We made the Lydia bed for one of our yurts. This bed is a perfect fit for our beloved Betty yurt.This bed adds a touch of whimsy and femininity. Guests love this bed and comment how it adds to the experience of staying in a yurt.

What is a yurt?
Yurts are traditional houses from Mongolia, Kazakhstan and has been the primary shelter for nomadic herdsman for centuries. These circular wooden dwellings were traditionally covered with felted wool and skins. As the nomads lives revolved around the rhythms of nature, the yurt’s design was portable and able to withstand high winds and extreme temperatures. Even today, many pastoral families in Mongolia still prefer life in a yurt.
The yurts we have are a modern version of this with full amenities of kitchen bathroom etc. We are located in the lake country of Northern Saskatchewan Canada. You can find more photos or information about yurts on our website http://florabora.ca.
Thank you for the question

yurt?
I live in Colorado and we have Yurts here. Yurts in CO tend to be more rustic, sustainable, easy to build, and small space in the mountains typically. People usually stay in yurts when they're backpacking, skiing, etc. Rather than leaving the mountain and going back to town, the yurt system in CO allows you to keep your adventure going.
Here are some links if you're curious
