Who we are

Hi, we are Misha Dumov and Gene Kemper, co-founders of Happy Yarvi. We started our company in Tacoma, Washington in 2024. Passionate about making the outdoors fun, enjoyable and inclusive for everyone, our company is a social enterprise, on a mission to expand equitable access to the outdoors in a stress-free and unintimidating way.

We specialize in creating unforgettable outdoor experiences, combining the thrill of the outdoors with the comfort of furnished and styled large glamping canvas bell tents. Through comfort and elegance, we bring glamping to you.

January 2026 update

It is heartbreaking that I even have to make this statement: I cannot offer our services to those who support the human rights policies of the current federal administration, including members of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement. I cannot support the militarization of the U.S. government against its own people and people of other nations, and do not want to contribute to systems that normalize state violence, authoritarian enforcement and the erosion of civil and human rights.
