AJC reporter Helena Oliviero recently stayed at a yurt at Cloudland Canyon State Park with her family, including husband Brian Feagans and daughter Isabel, and some friends. Click through for a taste of yurt camping in Georgia.

Mira Donsky and Isabel Feagans play in the bunk bed of our yurt.

Yurts are circular dwellings, somewhere between tents and cottages. They have real furniture, and at Cloudland Canyon, this includes bunkbeds and hand-carved wooden tables that look like pieces of art.

My husband, Brian, snaps a photo of me enjoying some quiet in our cozy yurt at Cloudland Canyon state park.

Tali, Mira and Isabel prepare for a performance inside the yurt.

Mira, Isabel and Tali find a cave. Fun!

Isabel and Mira run across a wooden bridge, eager to see what's next as we step outside our yurt to hike and explore.

My husband Brian Feagans, glamping it up in our yurt. He got everything set up on our pretty wooden table: wine, coffee maker, board games.

The bunk bed in the yurt is plenty comfortable for sleeping, especially after a long hike and lots of relaxing outside.

Made of wood and canvas, the elevated yurts at Cloudland are weather-tight, built with wood flooring, and designed to ensure that wildlife stays outside.

Mira Donsky, 8, gives her yurt a thumbs up.

Mira Donsky, 8, is not just a troll. She is a 'yurt troll.'

Up high, Mira, Tali and Isabel marvel at the amazing view.
