About this property

Visit award winning wineries in our valley in tricked out Yurt on the NF River.



Our Yurt is a perfect winter sojourn. We are in a finite zone where the high deserts soar up into the Rocky Mountains. Thus, the wonderful small town of Paonia is temperate in winter, with access to the best winter sporting one direction and calming desert in the other.
In Southwest Colorado 2 miles west of Paonia, is a Yurt nestled on a large wrap around redwood deck anchored by two mature Elms and is wonderful year round . and The building is situated in close proximity to the North Fork of the Gunnison River. The Yurt is a sanctuary far removed from neighbors and below the sight-line and activity of Highway 133.The property meanders above and below the Yurt for a quarter of a mile along the river’s edge. There are established wildlife corridors for Elk and Deer. Eagles, Red Tailed Hawks, and Blue Herons nest on the property or directly across the river. Robins routinely inhabit the trees directly above the sheltering Yurt.
When entering the 700 square foot Yurt, a 14’ high skylight inset in a mad array of knotty Aspen, draws you to its center. Here the fireplace anchors the middle and the remaining amenities unwind to the outside of the circumference. Here there is full ADA kitchen and ADA bathroom, queen size bed, dining table, and sitting area. The surrounding river, mountains and cultivated farmland can be viewed ten different ways through 8 windows and 2 French doors. Think of a random compass point and there you will find a window framing your gaze. There is an openness seldom seen in standard structures. After rubbernecking for a while, your first coherent thought is, ‘I can relax here’. And the reality is, you can.

'In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy. '

Paradise Yurt

This is a truly magical and unique stay. George and Devon assure your comfort. The yurt is beautiful and surrounded by stunning nature. From the deck, you can hear the river or go in the hot tub. Wineries nearby, great local food- it’s one of my favorite places on earth.

Quiet respite

I spent about ten days at Riverwalk Yurt and had the most restorative and gentle time in Paonia. The property is just beautiful and of course Paonia is the cutest, friendliest town. Thank you George and Devon for the lovely space. I'll definitely be back!!!

Glorious connection to nature

This is one of our favorite spots in all the world and we never tire of coming here to reset and quiet the outside world for a bit. The gentle rumble of the river, trumpeting geese, and rustling of the trees bring such restoration to our souls!!

Heaven on Earth

Our second time staying in this little slice of heaven was as incredible as our first visit. This place is a gem, well kept, private and a wildlife and bird sanctuary. The sound of nature - the birds and river flowing - absolutely soothes the soul. It is a perfect escape from the everyday world, and was an opportunity to completely unplug, relax and recharge. George is an absolute joy and made our stay even more special.
