A Pet yurt house is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and escape from your busy life with your furry friend by your side. This unique, traditional lodging option was first adopted by nomadic tribes in Central Asia more than 2,000 years ago and is now available for travelers looking to experience the great outdoors in a new and exciting way.
Yurts are round, tent-like structures that are usually a little over two meters high with a domed roof that extends another meter or so above them. The lattice-like walls of a yurt are made up of strips of wood or other material that are assembled in a crisscross pattern.
The main purpose of a yurt is to provide a safe and comfortable home for nomads. Yurts have been the primary style of home in Mongolia, and other parts of Central Asia, for thousands of years.
Yurts are also used by herders in the steppe region of Turkey, Hungary, and Romania. However, the traditional yurt culture is threatened by climate change that has affected the country’s weather patterns. The dzud, a dry summer that leads to harsh winters, is becoming more common in this area, and yurts are being forced to move to cities to survive.
Glamping (glamorous camping) is a growing trend among vacationers, and yurts offer an affordable, environmentally-friendly alternative to pitching a tent in the wilderness. Some yurts even offer luxury amenities, including heated floors, indoor bathrooms, and outdoor kitchens.
Some yurts have bunk beds that sleep up to five people, and others have one double-over-full-size futon bed. In addition to sleeping accommodations, yurts often come equipped with natural gas heaters, electric outlets, and a counter top.
