A Quality Product, a Quality Experience
From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leader
How does a company grow from an old Oregon dairy barn to becoming the leader of an entire industry?
In our case, we began by creating the industry itself. In 1978, we pioneered the modern adaptation of the traditional Mongolian yurt. From that moment forward — as other yurt companies have come and gone — we’ve continued to grow and remain at the forefront.
Our success comes from several key factors, but above all, the quality of our product and the strength of our customer relationships. Customers praise their yurts — but they also speak highly of their experience working with us. For everyone at Pacific Yurts, that is the greatest compliment we could receive.
From the beginning, our philosophy has been simple: build the best yurt in the world and treat our customers the way we want to be treated — professionally, respectfully, fairly, and honestly.
“If the rest of the world conducted their business like you do, the world would be a far better place. I have done business with many companies in my days and yours sits at the top like a shining star.”
