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.

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.

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!!

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.

Amazing and Wonderful Yurt!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay at this most amazing Yurt! It was SO cozy and warm and comfortable! Is in a great location in the hillside community overlooking Anchorage...great views! It was only 15-20 minutes away from town and all the local eateries! It is very private and quiet on our hosts' property! And our hosts definitely respond quickly & took care of us! The bathroom was very clean, always warm, and had everything we needed....just a short walk from the Yurt! The Yurt was well stocked, beds were very comfortable and warm! Everything about our stay here gave us a wonderful Alaskan adventure and just an overall awesome experience in Anchorage & visits to surrounding scenic sights & towns! I would HIGHLY recommend this place and would definitely stay here again! We don't have anything negative to say, since it was ALL a positive experience! Kudos to our hosts! We greatly appreciate the warm welcome and making our week long stay an experience we will never forget! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! :)

Great, Affordable Alaskan Stay

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.

Best Place Ever

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. It is so comfy and close to nature. In fact I was lucky to see moose right outside my yurt!! The host is absolutely wonderful and so kind. The yurt and bathroom were equipped with everything that t needed to the point that I needed no toiletries or kitchen items. Totally fell in love with this place😍
