Enjoy easy access to a variety of outdoor adventures, from summer hiking and biking trails to fishing in nearby creeks and rivers, and winter cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails. After an adventurous day, relax in your cozy yurt featuring a deck, kitchenette, and access to a heated shared bathhouse with a shower and laundry facilities. When you enter the yurt, you\`ll find a comfy queen bed with charging ports, Alaskan-themed books, and bedside lights. On cool nights, you can light a fire in the Blaze King woodstove, use the space heater, or snuggle up with the electric blanket provided in a basket by the stairs. The yurt is dry, meaning there is no running water. You\`ll have a water container that can be filled from the well outside, and a grey water bucket below. The kitchenette is fully equipped with a small sink, microwave, fridge/freezer, Keurig coffee maker, French press, coffee grinder, electric cooktop, toaster, cooking spices, and all necessary dishes and utensils.

Enjoy local ATV trails directly from the property or explore millions of acres of public lands for snow machining in winter, with rentals and delivery available, or bring your own. The local dog mushing community maintains multi-use trails in winter, ideal for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Other activities include dog sled tours, flightseeing, river rafting, and hiking.
