Where To Go Yurt Glamping In Oregon

We know them as Manyatta in Kenya; those circular structures common in the Eastern Province and among the Nomadic people in the country. They are simple thatched homesteads that bring about the cultural feel of a clan. Synonymous with Africa, the Manyattas are also common in other parts of the world, here, known as the yurts. These circular dwellings are a favorite for those seeking a unique family bliss. Here are environmentally friendly yurts for your glamping experience in Oregon, the U.S.

Unique yurt in Tillamook

Glampers are in for a one-of-a-kind getaway in this secluded yurt with panoramic bay views. The design is a contemporary twist on the traditional yurt used by Central Asian nomads. It features classic yurt elements such as lattice walls and radial rafters, but with a dash of luxury. It can sleep up to four guests, two in the separate bedroom, and two on the futon. The bedroom has a bespoke handmade alder queen-size bed sitting under a clear dome to watch the moon and stars above.

The spacious, open floor plan includes a classic domed ceiling, hardwood floors, and a cozy gas fireplace where you can enjoy reading books from the filled shelves. Bring out your cookery skills in the onsite kitchen or cook up a storm on the charcoal grill. You can also opt to relax by the fire pit, before jumping in the five-person hot tub for an evening of stargazing. This modern yurt has all the charm of traditional camping but with all the luxurious facilities glampers could dream of. Netflix on those lazy nights and keep connected to the rest of the world with the free Wi-Fi.
