If a night in the woods sounds like a heavenly experience, head to Talkeetna for a wonderful stay in a rustic yurt.
The grounds surrounding this beautiful spot are filled with gorgeous trees and plenty of privacy. There's a great covered deck that you can relax on in all weather.
These accommodations are more luxurious than your traditional yurt, as it comes heated and with a small kitchen.
The whole yurt is well equipped and welcoming, while retaining the rustic feel. You'll have just enough amenities to have an enjoyable stay, while still experiencing true, rural Alaska.
While the yurt does have a kitchen, including a rustic sink and oven, there is no running water.
You'll have to shower at the Talkeetna Roadhouse in town, which is a 45 minute walk, or about 3 miles away. There is also an outhouse that faces the quiet and secluded woods.
You can spend your days lounging on the comfortable hammock or walking the trail to the Susitna River or nearby pond.
Or you could grill up your favorite dish, while gazing at the forest that surrounds the deck. When you stay at this yurt, you get to spend your days close to the Alaskan environment you love.
