What Is the Burrow Yurt?
The Burrow Yurt is a handcrafted 16’ yurt reimagined to feel like a hobbit dwelling designed to look permanent, lived-in, yet easily deployed for an immersive fantasy setting. Built using traditional yurt construction and layered with a thatched roof, curved woodwork, round windows, and a signature hobbit door, it creates the warmth and charm of a lived-in space, while remaining a fully portable structure. It’s fully functional, transportable, and built for real use - combining proven yurt engineering with storybook atmosphere.
“Round, rooted, and at home wherever it lands.”
Designed to Look Permanent (Even When It Isn’t)
At a glance, the Burrow Yurt reads as a permanent dwelling. A thatched roof settled into the landscape, a round wooden doorway worn smooth by time, a small home that belongs exactly where it stands. In reality, it’s a fully portable yurt, designed to be deployed quickly and removed just as cleanly. There’s no foundation, no permanent footprint, and no long-term alteration needed. When it’s in place, it feels rooted and if it’s time to move on, it’s gone.
At the same time, the Burrow Yurt is thoughtfully engineered using proven yurt construction methods, allowing it to be installed, adapted, or redeployed as needs change. This flexibility leaves room for future options, from layered roofing systems to alternative wall materials without locking the structure into a single use or site.
This balance - the look of permanence with the freedom of a yurt - is what makes the Burrow Yurt unique! It can anchor a space for an event, a season, an event, or a story
A Real Yurt Beneath the Magic
Beneath the thatch and curved woodwork, the Burrow Yurt is built on proven yurt construction refined over more than 20 years of hands-on experience.
We’ve designed, built, and installed hundreds of yurts for festivals, faires, immersive events, weddings, and long-term seasonal use. Every detail in the Burrow Yurt, from how the frame is anchored, to where items hang, to how the structure behaves in real weather, comes from that experience.
This isn’t an experiment or a decorative shell. It’s a real yurt built by people who have spent decades living with them, setting them up, breaking them down, and making sure they work when and where it matters.
