The Off-Grid Green Yurt in the Wood

TRUE OFF-GRID WILDERNESS ADVENTURE - NO shower, NO WiFi, NO cell service, wildlife encounters guaranteed!

Welcome to Sleepy Bear Green Yurt!

Live an incredible, timeless, and off-grid experience in a little piece of nature near Golden, BC. Located in the middle of the woods, this pretty rustic yurt will transport you to a simple, warm, and authentic world.

Perfect For:
- Adventure seekers and nature lovers
- Digital detox enthusiasts
- Wildlife photography
- Couples seeking unique experiences
- Those who understand "off-grid" means OFF-GRID

IMPORTANT: This is a genuine off-grid experience - perfect for adventurous souls seeking digital detox and wildlife encounters. Not suitable for those expecting hotel amenities.

All around the accommodation, take a breath of fresh air between a breathtaking view of the mountains and the hypnotizing sound of the stream flowing a few meters away. The more adventurous will even be able to discover during an enchanted getaway, the three waterfalls which are an integral part of the scenery, just a few hundred meters away, to enjoy a very refreshing swim.

Experience a unique way of life, while reconnecting with nature. Consisting of a double bed, a wood-burning stove, a basic kitchen, and an ecological composting toilet, living in the woods may not be luxurious but has never been so pleasant and intoxicating.

Wildlife Welcome Committee: Expect daily visits from deer, raccoons, bears, pine martens, and yes, the occasional mouse indoors. This is their home - you're the guest!

What "Off-Grid" Really Means
- NO shower facilities - Use our pristine waterfalls and stream for washing (truly refreshing!)
- NO Limited water - 90L tank for cooking only - every drop counts
- NO electricity - Solar power for basic lighting only
- NO WiFi or cell service - Complete digital detox zone
- NO Refrigerator - Cooler provided on arrival (bring ice).
- Wildlife encounters - Bears, deer, raccoons are your neighbors (bear safety essential!)
- Seasonal mosquitoes - Summer brings bugs! Come prepared with repellent

Bear Safety (NON-NEGOTIABLE):
- Never leave food, garbage, or pet food outside
- All scented items must be stored indoors
- Carry bear spray when exploring

Firewood: Provided for indoor stove only (bring your own for BBQ/campfire)

Wildlife: Mice may visit indoors (you're in the woods!) - part of the authentic experience.

There are no blinds; you will be awakened by the early morning light.

Not Suitable For:
- Those expecting hotel amenities
- Guests uncomfortable with wildlife
- Anyone needing reliable cell service
- Visitors wanting daily showers

PLEASE DO NOT LET YOUR DOG SLEEP ON THE BED.

Book only if you're genuinely excited about wilderness living with all its beautiful challenges!

Beautiful little getaway, with its own private waterfall only a 5 minute walk away. Hosts were very responsive and helpful, and even suggested some awesome activities in the area. The space was well kept and tidy, and the outhouses were even kinda cozy (if you can call an outhouse cozy!) My boyfriend and I hope to make this visit an annual thing. Thanks Sleepy Bear Retreat for a great stay.

We had a lovely time exploring the waterfalls in the nearby area, and the yurt had good amenities. However, our room was very dirty. We found spiderwebs all over the walls and behind our bed, and there were hairs all over our sheets (not from us!!), as well as we found a few bugs crawling in our bed as soon as we arrived. The amount of hairs and worm-looking bugs we found in our sheets were very off putting.
