The main bedroom has a generous closet and outdoor access.
Warm, summer days and evenings call for a grill outside.
The customized yurt, attached hut, and porch are perched atop Refugio Mountain for stunning views.

We spent the night in a spacious, one-of-a-kind yurt that overlooks the Channel Islands and knits together local history and modern comfort.
Although yurts loom large in the modern imagination as glamping accommodations, the story of the mobile, circular tent dates back thousands of years to nomadic herders in the Central Asian steppe. Easy to assemble and wind-resistant thanks to its shape, yurts are certainly versatile and practical, but traditional designs also incorporate the spiritual and cultural—for example, altars are placed on the northern side, which is considered sacred space.
