The shift towards minimalism, towards slowing down and grounding ourselves in a life that is more to our liking - is more than fashionable, it is necessary. Slowly but surely, as one by one we awaken to the fulfillment of a less stressful, lighter-impact lifestyle, so also we lessen our collective stress and the stress of the planet. There is a groundswell of interest in smaller, more sustainable housing and structures. Few can match the ancient 'ger,' which we now call a yurt, for beauty, simplicity, and affordability.

Why Blue Ridge Yurts?

Blue Ridge Yurts is a woman-owned and operated company in the Blue Ridge mountains of Floyd, Virginia. We design and fashion the woodworks and sew the canvas to the highest quality standards, and by limiting production are able to offer personalized services and unique design elements that other companies cannot. Your yurt can be tailored to include 10' tall walls, allowing for fully livable loft spaces. Our ability to custom sew interior and exterior walls allow you the choice of either sewn in vinyl windows or glass windows of your own size and choosing. We will work with you to answer any questions you may have throughout the process, and our team is available to assist with any of the steps, from deck planning through to the raising of your new yurt.

Blue Ridge Yurts is the #1 supplier of yurts east of the Mississippi. The central location of Floyd makes for convenient pick-up or delivery to the entire Atlantic region. Throughout our years in business, we've built hundreds of yurts for satisfied customers who have used them for private residences, commercial venues, classrooms, studios, Airbnb rentals, and lodgings in State parks across the Southeast.
