Bucket List item--checked!

Everything we'd hoped for. Awesome yurt, very well appointed and comfortable. Our host was awesome. Truly a wealth of information from how to best navigate the brutal cold snap to attractions and places to visit. I don't believe our Northern Lights viewing experience would have been as good if not for her advice. Thank you! Thank you!

Absolutely Perfect!!

We could not be happier with our stay here! Even though the Northern Lights eluded us, the yurt made up for it! Soaking in the jacuzzi at the main house with the snow all around you was so much fun! Clean, well stocked, warm, excellent ideas and easy communication with the owner…. You couldn’t ask for more. If I ever make it back to Alaska I would definitely want to stay here again.

Great spot!

My mom and I loved staying in this yurt! It was much bigger than we expected, and had every comfort of home that we could have asked for. It was a very comfortable stay with a gorgeous view above Fairbanks. We had bad weather luck for the northern lights but enjoyed getting several inches of snow.

Home away from home

This is our second time staying here. It’s large and comfy and has everything you need. The washer and dryer are so nice to have! The location is perfect. Close enough to town and far enough out to see the northern lights from the porch. Love this place!

Great place to stay...highly recommend

This yurt was a highlight of our stay in Fairbanks. Its truly a unique property in its location and design. My 17 yr old daughter loved staying in the upstairs loft with an open view to the night sky and we had daily visits from a mom & baby moose that we were able to watch from the front porch. Highly recommend.
