The best yurt rentals in Alaska

Camping in Alaska doesn’t have to be about pitching a tent in the backcountry or road-tripping along the Glacier Highway in an RV. Yurt rentals around near Juneau, Fairbanks, or Anchorage combine the back-to-nature experience of camping in the land of the Midnight Sun with enough home comforts to keep you cozy whatever the season. Check into a fully furnished yurt on the edge of Denali National Park & Preserve, snag one of the rustic yurts at Kachemak Bay State Park, or book a family-sized yurt with an on-site sauna at the heart of the Chugach National Forest. Yurt camping makes it easy to get outdoors year-round, so choose an oceanfront yurt on Orca Island in the summer months and enjoy fishing and paddling around Resurrection Bay or rent a heated yurt near the Chena Hot Springs in winter, where you can try dog sledding and spot the Northern Lights.

Get out of town for a unique stay in The Yurt at Calypso Farm & Ecology Center! Nestled in the boreal forest, Calypso is a non-profit, educational farm located in the hills of Easter, just 10 miles outside of Fairbanks. The Yurt is simple, cozy and a bit rustic (no running water) - perfect for travelers looking for a one of a kind Alaskan experience or locals looking for a fun "glamping" experience at the farm! From May through September, there are many people living and working on the farm, as well as visitors. The yurt is secluded away from where most of these things take place, however, you may hear activities going on and, if you take a walk around you, will likely come across other people. Feel free to say hi and chat with folks! In addition to being a working farm, Calypso host a variety of education programs and events for all ages. All rental proceeds directly support Calypso's education programs and initiatives to share fresh food in the Fairbanks community! Thank you for your interest and involvement in the work that we do!

4. Camp Farm

1 site · Lodging · Hope, AK

Camp Farm is a small organic homestead/farm in Hope, AK. Our micro-campground offers peaceful off-grid camping. Stay in our 16' yurt, or bring your tent/fully contained RV. Our property is dry, so you'll need to supply your own water, but you are welcome to use our on-site outhouse. There is a small fire pit and communal outdoor kitchen space with a propane 2-burner stove for guest use. We do not allow visiting pets, however there are dogs on site who love belly rubs. With quick access to the Resurrection Pass Trailhead, Wagon Trail, Gull Rock and Hope Point trails and only 2.5 miles from historic downtown Hope, there is a lot to see and do here! Hope is home to about 200 year-round residents and boasts some of the rowdiest white water rafting (5+ rapids on 6-Mile Creek), most scenic hiking and best trail/mountain bike riding in the state. If you're a foodie, cruise 2.5 miles into "town" for a bite at one of 4 locally owned restaurants or a coffee at one of the coffee shops. Enjoy live music every summer weekend at one of 3 different music venues. Hope does not have a gas station, so please plan ahead and fuel up in Girdwood, Cooper Landing or Seward before heading to town. There is a small market here, so if you forget an essential, you'll be able to purchase ice, water, beer, snacks, etc. here in town.

1 night at Nauti Otter Inn Yurt Village

Very clean, excellent layout and comfortable beds! Would stay here again. It was my parent’s first time staying in a yurt, or using a communal kitchen, and it was a great experience for them. Would recommend.

1 night at The Yurt At Calypso Farm

It was a lovely little yurt on a lovely little farm! The host provided staples like oats, coffee, tea, etc. There was a fridge, a small oven, sink with hauled-in water and drainage hooked up, cooking and eating utensils, tableware and basic furniture. The wood stove was cool to look at, though we weren't allowed to use it, nor did we need to. The bed was fine. I woke up to roosters after a good night sleep, which was pleasent. We took are self-guided tour of the farm. The kids pet the wool sheep and dwarf goats and we met the farmers, who were nice. The only inconveniences were no showers, taking care of nature's calling in an outhouse, and no cell phone service. We only stayed one night, and left with some yarn from the sheep we pet the day prior! All in all, we enjoyed our stay!

Weekend Trip to Nauti Otter Inn Yurt Village

I will be forever dreaming about our next stay at the Nauru Otter Yurt Village. My husband multiple times during our stay kept saying I can’t wait until we can come back and stay here longer. They thought of literally everything. Comfortable, clean, charming, fun, we cannot say enough great things about this fairytale like yurt village.
