Certified World Record Yurt

World's Largest
Yurt (by bedrooms)

Official World Record

The World's Largest Yurt by bedrooms is near Shenandoah and Luray Caverns.

Luray Yurt holds the Official World Record title for Most Bedrooms in a Non-Collapsible Yurt. The certificate recognizes 6 fully enclosed bedrooms inside one continuous, permanent, round yurt structure on a fixed foundation in Luray, Virginia. Every full bedroom has a king-size bed, so the claim is not padded with bunk rooms, tiny beds, or curtain-divided sleeping corners.

What the world record means

For guests, the record matters because the scale is actually usable: six private king bedrooms, not bunk rooms or sleeping corners dressed up as bedrooms.

The home also includes three full bathrooms, three additional sleeping areas, a loft, a private theater, a game room, and large gathering spaces designed for families, retreats, and group stays.

Guinness vs OWR clarification

This is an Official World Record certification, not a Guinness floor-area claim. Larger non-collapsible yurts exist by square footage, so our public claim stays precise: World's Largest Yurt by bedrooms.

How it was verified

Official World Record reviewed property visuals, floor-plan documentation, a witness statement, and construction confirmation materials. The guest-facing proof is simple: one permanent yurt, one fixed foundation, six full king bedrooms, and a certificate recognizing the record category.

Why guests care

The record is not just a plaque. It explains why Luray Yurt feels different from a normal cabin rental: a round cathedral great room, six private king bedrooms, resort-style entertainment, a private pond, and enough space for groups to stay together under one roof.
