With summer fully upon most of the country, let’s celebrate one of the best tiny houses for enjoying the outdoors. We’ve covered numerous yurts in the past, but Becky Kemery a.k.a.”The Yurt Lady” and her book, Yurts: Living in the Round, shows how these structures can be comfortable and elegant while still letting in the outdoors.

Becky has lived in yurts for many years in the mountains of the American Northwest. Her book was completed a few years ago while living in her own portable fabric yurt on a permaculture homestead in Idaho. She has also created an educational website called Yurt Info, a newsletter and a Facebook page for other yurt owners and fans of the wood and fabric buildings. The Yurt Info site offers information on how to buy or build a yurt, and includes a forum and links to numerous yurt videos and photo albums.

Craigslist is showing two wooden yurts for sale at a bargain price of $3,500 each. Here is the listing on Craigslist.

You can learn more about the company at Yurt People. The company is located in Talmage, California just outside of Ukiah. These are tiny yurts but I think they would make a great tiny house.

These yurts are on sale because they were built a few years ago and never set up. The prices includes all materials except the foundation and the interior siding.

Please call Miguel 707-799-8595 or email picaflor@earthlink.net

Below are some photos of a couple of the style yurt that is for sale that have been completely finished. The above appears to be just a basic shell that requires completion.

If you purchase one of these please let me know as I would enjoy posting your story of what you do with it and how it is completed. Thank you.
