12 foot--cozy or too small?

[Sir Yurtsalot]

Hello Yurt Nation!

I am embarking on my yurt dream at long last. I'm in Alaska, so planning to get the whole

insulation

package which comes at a pretty penny and means I'm likely looking at the 12' as far as my budget goes (going up to 14 adds $2400.) Have any of you successfully lived in a 12'? Was it unbearably small? Does anyone have photos or video of one actually being lived in? I've lived in campers and other very small spaces and don't need a huge amount of room, but I just want a reality check. Any insights welcome.
