Looking for a getaway in the great outdoors, but don’t want to “ruff” it? A stay in a dog-friendly yurt is the remote retreat you’ve been looking for. These traditional homes were first adopted in Central Asia more than 2,000 years ago, providing nomadic tribes with somewhere to stay when shelter was scarce. Nowadays, you and your pooch can escape the stress of modern life and still enjoy the lap of luxury at one of these awesome pet-friendly Airbnb yurts.
Pet-Friendly Airbnb Yurts
Posted by Billy Francis
Superior Yurt
Fido will be welcomed with a basket of goodies to use during his stay at this yurt in Two Harbors. The hand-built home is surrounded by towering pine and aspen trees and will make you feel miles away from the rest of the world. Relax with your pooch around the fire pit, test out the sauna, borrow a yoga mat for meditation, and explore the waterways with the host’s foldable kayaks. There are also miles of hiking trails nearby and Gooseberry Falls State Park, one of the best dog-friendly state parks in the Midwest, is just a short drive away.
Three-Story Blue Ridge Yurt Getaway
Experience the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia at this three-story yurt. One of the most unique domiciles on our list, it sprawls over three floors and even has a fenced pen and heated dog house. During your stay, wander the pet-friendly wooded pathways on three private acres in the heart of Appalachia. Then, on the route back to your home away from home, stop off at the property’s zip line and whizz through the forest canopy while Fido watches safely from the ground below.
Yurt Sanctuary on Biodynamic Farm
The folks at Lightforce Sanctuary invite guests to “take a walk and find their light.” Demonstrating the value of self-sufficiency, Certified Mindful Outdoor Guide Cathy has turned the acreage surrounding her working organic farm into a relaxing retreat. Explore 130 acres on pet-friendly trails through luscious fields and woodlands to a spring-fed pond. The yurt is solar-powered, surrounded by nature and has a skylight for astronomers to enjoy at night.
Arizona Nordic Village
Located just 15 miles from downtown Flagstaff, Nordic Village feels a million miles away. Sleep in a small frontcountry yurt near the entrance, or get truly off the beaten path and escape to the large backcountry yurts. You’ll know you’ve made it on the woodland trail when you see a lovely meadow and a secluded canvas with a gently smoking chimney. No matter which yurt you choose, you’ll be completely off-grid, but don’t worry, you’ll still be close to creature comforts at the Nordic Village Lodge.
Yurt Near Kingdom Trails
Extreme canines who love mountain biking will relish a stay at this yurt near Kingdom Trails. Less than a two-mile bike ride from over 100 miles of multi-use outdoor pathways, this miniature crib in the countryside is perfect for thrill-seeking Shepherds. The yurt area is equipped with a fire pit, grill and rustic outhouse. Spend time exploring the 38-acre property with Fido and enjoy beautiful views of Burke Mountain. While you’re in the area, don’t miss the opportunity to visit Dog Mountain in nearby St. Johsbury.
Lotus Belle Luxury Yurt
Tucked away on a quiet hill on over eight acres, Lotus Belle Luxury Yurt offers a peaceful escape in The Peach State. Cuddle up inside the bohemian tent which features a plush queen bed, a couch, and a TV, or gather around the campfire outside to roast s’mores. During mealtime, grill up something delicious and find a spot in the covered outdoor dining area, then snuggle with Fido in the outdoor living room with a chiminea and warming blanket. The luxury hurt has access to a heated boho bathhouse, too.
Colorado Riverfront Yurt
Glamping doesn’t get any better than this riverfront yurt in Marble Falls. Put your paws up next to Fido on the large deck which includes dining and sitting areas, then cuddle up around the campfire on the banks of the Colorado River, or soak in the hot tub while your pup naps. There’s also a luxurious partially outdoor bathroom, two kayaks for guest use, and six acres to explore with your pooch. You’ll have everything you need for a delicious meal right on the property, but if you want to go out, bring Fido along for dinner at Doc’s Fish Camp and Grill.
Devil’s Mountain Yurt
Escape to the woods with Fido and stay at Devil’s Mountain Yurt between Seattle and Bellingham. Nestled between trees, this cozy Airbnb features a covered front deck, a heated queen-sized bed, a Solo stove, and a composting bathroom. You and your pup will have convenient access to lakes, trails, fishing, skiing and more, all within 10 minutes of the yurt. If you have time during your stay, head into downtown Mount Vernon for breakfast on the beautiful patio of Calico Cupboard Old Town Cafe & Bakery.
The Cazador Yurt
Just a few miles from Hollywood and downtown Los Angeles, pups looking for a change of pace from city life can book a stay at the Cazador Yurt in Mount Washington. Situated on a half-acre lot and surrounded by fruit trees, this bohemian SoCal glamping space is ideal for travelers visiting L.A., or locals looking to unwind. The outdoor shower features a tankless water heater and rainfall shower head, a conical skylight lets light in above the bed, and hammocks and a fire pit make the outdoor space cozy and comfortable.
