What is a Mongolian Yurt?
A yurt - or ger - is the home of the Mongolian nomads. Its history dates back thousands of years and yurts are still widely in use year-round across Mongolia. Our beautiful traditional yurts are made using mostly natural products, hand-crafted by a Mongolian family on the principle of fair trade. Gers are sustainable, leaving no footprint and are comprised of organic materials like felt insulation and horse hair ropes.
Toono (Dome)
The most sacred part of the Mongolian yurt, connecting the earth to the sky! The toono holds the yurt together, and is customizable to different finishes.
Top & Side Covers
The traditional yurt walls and roof are covered with fabric & materials that come in a range of durability options, all built to withstand harsh weather conditions.
Yurt Insulation
Your traditional yurt usually comes with one complete layer of Mongolian felt insulation (sheep wool). Depending on your location and purposes, you may want to add a second layer for your yurt.
Yurt Structure
The core structural components - all made of wood (Tamarack and Siberian pine) - include the dome (toono), the central poles (bagaans who support the toono), as well as the huns (rafters) and lattice walls (khaanas).
The Platform
Mongolian yurts are not built into the ground! They float on a circular platform (optional) which is easily transported & assembled yet holds well with the overall structure.

our yurts are used all around the world!
The yurts are my little tanks, as I like to call them... They’re not going anywhere. Super safe and super fun to be in, especiallyin a storm. Really cozy.
You can lay in your bed, staring out the toono, and see the skies right from inside of your yurt. You walk in and you are blown away by the colours and beauty. A work of art you can actually live in!
We own a small glamping business which we have been building over the last few years and have been fortunate enough to have purchased the first 3 super gers, and then our 4th from Groovy Yurts — and we plan for more in the near future!
From start to finish, their customer service is fantastic! Everyone on the team, from sales to setup, is both personable and knowledgeable about their product. They are passionate about the authenticity of their yurts and are always keen to share the history, connection to Mongolia, its people, and the importance of honouring their traditions — information that we pass on to our guests — and they love it!
We cannot recommend this company enough!
I am the Manager of a Campground here in Nova Scotia, Canada. I recently purchased a 5 wall 20ft Yurt from Groovy Yurts. The experience has been great from start to finish. The staff that delivered the Yurt were very informative, easy to work with and very professional.
The yurt itself is amazing and has been well received by all. Just with word of mouth this groovy yurt has been booked up every weekend and beyond.
We recently had a rain and thunder and lightning storm that brought 90-plus inches of rain. We had a young family staying in the yurt at the time, they loved the experience and the yurt handled it no problem.
Thank You Groovy Yurts!!
Our business dealings with the team at Groovy Yurts has been beyond first class. We are proud owners of 3 of their yurts and have had them going on 2 full years. The sales, support, and installation were beyond great. Every time we had any issues, we received follow up immediately.
Not only are the yurts beautiful, but they are warm and have amazing acoustics. As an aside I am a licensed wedding officiant and performed a wedding in one last year.
We will buy more yurts from Groovy Yurts in the future!
Yves was an absolute gem to work with! He gave us so much information about our yurts and was instrumental in helping us understand everything about them so that we would feel comfortable constructing more and maintaining the 6 we have!
We love everything about them, the natural materials, the hand-painted wood, and the sustainability. They are a work of art. Yves made the process seamless from start to finish. He consulted with us on our project for hours and personally came on-site to help us put up our first two. He even came back at the end of the project to make sure everything was done the way we needed it to be and troubleshoot a finicky issue until it was perfect.
We couldn’t ask for better service!
The Groovy Yurts team is top-notch! We have 23 Groovy Yurts at our glamping resort in the Texas Hill Country, and we couldn’t be happier with them. The quality of the yurts is simply the best and the beauty of the yurts speaks for itself.
Yves and his team have very detailed training videos and instructions for setting up and maintaining the yurt. We are grateful to the whole group for providing fantastic service and giving back to their world community at the same time!
5 Stars from us at The Yurtopian!
