There was a blizzard while I was visiting. The host reached out to make sure we were safe and offered us some tire cables if needed. Very thoughtful. Clean and beautiful living space. Thank you!
The place was beautiful. It was clean, fully stocked and well maintained. Convene stop. To Ester Dome and viewing. The only not so great was the hot water didn’t last more than 20 minutes.
We came to see the Northern Lights and enjoy Fairbanks. The Aurora Yurt was a great place to retreat to at the end of a long adventure filled day. It was also great for viewing the Aurora right out the front door
Super relaxing, lovely yurt for a short trip to Fairbanks. We were lucky enough to see the aurora from right out front. The location is great, easy access to town for food etc, but removed enough to have a quiet trip.
If you have the opportunity to stay in the Aurora Yurt, do it! Most beautiful, and comfortable place we stayed! The Aurora was spectacular, sunrise and sunsets were a close second. This place is thoughtfully arranged and maintained! Loved it!
The yurt was clean, spacious and comfortable. It had all of the amenities of home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and hope to do it again next year!
Having never been in a yurt we had no idea what to expect but we were up for trying new things. When we walked in the door we were surprised by the size … a full kitchen very well stocked …2 bedrooms and a loft! And a full size bathroom w washer/ dryer. Beds were very comfortable.. everything’s was very cute. You’re up in the trees which is what we love but you’re still close to town. We were lucky enough to be able to view the lights which actually Colleen messaged us to let us know so we wouldn’t have missed them. If you love being in the trees and want a relaxing unique experience this yurt will not disappoint!
We loved staying here! Colleen was great with ongoing communication, including detailed directions & checking in. We arrived to a warm, cozy, & spacious place with twinkle lights, lamps & candles welcoming us. The bed was comfy & the morning sunrise out the front door/windows was beautiful! We highly recommend this to anyone who wants a peaceful, out-of-city getaway!
The hosts were super proactive and attentive before and during our stay! Their recommendations were marvelous and the view was breathtaking! I'd recommend here in a heartbeat!
