Yurt


Yurts, are a round tent-like structure that merges the worlds of tents, huts and houses. Traditionally, these dwellings were used as portable houses by nomadic cultures of central Asia. Since then, the yurt has become a growing accommodation trend around the world and in the ever growing glamping industry. These modern building styles allow for yurts to be customized and accessorized with wood floors, fireplaces, plumbing, electricity and more.
