Necessary pre-decision info

Is this a traditional log cabin or a yurt?

This is a modern engineered yurt with a circular timber frame, insulated walls and roof, and a performance exterior fabric instead of siding or shingles. It behaves like a small cabin in daily use.

Can I live in a yurt cabin year-round in California?

Yes, many owners live year-round in hot, cold and snowy climates when the insulation and HVAC are specified correctly.

Do I need permits for a cabin yurt in California?

Permits vary by county. Some treat yurts as permanent buildings, others as temporary. We supply drawings. You check what applies to your land.
