What is a Yurt, and Why Would You Want to Rent One in Colorado?

Two years ago I had never heard of a yurt. What exactly are they? According to fieldmag.com:

Somewhere between a tent and a prefab cabin, these bad boys are built using ancient techniques, handed down through generations of nomadic tribes. Built to withstand extreme climates, portable, and spacious, they may just be the unsung hero of outdoor accommodations.

Out of all the camping options, why would you want to rent a yurt? Fieldmag.com adds, "Yurts are circular structures that are assembled much like a tent. They are sturdy shelters that work well in extreme weather conditions. These structures are usually constructed from all-natural material, and thus their construction has a small carbon footprint." Okay, that works. For those of us in Colorado who aren't exactly camping enthusiasts, a yurt might be the perfect fit.

Where Can You Find a Yurt in Colorado?

Looking at Glampinghub.com, it appears yurts are abundant in Western Colorado. They appear to be very popular around Cedaredge, Paonia, Carbondale, even as far south as Durango.

How Much Does it Cost to Rent a Yurt in Colorado?

Looking at one yurt near Grand Junction, the rental fees run $246 per night. This particular option requires a minimum of two nights. Looking at another unit in the San Juans, it runs $250 per night.
