The Aurora Yurt ~ A Deluxe Mountain Getaway Above Fairbanks With Great Views

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!

Exactly as advertised, lovely stay

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.

Magical stay!

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!

Exactly as described! Peaceful, clean and a great escapeSpotty WiFi but nobody caredWould do it again.

What a great place! So peaceful and beautiful!

The trip was to visit some friends that lived just up the road. I had never been in a Yurt so I didn't know what to expect.

Spent 3 nights in Colleen's yurt. A very well kept and supplied yurt with ac during our 85* days. It's located about 20 minutes from town.

We loved our stay! This yurt is outta this world, highly recommend to everyone

Fantastic stay! Made it a real experience. Host was great! Would definitely stay again.

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

The yurt was cozy, comfortable and just amazing. If you’re looking for a remote place, this is it. Buy groceries since you’re about 20 minutes from town. They provide a lot of kitchen supplies. If you want to snowboard/ski, it’s a mile from Moose Mountain and 40 minutes from Skii Land and 25 minutes from the airport.

Amazing!!! Would stay here again. Colleen is awesome!

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!

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!

Just the right distance from Fairbanks to feel you’ve gotten away without being so far you can’t go into town, this place was incredible. It has a phenomenal view, a quiet ambience, and a fully furnished cabin with all the typical amenities of a home. I came here with my friend, and other than groceries, we were fully provided for and did not need to access Fairbanks unless we wanted to. The property manager is easy to contact through the vrbo website and is very responsive. She also let us know whenever she noticed the aurora so we wouldn’t miss it. We did see the aurora from the cabin, with perfect darkness and elevation for fantastic viewing. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway in a warm, cozy, mountain forest cabin with a view of the Fairbanks valley right from the kitchen, this place is amazing. Would strongly recommend four wheel drive to get up there, but the roads are maintained (plowed) from Fairbanks to the cabin (just a thick snow and ice layer). We had a ford explorer and it was perfect. I cannot recommend this experience enough.

Everything was clean and worked out great for us
