Yurts are appealing because they are a circular structure with a diffuser cap on top that acts like a soft skylight. They are one room, unlike some cabins, and very open in feel. They feel more like a very nice tent on a raised wooden platform. If you don’t like tent camping, you should probably stick with the solid-walled cabins.

Yes, our yurt was like a very high quality tent — thick waterproof canvas over a large wood frame. A lot of yurts I’ve seen online are one big room, but ours was actually divided into 3 rooms. One half of the yurt was one semicircular open area which included the kitchen, breakfast nook and family room. Then the two bedrooms were each partitioned off (although there was no separate ceiling). Finally, there was a bathroom that was completely separated from the other rooms. Well, I mean there was a door and all, but ...
It did have the skylight which was visible from all rooms except the bathroom.
Oh, I forgot to mention, the yurt also had its own clothes washer & dryer. Whoever set it up really did amazing things with the space they had. They found a way to fit so much in, but it never felt cramped, just cute/elegant & cozy.
