of the "Yurt" and the materials incorporated therein to guide the realization of a sweet, peaceful, and relaxing accessible wilderness respite, Accessible from inside the "Yurt" is a bathroom with a roll-in shower with seat and other facilities with transfer provisions.
 
Largely constructed from materials lovingly and gently harvested on-site, the Yurt at Rivendell is a sanctuary of peace and serenity, a place for rejuvenation and inspiration. Step back in time to a stress-free existence while the sun, the moon and the stars wink at you through the gentle undulations of the 100 year-old Douglas Firs Trees and the "Dome" of the Yurt itself. Relish the radiance of tranquility in your sojourn to heartsease and inspiration. 
 
Privacy abounds in this Awesome Cabin, situated all by itself in the midst of forest and meadow, of breathtaking beauty and sumptuous simplicity with wild life all around. One can normally expect to see deer, wild turkeys, squirrels (especially those scampering across the roof, deck and trees adjacent) and sometimes bear, bobcat, cougar, and elk -- Along with native birds, plants, and butterflies in season!
 
Relax in your very own teakwood hot tub on a private deck overlooking the wonders of nature. Be at peace with life and nature in our pastoral cabin while being just a short distance from the wondrous Columbia River Gorge, it's world-renowned spectacular scenery and waterfalls, and the bucolic villages which line its shores.

Yurt at Rivendell Romance in the Forest

This is just what the doctor ordered.  With a young child with underlying conditions, we have been holed up since March.  This yurt was the perfect place for a 2 day escape.  Ron and Rebecca showed us extra kindness and care to make us feel comfortable about stepping outside of our bubble.  The place was a clean and relaxing place to come back to after days of fishing and birding.  The full kitchen, gorgeous back deck, large grill, and beautiful cedar hot tub made for a perfect getaway.  

Dreamy

My partner, dog and I had a great time in the yurt! I moved here recently from Louisiana and the rural property reminded me of summers at my grandfather’s farm. Being “off the grid” really made it that more relaxing. We also enjoyed the stereo with CD’s to pick through, there were two of Cajun and zydeco music that made me feel right at home! We enjoyed grilling some Cajun rubbed chicken on the porch, while our dog—Willie Nelson, watched squirrels and got some much needed fresh air. I loved relaxing in the hot tub in the evenings and even got to watch a deer graze while soaking. It was a therapeutic and much needed get-away especially in these stressful times! I can’t wait to come back and hopefully bring family and friends. - love Nick, Zoe, and Willie! 

Lovely Social Distancing Trip 

We had a wonderfully amazing ladies vacation. My friend flew up from California and we needed some sisterly best friend unplugged time. We both talked about bringing our husbands sometime for a lovely just him and I time. We enjoyed the walking down old roads and being away. We loved the kitchen so we were able to bring groceries up and not have to drive each day. Mark the caretaker did a great job of taking care of what we needed and just leaving us be. We plan to be back. 

Just some friends unplugged and together. 

Our stay was amazing! The Yurt is very cozy and we slept very well. The wooden hot tub was a very nice addition. We met the a very sweet dog that wanders around the property, he’s a bit old but very nice if you get a chance to meet him. I would definitely recommend this place and I fully intend to come back again in the future.

Very relaxing

Really lovely yurt tucked away in a semi-forested semi-cleared landscape about 13 miles outside of White Salmon. We love to cook and were able to make some really good meals in the fully equipped kitchen. Quiet, relaxing, and a really easy get away from Portland.

The double bed is a bit small and too firm for our taste, but still slept really well out there! I would recommend bringing an extra blanket and pillows if you are particular sleepers like my wife and I.
