I have had wonderful yurt stays in Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan. They are really quite versatile – open up the roof hole if it isn’t raining to cool it off. Heats up really nice (yak dung in a stove works well). Felt sucks up the rain (although if it pours, it starts to drip, but waterproofing would need to be done). Not sure what you’d do about plumbing. We relied on digging a hole or using an outhouse. Yurts aren’t huge, to put in perspective room to put 5-6 smallish twin beds back to back in a circle, with a table in the middle. An awesome way to do this is actually go to Mongolia and have one made, see how to construct or unconstruct it. I’ve heard really good ones cost in the neighborhood of $4000 but I’m not sure how much it would cost to ship.
