Originating from the nomadic groups of Central Asia, yurts have become a popular shelter option because of the ease in which they can be set up and transported. What’s more, these dome-like structures can be dressed up and furnished to be as comfortable and as glamorous as you want them to be. These qualities have made yurts a favorite for those who want to go glamping, and these structures have even made their way to unconventional tourist destinations. Check out this list of the 13 best yurts in Alaska, USA, ranging from rustic to luxurious.
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 August 20, 2024.
