About Us 

The Autonomous Tent® Co. was originally founded in 2012 to design the world’s first transportable 5-star boutique hotel that would be located in secluded natural locations for a season at a time. The hotel would be completely powered by the sun and wind and utilize the most advanced water filtration and composting technology. Our commitment to landowners and land conservancies was to “leave without a trace.”

As we began designing our hotel, we gradually realized that we were creating something bigger. We were creating a new form of architecture that would allow us to enjoy the most beautiful places anywhere in the world without destroying our delicate ecosystems. We love seeing the evolution of an idea and simply shifted our focus from creating a transportable hotel to the Autonomous Tent.

While often compared to yurts, the Autonomous Tent® is a modern design with open floor plans, soaring ceilings, and grand entryways to showcase property views. The high tech manufacturing process ensures absolute precision providing simple installation and a tight seal between fabric, frame, and deck, which typically cannot be accomplished with a yurt, making the structure look and feel more permanent.
