# Smiling Woods Yurts

> Smiling Woods Yurts designs and manufactures premium round home kits — yurt-inspired, permanent panelized structures built from precision-machined solid wood and shipped worldwide from Winthrop, Washington. Building a round home starts with a real conversation: call (833) 746-7607. In pursuit of a well-rounded life.

Smiling Woods Yurts builds round homes, not traditional fabric yurts. These are permanent, code-compliant structures engineered for full-time living, short-term rentals, wellness studios, classrooms, and more. Each kit is highly configurable: five diameters serve as starting points, with wall heights from 8 to 16 ft, loft options, second and third stories, and tandem configurations connected by breezeways. The permutations are extensive — the best way to understand what's possible is to call the team directly at (833) 746-7607 or schedule a call at smilingwoodsyurts.com/calendar.

All kits ship as panelized building packages from the factory in Winthrop, WA, typically within 1–2 weeks of entering production. Kits are engineered to meet code requirements for wind, seismic rating, snow load, and extreme weather. Round home design is inherently efficient — fewer materials per square foot, tighter building envelope, and 15–20% better energy efficiency than comparable rectangular structures.
