It’s named after our beloved dog, Porter, and offers a simple, affordable way to test your off-grid living skills while still enjoying a few comforts. The yurt has electricity, a mini fridge, a space heater, and a fan to keep you comfortable in any season. Please note: there is no running water inside the yurt. Showers are available downtown at the harbor and local campgrounds, about a 5–10 minute drive away. The bathroom is a very rustic outhouse with a curtain, adding to the back-to-basics charm. Outside, you’ll find a fire pit (available when no burn ban is in effect) and a picnic table for relaxing outdoors. Because the yurt is located on the same property as my home, you may see children’s toys in the yard, our friendly border collie, and my six-year-old playing nearby. This is a friendly, family space — perfect for guests who appreciate a comfortable, budget-friendly stay close to town and don’t mind a bit of shared activity around the property. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Paper towels - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Toilet paper ### Entertainment - Books ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Garden ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near the sea ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 12 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57230000/57222200/57222188/63d1a443.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cute & Cozy Tiny House in the Woods Seward - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking available - Microwave 9.4 Exceptional 21 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-08&endDate=2025-11-09&selected=57222188&PinnedHotelID=57222188&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115680000/115671100/115671051/5c590393.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Enjoyable 1-bedroom RV in Seward Seward [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-08&endDate=2025-11-09&selected=115671051&PinnedHotelID=115671051&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/4000000/3010000/3006800/3006789/5f94fd16.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Breeze Inn Seward - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 8.2 Very good 1,003 reviews CA $170 CA $189 total includes taxes & fees Nov 25 - Nov 26 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-25&endDate=2025-11-26&selected=3006789&PinnedHotelID=3006789&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Double Bed, Shared Bathroom, Sourdough Cabin, Inn Location](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83950000/83940700/83940680/b6025ed7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Nauti Otter Inn and Yurt Village Seward - Breakfast included - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 123 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-08&endDate=2025-11-09&selected=83940680&PinnedHotelID=83940680&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Executive Double Queen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/10000/8700/8605/b27552ff.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hotel Seward Seward - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Business services 8.2 Very good 1,010 reviews CA $169 CA $188 total includes taxes & fees Nov 23 - Nov 24 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=8605&PinnedHotelID=8605&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102420000/102413400/102413332/6120266a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Howling Wolf Resort!

Yurt is snuggled up in the woods, cozy for a couple or single traveller. Necessities such as electricity / heat readily available. Slept better than under a real roof.

Her dog Ducky was super sweet too, we also enjoyed him when he gave us a short visit.The yurt was cute and comfortable. It had a hot plate inside with a pot and pan if we wanted to cook. We utilized the fire pit for our meals and enjoyed our short trip there. It’s a beautiful property, there are trees and birds singing all around. It was a perfect little escape!We will definitely be back if we find ourselves in Seward again! ##### vanessa m. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025
