Top 5 yurt retreats in the US
Why would you want to stay in a hotel, motel, inn, or any kind of house when you can choose to live in a tent? Yurts, portable tents made of wooded lattices and covered with felt, have been the accommodation of choice for Mongolian nomads for centuries. In their cultures of origin, yurts have a special significance, but they have been adapted in a somewhat simpler form by Western cultures as well.Many yurt enthusiasts build their yurt varieties using hi-tech materials and different features, but the basics are always the same. So if you want to get a taste of ‘nomadic’ accommodation, try one of the top 5 yurt retreats in the US.

Luana Spa Retreats is a pretty good place to get rid of your stress and exhaustion, and they also have a great yurt where you can spend the night.
The yurt is set up in a beautiful location, perched on a hill and overlooking Hana Bay. It is also quite spacious, simple yet very cozy and nicely decorated.
Frost Mountain Yurts, Maine
The yurts on Frost Mountain are not exactly the height of comfort, but they are certainly more authentic than any luxury yurt you might find. The yurts have no water or electricity, only some basic sleeping arrangements, some simple furniture and some bare necessities. Staying here really means getting away from it all: just you and nature, as basic as it gets.
