Yurt it up


Yurts! I have never actually been inside a yurt, but I'm convinced that these amazingly magical and slightly impractical dwellings would exceed my expectations if given a chance. Add a pack of llamas, and you are looking at my dream home.
I'm trying to find one to rent out for a weekend, but it's hard to find a yurt campground that allows yappy dogs, and won't force you to partake in an energy healing workshop. Apparently you can't properly enjoy circular living unless your chakras are aligned.

Take a trip, maaan.

  1. Hey-yurts aren't just for hippies anymore. Although we hippies do still like them quite a bit! Check out our Visit a Yurt page at www.coloradoyurt.com...you might find one near you. You will definitely "find them magical" and possibly a good deal more practical than you think. Your top photo is one of our yurts in Alaska where practicality rules!

    take care, thanks for the yurt mention.

  2. Hi Jennie!
    Thanks so much for the link- your yurts and tipis are beautiful! Living in NYC, I can only dream of having the space to own one, but it is definitely a goal of mine for the future!
    Best,
    Lisa
