Glamping yurts have become extremely popular over the last few years as many people look to the outdoors for an escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. When it comes to glamping, Shelter Designs yurts are the very best accommodation available to enjoy nature, plus all the comforts of home.
Whether you’re interested in a glamping yurt for your own vacation or want to start or expand a glamping business with commercial yurts, this guide will help you explore the possibilities.
What is a Glamping Yurt?
As modern life moves faster and faster, many people are looking for a way to step back and reconnect with nature. But for some, sleeping on the ground in a thin tent isn’t ideal.
That’s where glamping yurts come in. With a yurt, you can:
- Experience the sounds and feel of nature
- Stay warm, dry, and comfortable year-round
- Enjoy modern luxuries such as:
- Plush bedding
- Kitchens
- Full bathrooms
Shelter Designs yurts combine the rustic beauty of the outdoors with the comfort of modern living.
Glamping Yurts for Business
If you’re looking to add yurts to an existing glamping business or launch a new one, yurts provide a year-round, comfortable space for guests to enjoy nature in style.
Compared to other tents like wall tents, bell tents, and tipis, Shelter Designs yurts offer unique advantages:
- Can be insulated for all-season comfort
- Engineered and analyzed for snow and wind loads
- Do not need to be taken down in winter
- Can be upgraded with features such as:
- Operable glass windows
- French doors
- Skylights
Steps to Get Started With a Yurt Business
- Select your site
- Budget for yurt cost and site preparation
- Review building and energy code requirements
- Move forward with your design and upgrades
Once you’ve covered the basics, the fun part begins—bringing your yurt business to life.
