All these images are from when the yurt was new. The yurt is currently disassembled. It has been stored under a tarp in the cedar platform for 5 years.
This weekend (11/20-23) I’ll be opening the tarp, inspecting for damage, and partially assembling the yurt to air it out and take some pictures. If we get more snow, I’ll pack it back up.
If you’re interested, give me a call, come and look at it RIGHT NOW.
