Hi Roxanne,
I wanted to take this oppertunity to thank you on behalf of Gregory and myself. Our stay at the yurt was absolutely phenomenal; words can not begin to express how magical it was. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your gorgeous ranch. Thank you for recommending the hike up the creek. For a brief moment the overgrowth and the 8 legged web-spinning neighbors deterredus from reaching the swimming hole. But upon arriving at the waterfall, there was no doubt we would definitely be back to test out the waters on a hot summer day!

We arrived in complete darkness, tired and dirty but all was well as soon as we stepped into the yurt. The orientation video was a fantastic greeting and told us everything and more about the place we were going to being staying - we were only sorry not to have met you Rob, Roxanne and family as we liked you right away. Thanks for a wonderful stay, Eric looked after us very well in your absence. The surroundings were wonderful and the yurt beat any hotel we've ever stayed in hands down. London's a long way away but I hope we'll come again.

From the moment we arrived, felt like Rob and Roxanne had been anxiously awaiting our arrival...as if we were long-lost relatives! A big howdy and an offer to pile in the back of his truck for a bumpy, surfing ride down to the creek and we were jump started for this adventure. Your enthusiasm for relaxed living was contageous. We never hesitated to give you a call as you offered and were surprised by Roxannes call to us while on the beach to offer us 4 women the chance to get a massage, pedicure, or facial from one of her friends in the buisness. Did we mention how odd we found it that no exchange of money took place until the moment we left? Would you give us this experience for free?! Free Love....maybe. Loved the orientation video too. You two are too cute! Loved the trapeze, the decor, the shower and tub, the commercial living area, the bear-skin rug under the stars, the island feel. We felt like goddesses....OR at least Janes from Tarzan's treehouse. Swinging through this jungle was a hoot.
What a blessed place to breathe in God's awesome creation.. and enjoy his finest creation - eachother!

"The Swedish Invasion"
9 Swedes who felt like 11! THank you Rob and Roxanne, Harmony and Sweet Pea for all the adventures you have taken us on. We had a wonderful time in your yurts. None of us will ever forget the barbeque down by the creek or the Indiana Jones adventure you took us on when TOmmy had his 60th birthday! We will also remember the stormy nights and the fika. We really hope you'll come to Sweden and visit Angelholm.

We arrived to find Rob, ably assisted by Harmony and sweetpea, finishing the installation of a swamp cooler. It was a warm day, plus a welcome inclusion to this beautiful abode/yurt.
On Saturday our youngest son graduated from UCSB and after graduation we had the family up here for a dinner. Everyone ood and aaah'd at the loveliness everywhere the eye could see. We thouroughly enjoyed our stay and well be planning our next visit.
P.S our guided tour of the creek and camping area down below was da bomb! Good luck!

We hope to cross paths with you agian either on the playa or back here sometime in the near future. Outshining you and the family. All the best!

Thanks for a great stay at the yurt this last Saturday. It was impressive to see the amount of work you guys put into making the yurt what it is. Plus there was even a bunch of kindling and paper ready to burn in the woodburning stove once we got there...thanks! Our stay was definitely too short, so hopefully we can make it back soon.
Until then, take care.

R&R, we so enjoyed your yurt. It was a great, relaxing time for us. A time to renew and rejuvenate as well as celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We walked up to the bench and renewed our vows we wrote 10 years ago, so now your little spot on the world has special and deep meaning to us. Thank you for making it available and for sharing it.

Thank you for making our first stay in a yurt a wonderful one. We were very impressed with all of your special touches, and we enjoyed learning about part of the yurt from your (very entertaining) video. It is obvious that this yurt is a "labor of love", and we appreciated the chance to experience it. Thanks also for greeting us with such hopitality. It was nice to feel like a part of the Bjorklund ranch. WE hope to visit again soon!

Dear owner people!
THanks for letting us use your place. Uncle Pamon was right about it being cool. I love the trapeze bar and awesome furnishing. But most of all I love the comfy, homey feeling of the place. I'm soooo looking forward to checking out the scenery tomorrow morning. I wish I could live in a place like this.

Thank you for a peaceful and refreshing vacation. WE especially enjoyed the swing trapeze as an entrance into the bed!
The bathtub at 9:30 a.m. is magical~ sun beaming in over the roof as you bathe...aaah.
Fun to read the mountain drive history too~ and absorb a bit of the bohemian spirit.
THanks again!

It was a pleasure to meet Rob, Roxanne, Harmony, Sweet pea, and mom too! The view was spectacular, the yurt is very comfortable. You thought of everything; the towels, the wine stopper, the candles, the flowers, shower products, kitchen supplies, BBQ. There were lights wherever you needed lighting! We enjoyed the wood fireplace very much. This has been a peaceful , unforgettable experience.
Thank you , for sharing this gem with us.

We loved our stay here! Truly unique experience, very relaxing. We loved the rustic yet homey feel of the decorations. The view is great and it's so nice to just look at the stars at night! Our 3 year old son loves this place and our black lab was in heaven!
Thanks again!

Amazing place! Its so nice to find someplace so relaxing and out of the ordinary, so close to home. From our first day when we had lunch out on the deck, we knew we had found paradise. So quiet and peaceful, the perfect spot to unwind. The tub was absolutly our favorite part. It was terriffic. We cant wait to come back and stargaze again.

We spent the Christmas weekend here and had a wonderful time. It is the most unique rental we had ever stayed at. The hand craft creation was intimate and homey. It was like a cabin in the woods, but like not anywhere in So. Cal, but somewhere exotic, in primitive times. THe view was spectacular, the deck was great. We will definitely plan for a future trip with some friends and have a cook out on the deck. The bed was very comfy, love the fireplace (especially in the winter), and the bathroom is cool! Molly & Hamlet, our tow Malties loves this home away from home. ROb & Roxanne, thanks for using recycled materials for this home. Harmony, thanks for the tour. See you soon! Garth and I love the trapeze bar! See pic!
