Escape From The Crowds And Rent A Yurt At Eagle River Nature Center

If you need to get out of town and experience some of the remote beauty Alaska has to offer, you can rent a yurt in Eagle River and have a relaxing weekend away from it all! Located a short hike out from the Eagle River Nature Center, there are three beautiful yurts you can rent.

One great thing about Alaska are all the remote cabins and yurts for rent for a weekend away from it all.

The Eagle River Nature Center has three separate yurts and a cabin, all available for rent. You do need to hike in to each yurt, but each yurt is varying distances from the parking lot.

All yurts are within a 2-mile hike from the visitor center, so they are easily accessible for all skill levels.

The yurts are open year-round, and just as beautiful in the winter as in the summer.

Two yurts sleep six people, and one sleeps only four.

If you have the maximum amount of people allowed in the yurt, then 1-2 people will need to sleep on the floor. There are tables and chairs or benches that offer plenty of seating.

The yurts all include a wood stove and plenty of firewood located nearby.

There's a bear-resistant locker storage for your food. All the yurts have a water source nearby, although it does require purification. Pets are allowed, but no bicycles, ATV's or snow-machines.

They even have a rustic cabin for rent.

The cabin is called Paradise Haven Cabin, and sleeps eight people. This cabin is only 1.5 miles from the visitor center, and has a spacious covered porch that you can sit on to enjoy the view.

You can rent any of these awesome yurts or the cabin for $85.00 a night for non-members of the Eagle River Nature Center.

For members, they can rent a yurt for $75. The price includes parking for up to four cars in the parking lot of the visitor's center.

The area around these yurts make a wonderful backdrop to your trip to the Alaskan wilderness.

Filled with trails and amazing sightseeing, this area is worth a multi-day exploration. Book one of these lovely yurts and spend some restful time in solitude.
