About the Dragonfly Yurt
The Dragonfly Yurt in Eugene, Oregon is owned by Melissa and Trip – a super sweet couple who have a log house on the property. You can book it through Hipcamp, which is a website similar to Airbnb, but with camping and glamping sites! The hosts make sure that everyone feels included and safe, and their listing reflects that – booking places to stay in the more rural parts of the country can be a little iffy sometimes, but I felt 100% comfortable coming here as a queer couple.

There’s a little deck outside the yurt, with chairs and a table perfect for enjoying a cup of tea or coffee in the morning!

The walls of the Dragonfly Yurt have some windows as well, which can be unzipped from outside. When you unzip them, there’s a vinyl cover, which means even if it’s raining, you can open up the windows for views of the trees! In good weather, there’s also a screen so that you can roll up the vinyl too. On the ceiling, you’ll find a skylight!
You’ll find literally everything you could need for your getaway inside the Dragonfly Yurt! There’s a spacious bed with a Sleep Number mattress, an additional futon if you need another bed, a coffee table, foldable tables and chairs, a TV with an HDMI cable, a Wifi hotspot, a warm electric fireplace and heated blankets, tea, coffee, snacks, and even some dog treats! The hosts really though of everything.
