We visited Rainbow Hearth Sanctuary for our 5th anniversary in mid-October. We stayed in the oh-so-fun tree house yurt. That's right a tree house yurt! Technically its a deck built up into the trees with the yurt on the deck and a separate bathroom with a walk in 2 person soaker tub and a skylight to the stars. We loved the accommodations obviously. My 6'7" husband fit no problem in the yurt, only had to duck his head to get in the door. The food was awesome, all cooked by the awesome Mariah- also the owner. We did not originally plan to meet all of our meals there, but it was so good, there was no reason to leave. Food is served family style, everyone eats the same thing, just let Mariah know if you can't have anything- the sprout salad is fabulous. The bodywork by both Mariah and Brenda was awesome, I felt safe and relaxed and they didn't feel the need to beat me up to loosen my muscles. Instead of the normal pain you feel after a massage when you were tense or tight, we actually came out feeling almost lightheaded we were so relaxed. Aaaand the next day no pain! This super cute place only has a few rooms so you know you are getting great attention while you are there. It is right on the mouth of the Colorado River, you can walk/hike down to the river. The water is way down, so its not very deep anywhere right now and there is a bit more of a hike to get to the water than it is to get to the boathouse. Coming to visit here was like coming to visit family, it was very welcoming, relaxing and just what we needed to get away from it all. This was our 1st trip away from our 1.5 year old, and we were happy and relaxed enough that we could not stress. This place is out in the middle of nowhere essentially, if you come here be prepared to relax and enjoy nature, you really will leave it all behind here. We loved it and hope to return sometime.
