Great Yurt Getaways

The great outdoors are easily accessible when you are living in a yurt. The lightweight structure is relatively easy to assemble anywhere and the super rugged fabric covered frame can withstand high winds and extreme temperatures. This cozy model, situated in Ridgway, Colorado, is manufactured by Colorado Yurt Company, which is based in Montrose.

Make your vacation fantasy come true with a yurt getaway to places as remote and beautiful as this exotic location amid the sandstone wonders of Goblin Valley State Park in Utah.

Looking up from the main floor of your yurt, this is what you should see. The dome opening, which is usually covered with a protective acrylic skylight, can be the major focal point of your structure. Some companies provide tinted skylights which help reduce the heat from direct sunlight.
