 Trailhead
Cabins are on Haystack Mountain 30 miles north of
Fairbanks on the edge of the White Mountains, Alaska.
"Haystack" is a low mountain among many surrounding hills and
"Domes" as they are locally called.
|
|
The elevation is 2500 feet; more than
2002 feet above the valley floor. This offers an extraordinary panorama from a boreal
forest perch. Tree-line is just above the cabins and a short hike provides alpine scenery.
|
|
These new accommodations are
smoke-free, private one room "dry" log cabins. We created the cabins to give the
feel of a sourdough without the worry. Equipped
with:
- bedded bunks (double below, twin above)
- gear loft
- microwave
- toaster oven
- coffee maker
- refrigerator
- water dispenser
- table/chairs
|
|
The wood stove has been replaced by a
super efficient Toyo heater...much safer and hassle free. The new appliances offer modern
convenience ...relax. A continental breakfast will be available in the 'fridge...so you
may enjoy the morning without leaving your cabin.
|
|
We are open all year... these cabins
are comfy at 40 below. The "privy" or outhouse is an integral part of the
sourdough lifestyle and the sub-alpine location limits the available water. They are
clean, roomy and airy with window views. It is not a "port-o-potty" but rather
an outdoor toilet.
|
|
Shower and laundry facilities are
available nearby on the Elliot Highway. Other provisions are up to you. Prepare for
an Extremely Alaskan experience.
|
|
Closed during "breakup"
better known as mud season... April through May.
|
|
Credit card only, 1 week advance
cancellation notice.
|
|
Summers are warm, often in the
eighties, sunny with occasional rain showers through August.
|
|
Winters can reach 40 below and
you must come prepared.
|
|
All cabins and gift shop feature art
and gifts by locals.
