Inside it lives just like a studio home. Looks super cozy, doesn’t it?
It’s an open layout, with windows, a huge bed, dining, all in one area. What do you think of it?
One of my favorite parts of a yurt, the skylight…
Look how tall the trees are! How amazing…

My bestie Judy has a Yurt on the Big Island…She is doing great she says.
I could do this! Especially where they chose to live! Puget Sound, close to Seattle, and great art workshops right on the island? Sounds like heaven!
From what I’ve heard, you’d love the price of land as well. Not!
Nice…until one of those trees falls over.
