Ways You Can Use Your Yurts

Private

 

Because yurts are low cost, portable, versatile and adaptable to individual needs and tastes — and beautiful — you can use them for a wide variety of purposes. Rainier yurts are especially easy to set up and once in place can be plumbed, wired, heated and easily ventilated or cooled (these options require licensed contractors and are not provided by Rainier). Built to handle snow, rain, wind, and sun, Rainier yurts are ideal for year-round or periodic use.

 

"Yurts are fashionable," says Irene Rawlings, co-author of Portable Houses (Gibbs Smith Publisher). "They've sort of outgrown their hippie connotation and ended up being very much like second homes." New owners are using them as backcountry ski huts, guest cottages, home offices, yoga retreats and restaurants. They are found in back yards, on beaches, in ski resorts, summer camps and as nightly rentals in state parks.
