I LOVE yurts! My partner built his own and lived in it for 7 years. He now works for Rainier's yurt division. The original yurt was sold due to a move from Wisconsin's northwoods to Seattle in order to take the position with Rainier. His goal is for us to be back in a yurt in 3 years. It is true about the open connection to the natural world. Being in a traditional home now feels like I am cut off and isolated compared the way I feel in a yurt.

Thanks for the comments! I'm in a life style move back towards living more in touch with the natural world.
Next time I am up in Seattle I'll stop by Rainier Yurts for a tour.
