We absolutely loved our time at the yurt! It was so cute and comfy plus it was stocked with everything you could possibly imagine you might need: info of the local area, maps, suggested activities, umbrellas, grocery bags, bear spray, etc. Everything! It was a truly wonderful place to stay.
This was one of our favorite stays! We wanted something private and close to the mountains. The biggest positive for us was the location. 20 minutes to airport, downtown, restaurants nearby, and only a 3 minute drive to the Prospect Heights trailhead. We had everything we needed in the yurt. It stayed warm and cozy all week for us inside. Even with the house nearby it felt really private. Donna and her husband Ed made sure we had a comfortable week with them. We can't wait to come back!

Very welcoming, everything was clean and well thought through. Great location!
The yurt was very comfortable and convenient. It sits next to the owner’s house but still felt very private. A moose and its calf were lounging in the front yard when we arrived.
Wonderful property! Beautifully decorated inside and out! Just about everything you could need was available! Great location, easy access to main highways, shopping and restaurants!
Our stay at the Yurt was everything we hoped for. The location was perfect and scenery was so beautiful! Communication and booking was completed with ease. No problems. Highly recommend. Cozy, fun place in scenic Anchorage!

The Yurt was beautiful, everything was perfect. Bonnie was always an e-mail away, even when the lock didnt work when we got back at midnight, she came and let us in. It was the cutest place and stocked for all our needs. Thank you Bonnie!!
We stayed a couple days at this awesome yurt during our Alaska trip. The yurt was awesome. Exactly as advertised. But, even better in person. Communication from the host was great. Would love to stay here again! Even saw Moose nearby. Enjoyed a great hike at Prospect Heights Trailhead which is at the end of the road the yurt is on.
Donna's yurt was a unique, comfortable, and awesome place to stay during our visit to Anchorage! The location is private, quiet, perfect for hiking nearby, and we found anywhere in Anchorage to be just a short drive away. We found it to be equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our mellow moments in and around the yurt while we were there and felt everything was safe while we were out and about. Easy and prompt communication with our host(s). The neighborhood moose are an added bonus! We hope to return.
This yurt was a great place for my family of six to stay for a few nights. It was cozy, had coffee and every necessary amenity. We went skiing every day we stayed there so the small space wasn’t an issue for us. It looks like there is good outside seating area for the summertime that might make the small space work for a large family like ours. From the pictures, I was expecting the yurt to be in a more private location. It is located near a home, but it really didn’t matter in the end. The yurt had unobstructed mountain top views of the city. There is a detached private bathroom which the owners kept wonderfully stocked. Overall, I really enjoyed the yurt and felt it gave us a fun Alaskan experience. We even saw a moose in our backyard! If we need a place to stay in Anchorage again, I will definitely check this yurt out.

What makes this property unique
Private, clean and brand spanking new rental. We love our yurt and know you will as well. A detached bathhouse is updated, new and super clean with full shower, even equipped with a bidet and all sorts of useful items.
