About Salt & Yarrow Soul Sanctuary
This 5 acre parcel started off as raw land covered in downed spruce. The hosts have cleared and continue to clear, establishing easy to walk on trails to get from point a to point b so you can explore:) every year adding more edible vegetation with the hopes of a full blown food forest in the near future. Learn more about this land: Welcome to our Alaskan getaway! Come pitch a tent and enjoy the midnight sunsets and sunrises with a beautiful backdrop of the Alaskan sky. Our ideal location by the lake allows for swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding. We have seasonal gardens that you can pick fresh produce from - check with the host for seasonal vegetation. Feed the birds, get dirt under your fingernails, sleep in a tent, drive to the mountains (about an hour away!) and take a hike. . Enjoy Alaska, that's what this getaway is all about - we look forward to your stay! You cannot drive to the tent sites it’s park and walk but they aren’t far, 500ft at most. There is now a well on site let us know and we can help you grab you a few gallons if you need. You will need to have contact with the host before coming as the neighborhood is gated!

We camped with Amelia and her family on our way to Fairbanks. It was superb. Their hospitality was genuine. They have really created an awesome space in the wilderness. Do yourself a favor and book a stay!
Beautifully positioned homestead in the making - was truly wonderful to get a peak into the lives of those devoted to natural living. The lake is quiet and perfect for a swim, kayaking or fishing. The campsite was perfect, easy to pitch a tent and start a fire. Plenty of space for my hammock. Amelia and family were great - I greatly enjoyed my several conversations. They were kind and friendly, but gave space to chill. Hope to come back next year and check in on the progress!
Amelia was the most hospitable host. The family is kind and generous. We truly felt at home here
We would ABSOLUTELY recommend going to this site. Amelia and her husband were so very helpful and nice, they helped us with moving all of our items to the campsite and pointed out all the edible berries and gave us a complete walkthrough of the area, and made us feel very welcomed and safe.

The bathroom they provide was also very clean and sanitary and they provided clean drinking water. The lake is amazing and they also provided life jackets a…

They've built from scratch a series of trails, covered areas, a fire pit, organic garden, outdoor composting toilet and boat dock. The campsite is towards the lake and right next to the toilet which is extremely clean, well maintained and peacef…
We had the most amazing couple days on Wyatt and Amelya's homestead! They were amazing at communicating with us, and even sent over a couple videos showing the ins and outs of the property since they weren't able to meet us when we arrived. We were able to park and sleep in our van, but the property has so much to offer you will never want to leave! The tent spot looks like its out of a fairy tale, nestled amongst mushrooms in a grove of cottonwoods, with a pit toilet conveniently located in a private little alcove nearby. We picked cranberries along the bog path, did a quick workout in the…
