A Yurt is a roundlike, sometimes portable, wood lattice framed structure. Yurts were first discovered in Mongolia and in Central Asia, build by nomadic cultures. Today in Maine, you can find them and even stay in one. Typically located in or near outdoor treasures, such as forests and lakes, it a perfect place to rent for the family.
