Each of the five yurts is 200 square feet and exceptionally clean and well-maintained. Each yurt has a queen bed, quality comforter, sheets, pillows, and towels. Also included is heater, lighting, and power to recharge your phone and or computer. Complimentary WiFi is included.
The canvas wall tent is the highest quality available (more wall tents coming in the future). The 12' x 12' (144 square feet) wall tent is set up on an elevated platform and supported by a rough sawn cedar internal frame. All the wood was harvested and milled locally.

Electric Cruiser Bicycle
Enjoy a super nice and comfortable electric cruiser bicycle, allowing you to relax and enjoy the Banks-Vernonia State Trail with ease. You must be 16 years old to ride an electric bike in Oregon.

Location
Vernonia Springs is an eco-friendly private park located at the base of the Northwest Oregon coast range halfway between Portland (35-45 minute drive) in the Willamette Valley and Cannon Beach on the Oregon coast (45-60 minute drive).
Banks-Vernonia State Trail
Banks-Vernonia State Trail is the first “rails-to-trails” linear state park built in Oregon. The trail follows an abandoned railroad bed that stretches 21 miles between the cities of Banks and Vernonia. Most of the route consists of an eight-foot-wide hiking and bicycle trail paralleled by a four-foot wide horse trail.
The gentle grade in all but one area allows hikers, bicyclists, equestrians, and people of all abilities to enjoy the scenic mountains, fields, and forests of Washington and Columbia counties.
Trail views include two 700-foot long, 80-foot high railroad trestles (Buxton and Horseshoe). The Buxton Trestle, which has a new deck and guardrail, is open to hikers and bicyclists. A ground-level equestrian bypass crosses Mendenhall Creek. The trail also has 13 bridges.
