Ophelia is an adorable double yurt in Canyon Lake, Texas, specifically designed as a romantic honeymoon suite. The main yurt houses a king-sized bed and full kitchen, boasting full-sized appliances. There are luxury finishes throughout, such as fancy furniture and a large TV.

The second, smaller, yurt houses a spacious bathroom, which houses a soaking tub! There’s also a shower stall, a residential toilet, and a large vanity. Behind the yurts is a concrete patio, where a grill, picnic table, and hot tub complete the experience.

While it’s not uncommon for a yurt to be placed on a deck, I’m not sure we’ve ever seen one on stilts! This set-up allows for a spacious sleeping area in the yurt itself, and a fun porch with a private soaking tub and fire pit.

On the first floor, the bathhouse has a residential toilet and walk-in shower with two shower heads. A spiral staircase takes you up to the second level, where the yurt and porch are located. You’re not far from Lake George, but there’s also a shared pool about 300 feet from the yurt.

This house feature comes with a little history lesson! These yurts were designed by the Missouri-based “Concept Twenty-One” manufacturer, which built fiberglass “yurts” on-site that were touted as more energy-efficient and economical than other manufactured homes. You can read a 1978 article about these homes here.

This particular yurt has been recently renovated, so it feels like it was built yesterday — and has all the comforts of home, so you can enjoy a great vacation! I could definitely live in here  as well — there’s a big kitchen, a spacious living area, and a private queen-sized bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

Here’s a gorgeous wooden yurt tucked in the Maryland woods that has all the comforts of home in a unique round shape! Dubbed “Yellowstone Yurt,” this cabin has a studio-style set-up with a living room, queen bed and fun retro kitchen in the main dome.

A bathroom addition provides a luxurious spot to get clean, complete with a rainfall shower head and heated floors! There’s a sauna on the deck where you can sweat away your worries. What do you think? Could you live in a yurt?

I love a yurt, and these steel-framed yurts from WeatherPort are a cool modern twist on the traditional structure. Their unique design is wind-and-snow resistant and sets up more quickly than most wooden yurts on the market today.

These yurts come with a number of color options and range in size from 12 to 30 feet in diameter. They make great ADUs and the bigger ones would easily house a small family in “tiny” style. Check them out below!

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!

One of the lovely parts about yurt-living is the built-in skylight in the center of the yurt roof. This one sends “Orange Sunshine” into the interior, thus the building’s quaint name.

This electricity-free structure sits in the “middle of nowhere” with beautiful river views and plenty of natural seclusion. In the cold months you can light the woodburning stove, and there’s a queen bed and futon where guests can sleep.

Dan’s very first project on his property was his “Mancave.” He never dreamed that someone would want to stay in it, but when a friend recommended he put it on Airbnb, it became a popular destination.

That’s when Dan started getting creative: He built a mini-village inside an airplane hangar, and then constructed a yurt, and then went on to build the TREEHOUSE yurt, which includes an elevator, hot tub and resident Alpacas for you to meet and greet.

He’s currently constructing Woodstock, where you can stay in a vintage VW bus and play music on his stage. You have to watch the interview with Tiny House Giant Journey to “meet” the wonderful Dan and his vacation world.

This itty bitty yurt is just one room with space for a twin-sized sleeping pad, couple of chairs and a wood-burning stove. Not much to look at, which reminded me a lot of Thoreau’s little cabin in the woods.

This yurt is in Flagstaff, Arizona on a campground: There’s a Main Lodge nearby with toilet and shower facilities, and you’ll have a exterior picnic table and grill to make food. Thinking camping, but they provide the tent (yurt) — with a bonus wood-burning stove!

Book your stay in this baby yurt over at Glamping Hub.
