A Truly Authentic Mongolian Experience in the Heart of Northern Alberta

Step into a world where tradition meets tranquility at Yurt Beautiful, a handcrafted Mongolian yurt nestled in the peaceful boreal forest just 15 minutes north of Grimshaw, Alberta. This one-of-a-kind stay offers guests the rare opportunity to sleep in an authentic yurt built using centuries-old techniques by Mongolian nomadic tribes.

Every detail of Yurt Beautiful reflects this cultural heritage—camel hide connects the lattice walls, horsehair ropes hold the yurt’s shape, and wool from sheep insulates the cozy interior. The hand-painted woodwork, lovingly created by the women of the tribe, includes the toono (the crown of the yurt), the huns (roof poles), and the intricately designed doors.

This 20-foot yurt is both rustic and comfortable, equipped with a queen bed and a trundle daybed, perfect for up to four guests. Inside, you’ll find a dining table, solar-powered LED lighting, and a charging port for your phone. The yurt is perched on a forested platform with a wraparound deck and a private walkway to the washroom.

Wake up to a homemade breakfast, included for two guests with your stay. With advanced notice, you can also enjoy lunch and dinner, thoughtfully prepared to accommodate dietary preferences and allergies—including vegetarian options.

While there are no cooking facilities on-site, Yurt Beautiful invites you to relax, unplug, and connect with nature. Directly across the road is the Lac Cardinal Point Uplands Conservation Area, a 623-acre expanse of uplands, wetlands, and riparian zones teeming with wildlife—from moose and deer to black bears and waterfowl. If you’re lucky, you might even stumble upon a patch of wild strawberries in the summer months.

Season: Open from Victoria Day weekend through the end of September
Booking Availability: Tuesday through Sunday
Rate: $150.00 CAD per night (includes breakfast for two)
Evening Meals: Available by advance request; menu provided upon booking

If you’re looking for a unique stay that blends cultural richness with serene wilderness, Yurt Beautiful is your perfect escape.
