While some yurts are commonly found in Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan, travellers may still try it around Glacier National Park. Nestled in the Rockies’ of Montana, tourists who wish to hike through the mountains visit the place as it is one of the desirable activities of the park. If you have a permit, you can even camp on the campsites along the trails! However, I propose trying out the yurts in the area. These yurts are far more modern in style and much more convenient- some with electricity or air-conditioning, as opposed to the traditional yurts used by the nomads in Central Asia. While staying in yurts may be unconventional, its uniqueness is what makes it truly enjoyable and livable. Everything you need to know about living in one may be on the list below. So take the chance and check out these top yurts in and near Glacier National Park, USA.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on May 18, 2024.

7. Glamping in Polebridge, MT near Glacier National Park
What’s a better way to completely enjoy and relax? Stay in a place where there’s no Wi-Fi and completely disconnect yourself from the stress of the hurly-burly city! This yurt is a traditional Mongolian Ger where there’s no electricity and running water. However, the clean drinking water in a container will be handy at the property. Just like some of the yurts you’ll find in town, this private accommodation is only available during the months of June through mid-September. But trust me, these are the best months to enjoy this place! Please do also take note that as it is nestled in the woods, there would be no public transportation present during your visit. I suggest bringing a four-wheel drive to go in and out of the property conveniently!
