Whats it like to live in a yurt?

The feel of the yurt is wonderful. The space is homey, warm and light. Most people are initially surprised at how comfortable it is here and they often seem disappointed that we aren't roughing it a bit more! We have enough "space" to live in one big room despite different sleep schedules and habits. We like to joke that we have the largest kitchen of anyone we know, and the largest bedroom, etc. etc. We have a garage on the site that holds all of our woodworking equipment and extra stuff. Without that, we'd be really cramped in here.
