Early old snap has island temps in the low 40s during the day. Good news: The insulated yurt and wood stove are holding, meaning this might even be a winter residence. Bad news: Not sure I can split wood fast enough to feed this stove.

Might I ask who you purchased your yurt from, and possibly what size it is? I'm currently looking at Rainier.

The big three in the US are Pacific, Colorado and Rainier (with numerous others). I would have defaulted to Pacific (they're a big name), but they had production backlogs when I ordered it, so went with Colorado. TBH, they're basically indistinguishable at this point.

Service from Colorado was pretty good, and it was slightly cheaper (but not by much). At this point, they both seem to offer the same base product and a la carte upgrades. Happy with mine thus far. Can't complain. The platform is a real pain though. Keep in mind when planning.

Thanks for all the info! The platform is something I'm extremely interested in. I've been looking at the 33' from Rainier and they have an option for SIP panel platforms that are ready to assemble, but it's about twice the price of building it yourself.

Yeah. That's one of their advantages: they sell you the platform. Seems a bit pricey though. Note, the diameter on a Rainier platform is a nominal measurement, and won't work for the other manufacturers.

I can't recall now, but Rainier 24' is actually 23.5 (or maybe goes the other way). Definitely look at their plans.
