We have never stayed in yurts previously and truly enjoyed the experience. Bed was very comfortable, yurt was airy and spacious with anything we might need. Showers and bathrooms were clean and available. The group kitchen with storage worked perfectly. We would love to stay here again.

We stayed in one of the vintage camper trailers. The mattress I slept is due for retirement. And more hooks for hanging towels, clothes, and other stuff would enhance this unique and fun experience. We enjoy the common areas, good coffee, and visiting with other guests!

There is not clear bedroom instructions and details about the hostel staying. There was no where on the website stating that the hostel rooms are shared with men and women. Me and my friend who are two young girls traveling alone got separated and had to stay in separate rooms. And my friend ended up being the only girl in a room full of adult men and we had to leave a day earlier. The manger didn’t give us any other options and only wanted our money and didn’t give a proper refund. The cabins we horribly small and were very dusty and dirty and felt slightly unsafe. Do not recommend for solo travel or girl travel.

We stayed in the Sourdough cabin. I expected it to be rustic, but this appeared to just be a small, cheap, graffiti-filled shed transformed into a bedroom. Watch your head! Way over priced for what you receive. I usually don’t write reviews, but this time it was warranted.
Additionally, there are tight timeframes for using one of the bathrooms. It requires preplanning and “signing up” to take a short shower in the morning. Not ideal.
On the positive-side:
- The staff was very nice.
- You can make waffles in the morning.

Nice quiet spot to spend the night. Rooms only have a bed and minium space. But, the main building has all the comforts of home. Refrigerator, restroons, fireplace, books, guitar piano. Very comfortable. Also outdoor firepit.
Serve yourself arrangment. An envelope with my name was posted on the door. Key was in the door ready for me. Includes a patking spot infront of your cabin. 3 miles from Seward.
