Description: This 32 ft traditional canvas yurt is a beautiful one-of-a-kind 4-season yurt inspired by nature. It has been modified for the West Coast climate by adding a shingled roof, wooden siding, and extra insulation. From the outside, it looks like a round cabin but the interior still looks exactly like a yurt with canvas covers, lattice walls, and wooden roof rafters. To find out more and to stay at Tal and Nao's beautiful yurt on Vancouver Island, BC: airbnb.ca/rooms/39029099 honeygrove.ca The yurt is inspired by Elvin architecture from The Lord of the Rings, with some intricately hand-carved elements including the impressive front door and the spiral staircase. The open concept interior is bright and filled with plants, and it’s also a fully functional living space with a full kitchen, dining room, bathroom, living room and a loft bedroom. There's also an addition with another bedroom, and a small utility room with a washing machine and extra storage space. Adam Szoke is the green building wood artist who assembled the yurt, renovated it, and made the beautiful door, spiral staircase, and railing!
