Very clean and neat. Experience was great and near all the awesome places we wanted to see. Cozy living space but can get noisy with a lot of rain.

We loved our stay at the Yurt, I wish we could have stayed longer! You had everything we could have possibly needed. The bed was comfy, it was so nice to be able to do laundry and cook dinner. I'd stay here again for sure. Thank you for being a great host.

We love the fact that it was so remote! Google maps got us to the driveway. Just make sure you plan ahead and download your maps before you start.

Aurora views

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!

Cozy, comfortable, and clean

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.

Marvelous summertime yurt stay

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!

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.

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!

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.

Alaskan retreat

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.
