Our family of four had a great time staying at this yurt! It was very cozy and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The host was very kind and communicative as well. We'll definitely be back!
Great location in the hills outside Fairbanks. The yurt was well appointed and met our needs: comfortable beds, kitchen equipped for basic needs, and the use of the hot tub was delightful after a day of hiking. Colleen was very helpful and quickly responded to our queries. We would stay here again!
We had everything we needed and were hoping to see the aurora, but it just wasn't in the cards for us. But I can see how this location would be great for that. The beds were comfortable. Several hiking trails nearby. We'd recommend this rental.
Wonderful place to stay away from the city. A bit of a drive up the mountain but great views. Coleen was wonderful and alerted us when the aurora was visible. I would definitely stay again!
We loved staying at the yurt. It was very comfortable and cozy. The view from the yurt was really nice. One morning we could see snow peaked mountains in the distance. Would highly recommend staying here.
Oh man—what a beautiful setting and great little Yurt! Great host communication! Close enough fur Fairbanks to access everything (20 minutes) but far enough away to enjoy nature! AMAZING view off front deck! Looking to rebook for Auroras in the spring!
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.
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!
Comfortable cabin with a fabulous view! The yurt was cute and cozy and well stocked with games, books and movies. Colleen was so nice and very helpful. We would stay again if we make it back up here!!
A truly Alaskan experience. Rustic but with all the amenities. Great location outside of town that makes for a beautiful drive, but close enough so you don’t feel isolated. Great host and communication.
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.
We didn't use the hot tub. The host brought a blender for us to use for morning smoothies. There was a coffee maker but no coffee. Otherwise, the kitchen was well equipped.
The yurt was incredibly cozy, even in -20F! Colleen has a binder full of food and activity recommendations in the area. She also has snowshoes you can borrow to check out trails in the area. We loved watching the sun rise over the Alaska range from the deck and even saw the Northern lights right from the driveway!
Colleen and the yurt were Amazing!! We loved every minute of our stay. The yurt was clean and well stocked. We absolutely loved our time on the deck. Although it was early for the auroras, Colleen kept us well informed on the forecast. Thank you for an amazing time and I truly hope to be back.
