Our Yurts
Story Behind The Yurts
The yurts at Riverside Oasis Farm & Retreat are a meaningful part of the property’s story. Long before the business was established, the original founders envisioned having yurts as a guest experience - an idea inspired by their time living and working in Kazakhstan. Though they couldn’t source yurts directly from there, they discovered Groovy Yurts, a Canadian company that imports hand-crafted yurts from Mongolia. These authentic structures were brought to life on the farm, offering guests a unique and memorable stay rooted in nomadic tradition.
Today, we’re proud to carry that legacy forward. The yurts offer the same magic, authenticity, and connection to nature that first inspired their place on the property. While the story of how they arrived here belongs to those who came before us, we are honoured to continue sharing the experience with each new guest.
We're excited to add our own chapter to the Riverside Oasis story while continuing to offer this truly special style of accommodation.

“What a getaway! Our stay in the Kandy yurt was a perfect way to decompress. Lots of firewood was available to heat the yurt and visiting with the animals was probably my favourite part. We appreciated the farm tour and enjoyed learning about the farm and the animals. We can’t wait to book again for when the weather is warmer! - Zorka Lane”

“We had such a great time at Riverside Oasis Farm. The yurt was nice and warm when we arrived and my children loved the experience of feeding all the animals. There was a great setup of cooking equipment and the provided eggs were a wonderful way to further connect with the farm. Assyl was a lovely host and provided our family with a wonderful local "escape." Highly recommend in any season.”
The Caspian Yurt
The tallest of our yurts, Caspian has the same diameter as Lyla and Kandy but is taller and feels even more spacious. Coloured in Mongolian blue with traditional patterns on the Bagaans (central poles) and the Huns (roof rafters) the interior is subtly decorated to compliment the traditional colour scheme.
