Beautiful property nestled in the woods above Anchorage. Very quiet, well equipped with anything you would need, beds were comfortable, no issues whatsoever so ever. Easy to find, close parking, would love to rent again if we were in the Alaska area. Bathroom is next to the yurt, about 30 steps away on a very nice boardwalk. Could not say enough good about this accommodation and the price was perfect!!!Great for a couple or family with 1 or 2 small children. Small, but cozy!!!A

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.

A Great Place to Stay in Anchorage

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.

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!

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!!

Dad and sons trip

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.

Hillside Anchorage yurt

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.
