This cozy, rustic yurt sits tucked back in the woods on my private property, just on the outskirts of Seward. 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.

    Cute spot at a good price! 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. Be ready for cold nights in the bathroom - still exceptionally clean and smell free for an outdoor option. Plus all the whimsical charms make it an experience!

    Very cute place! The yurt is extremely cozy and Kayce was kind enough to even have the heater on for us for when we checked in since it was an overcast/rainy day. She provided us with snacks and water, there’s also some items there for in case you forgot anything like toothpaste, etc. there’s conveniently a hot plate with a pot/pan, some cooking utensils, and coffee/coffee maker. Beyond my expectations! We absolutely loved it here.

    The host was amazing, she was sweet and very communicative. 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!
