Relaxing Riverfront Yurt Near Hot Springs, Hiking & Kayaking

Escape to this stunning riverfront yurt just minutes from Miracle Hot Springs and 1000 Springs. Surrounded by nature and adventure, you’re perfectly situated to enjoy nearby hikes like Box Canyon and explore the water by kayak or paddleboard with rental access just a short distance away. Don’t miss the chance to visit the breathtaking Blue Heart Springs!

Watch for bald eagles, herons, pelicans, and other incredible wildlife right from your doorstep. After a day of exploring, soak in the private natural hot spring-fed hot tub overlooking the river — the perfect place to unwind.

Inside, you’ll find a cozy queen bed with a premium Yogabed mattress, and a beautiful detached bathroom with a full shower and tub. Whether you're here to relax, recharge, or reconnect with nature, this peaceful studio yurt offers the ultimate getaway.

Fishing is welcome — and so is doing absolutely nothing at all.

Pleasant spot

The little hot tub is the best part. Overlooking the river. A cold water hose to regulate the temperature would be really helpful though!

The property was dog friendly and provided a central location for visiting state parks in the area. It was also close to hot spring pools that were very nice. Restaurants in Buhl were also fine places to eat.

Close to the river

One of the pictures in the listing made it look like the river was just outside the door, but it was a short walk down a descent path to get there. We had an incredible time and wish we could have stayed longer.

Relaxing getaway

Low key, relaxing area. Slightly funky yurt furnishings/supplies. Very nice bath house. Perfect little hot tub overlooking the river. Dog friendly - especially nice with the grassy area down by the river. It was a really good little getaway.

Yurt Deluxe

The setting was perfect, above the river with a short walk down to the water. So pretty and awesome watching pelicans and an eagle fly through. The yurt had everything we needed and a very comfortable bed. Just wished we had stayed longer.

Soaked up the beauty of the Snake River

Very Zen-like accommodations staying in this gorgeous yurt along the Snake River. Enjoyed the outdoor tub, friendly cat and gentle sounds of rain to fall asleep to. Highly recommend.

Wonderful getaway!

My wife and I spent a night at the yurt and had a wonderful stay. We were fortunate to receive an early check in and spent most of the afternoon and evening enjoying the property and the nature surrounding it. Excellent bird watching- from the chairs outside the yurt, we saw hawks, pelicans, cormorants, hummingbirds, quails and more! It was clean, comfortable, well appointed and private. We came in the middle of summer and the AC units kept us cool without any issues. It was too warm to try out the hot tub, but we hope to visit again so that we can! Many thanks to Jen who was hosting during our visit!

Central and peaceful stay

Was the perfect lauching point for my adventures in Buhl and the magic valley. Very response to an issue I had. Loved soaking in the 'tub' and popping over to nearby Banbury adventures for kayak rental.There were 2 families of quail and close to all the ducks and pelicans on the rivwrriver

Great retreat, with extras

Amazing large yurt, above the river. Clean, comfortable, even xtra coffee and popcorn. Beautiful, clean bathroom just steps from the yurt. Outside tub stays warm a very long time. Very quiet, except for the sounds of nature. Owner's cat? was very lovable and friendly and made herself at home, which was a joy for me.

Defintely coming back!

We had such a great time! The property is gorgeous and the yurt is cozy and well-maintained. Also, the bathroom is just a few steps outside the yurt and is brand new. The kitchen area has everything you need to cook a variety of meals. We accidentally tripped the breaker one morning when cooking breakfast and the host responded quickly and solved the problem within minutes. I cant recommend this experience enough!!
