Our Story

A different kind of place to lay your head.

Elkhorn Yurt isn't your average stopover. It's a round, warm, unexpectedly comfortable sanctuary perched off Highway 21 in the quiet hills around Idaho City — a town that still feels like the real Idaho.

We built this space for people who want to slow down, breathe deeper, and sleep under a sky that doesn't have a single streetlight in sight. Whether you're passing through or staying a while, we want you to leave feeling like you found something special.

The Experience

What it feels like to stay with us

Every detail is designed to make you feel at home while surrounded by the untamed beauty of Idaho.

Morning Coffee, Mountain Air

Wake up to the kind of silence you can actually hear. Sip something warm on the yurt's deck while the Idaho morning unfolds around you.

Starry, Starry Nights

No streetlights, no glow — just an open sky full of stars. Fall asleep under the Milky Way and wake up feeling like a kid again.

Right in the Middle of It

Idaho City's historic charm, local trails, and nearby adventures are all within reach — but the yurt keeps the world at a comfortable distance.

Amenities

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

We keep it simple and thoughtful. The yurt is equipped with the essentials so you can focus on what matters — relaxing, exploring, and disconnecting.
