While I’m partial to wood-built “yurts,” the traditional Mongolian home was a tent that could be easily moved. The yurt below looks very similar to those original yurts, and the off-grid vacation spot will make you feel like you’re stepping back in time.

It sits on 35.5 private acres in the Great Plains of Colorado and offers breathtaking views of the flat landscape. Inside there’s a queen bed, wood stove, and solar/battery-powered twinkle lights and lanterns to light your path. The little kitchenette offers you a spot to make a simple meal, and you can sit to eat either indoors or out. Tell us what you think of this yurt!

Romee & Ruud were indie folk musicians traveling the Netherlands in their amazing green VW bus, but had the desire to put down some roots. So they built a wooden yurt from all kinds of recycled, reclaimed and thrifted materials.

The inside of the yurt is typical studio-style with a loft bedroom and oodles of plants. One of the unique features of this home is that it’s designed to be taken apart and moved if they ever need to relocate — not unlike the Mongolian yurts that started this round home trend centuries ago. What do you think?
