Silvertip Yurt | Private Yurt Rental

The Silvertip Yurt has bunk space to squeeze up to seven people, but we recommend a comfortable six at maximum. There are mattresses for the beds upstairs, but not for the bunk downstairs. We have utensils, kitchen supplies pots and pans, wood for the fireplace, and propane for cooking. We have a private outhouse for the Silvertip Yurt.

Please coordinate sauna usage with other guests.

Silvertip Yurt is outfitted with pots, pans, dishes and utensils, wood for the wood stoves, and propane for cooking on the cooking range. All you need to bring is a sleeping bag, food, and friends! Please be sure to clean up the yurt better than you found it and collect and pack out all clothing, gear and FOOD (incl. spices, condiments, coffee, tea) before you leave. Edibles attract unwanted visitors!

There is no running water at the cabin, but Canyon Creek runs right by the property and is a reliable year-round source of water. The easiest access to the creek is at the bridge. Water from the creek should be treated by boiling, filtering, or chemical means before drinking. We do not have any electrical outlets available. We encourage you to use this opportunity to unplug and enjoy the outdoors and your fellow visitors.

The Silvertip Yurt has a few lanterns, but no lights like the Manitoba Cabin does. You may consider bringing your own lighting. The lights are battery powered, so consider bringing some AA and AAA batteries just in case!

The Manitoba property is an off-grid facility with no staff on site. We do our best to maintain the facility, but as a small non-profit, our resources are limited. We ask that you please pack out all of your trash and leave the cabin cleaner than you found it. It’s a huge help to us, and it makes the next guest’s stay even better.

Please note that Manitoba is a SHARED space, but the Silvertip Yurt is private. Be considerate of Manitoba Cabin hut-users and observe quiet hours from 11:00pm-7:00AM. Please coordinate Sauna usage with guests at the Manitoba Cabin. Thank you!
