Aurora Yurt is in a beautiful location and has everything you need to relax between adventures in the area. Peaceful lovely view . Using Colleen’s tips we saw the Northern lights 3/6 nights in spite of cloudy forecasts! Convenient location not far from University of Alaska Fairbanks museum, trail system groceries restaurants. We used the well stocked kitchen and were plenty warm in the Yurt. Colleen’s beautiful snow dogs came to visit and they are special! Would like to return in summertime and would definitely stay here again .

We loved everything about this yurt! Cozy, beautiful & warm - we were always happy returning home to it after all of our adventures♡Colleen has created a space with all of the convenience of being home. The yurt is stocked with so many extras that you would never expect to be in a VRBO. IT IS A GREAT LOCATION TO SEE THE AURORA! We watched it dance in the sky 5 of the 7 nights we were there right on the porch♡It is truely amazing! The drive into town is around 25 minutes & the roads are very well taken care of. We rented a 4WD & didnt have any problems. Loved the hot tub & her doggies visited us several nights😁We highly recommend this yurt & would stay here again if we ever return!

The yurt was clean and smelled clean which is the first and most important to me. My 15 and 18yr old daughters are very picky and they loved it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Even though it was freezing outside the heater kept the entire yurt cozy and warm. We were impressed. The place was spotless clean, beds were all comfortable and the kitchen was adequate for our groups cooking needs. Colleen was always responsive to my questions about viewing the aurora even though she was out of town on a family emergency. Our only disappointment was that the aurora was very weak the time we were in town and we didn’t know til the last day that when it’s faint you can’t see it with the naked eyes but if you take pictures of the whitish grey clouds changing forms you will see the aurora colors in your picture. We will definitely be back for aurora viewing again. There was also someone who stopped by during our stay to put ice melt down. Thanks Colleen for being attentive to the details to make our stay enjoyable and safe!

This was our first experience in a yurt. Surprisingly warm and quaint. Easy check in and the host was helpful. As a multiple property owner on VRBO myself I know how challenging it can be to please everyone but i recommend that the owner spend a little time in fixing and updating this property as it’s in need of a little TLC. For those who wish to get away on a budget, this is a good choice.

Super relaxing, lovely yurt for a short trip to Fairbanks. We were lucky enough to see the aurora from right out front. The location is great, easy access to town for food etc, but removed enough to have a quiet trip.
