Looking up inside a yurt

Anticipated in 2009, Paca Pride Guest Ranch will feature guest yurts for rental. Each one will be uniquely furnished for a rustic, upscale camping experience. But don't worry about being too rustic, electricity and wireless internet are also planned. Even those non-campers who prefer a hotel room to a tent will be pleasantly surprised at the delightful experience of staying in a yurt. Imagine, your own round mini cabin in the woods!

Our first phase rollout will introduce up to 10 guest yurts along the top of our forested hillside and within full view of the alpacas and llamas romping in the pastures. Comfortable beds, linens, and pillows will keep you cozy as you gaze at the stars through the center dome.

In future phases, our yurts will get a lift. That's right, tree-yurts! We'll be building them on decks in the trees for a truly memorable getaway.

Our guests who stay at Paca Pride will have restroom and shower facilities accessible from right outside the main building. A nice hot shower makes the choice between staying at a campground and staying with us an easy one!

But that's not all! We might be rustic, but we're still a resort and that means we plan to offer amenities that we couldn't live without, and you'd never be able to find at a campground: a hot tub, sauna, and steam room. Watch for them to come in the future!

How do you describe what it's like to stay in a yurt?

Let's just say there is something that is magically spiritual about it! Something about a structure that has no corners and draws the eyes naturally upward has a way of lifting the spirit as well. You can hear the birds, you can listen to the rain, and you can see the sky. Yurts stay comfortably warm since they are insulated and the windows and top dome can be opened to allow in a fresh summer breeze. There are many individuals who use yurts as their primary residence, dividing some of the larger ones into individual rooms. Our guest yurts will be like having your own bedroom in the forest.

What food will you need to bring when staying at Paca Pride?

Think camping reinvented. We make enjoying the outdoors easy. Propane BBQs are available for cooking outdoors, for those who are adventurous. Just pack your cooler as you would any outdoor getaway. We even offer cooking utensil kits for rental containing everything you need to prepare and eat your meal, you just bring the food! If you like, you can also choose to saunter into town only 7 miles away, to eat at a number of restaurants there or go 2.5 miles further up the road to the Mountain View restaurant for a great burger and fries.

What's included in each yurt?

Each guest yurt will be furnished with beds and furniture; some will be able to host up to four in a yurt; some yurts will be clustered near others for families and friends. Yurts will also feature insulated wall linings and electric heaters for comfort. Electric outlets and lighting complete our spin on camping. Yurts will also have picnic tables and front decks to lounge outside. Showers and restrooms are attached to the main house for a hot shower.
