About this property

Winterized and perched above the North Fork River/ sumptuous living/ hotub.



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.

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!!!

A Labrador's perspective
Boy, did we have fun! I'm a five-year-old yellow Lab, and our parents took me and my older black Lab sister to George's yurt for five days. Every morning we got to run up and down the river and splash to our hearts' content. We got to see deer and a a big red fox and I flushed a pheasant (my favorite thing to do)! Our parents must have really enjoyed it, as they were in a good mood the whole time. There is so much to do in the area, both for humans and dogs. We really enjoyed Paonia, a wonderful small town with a real sense of community that my dad said was like going back in time to the 1940s when rural America was the backbone of the nation. Lots of nice places to eat, although our parents didn't bring us any doggie bags. They selfishly ate it all for themselves. We got to go across Grand Mesa and the really pretty Kebler Pass. Our parents stopped a lot to take pictures of all the bright gold aspen trees and my sister and I got to play a lot in the mountain lakes and sniff all kinds of interesting stuff. We didn't enjoy all the wineries as much as our mom and dad did (they wouldn't give us any to taste), but that was OK because we got to watch all the wildlife and the really pretty sunsets over the river every night from the cool walkway from our yurt. My sister and I think the yurt is the nicest place we have ever stayed. We are lobbying for a return trip. And for circular dog houses. We'll let you know how that goes.

About the host

Hosted by George Hall

Host profile image
My name is George W. Hall III and I am a Sculptor with a masters in architecture from UCLA that built the VRBO property specifically for his 85 year old sculptor father. George w. Hall Jr. needed a place close to us to make sculpture,draw,read,and enjoy his remaining years with his golden retriever until the big thumb came out of the sky and squashed them both. We had the perfect location and you are looking at the result of a sons love of his father.The main house, not the rental, was placed on the Colorado Historical Register through the tireless efforts of my wife Devon VanDusen. Trust me, Without her input, your stay would be less enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

Riverwalk Yurts, in Paonia, Colorado, has the tricked out Riverwalk Yurt, positioned at the top of the property’s riverfront, and as one travels downstream, you pass the Riverwalk Tipi (primitive yet directly on river) and end up at the Grove Yurt (also primitive and on the river) at the bottom. We also have a 2 RV spaces with power and water hookups and a dump station inland of the tipi. We are just finishing up a shower, toilet house for general use for guests on the lower property.

What makes this property unique

The property is 35 acres that meanders along the North Fork of the Gunnison River. There are 3 small tended fields on the upper sections of the property.This is where the brick house that is on the state register is situated. The lower sections range from unmanicured meadows with random succulents to stands old growth cottonwoods on the river bank. In the center of these trees stands a primitive 30'Yurt in its own natural clearing.
