Overview

While you should definitely go dogsledding at least once when in Alaska, go deeper with a look at the lives of sled dogs on this uncommon tour. Tour a truly off-grid musher's homestead (no running water, no utilities) and see how Alaskans survived in this harsh climate for eons—and how they depended on their dogs. Each dog has their own personality and needs, and, yes, they’ll be ready for photos…and cuddles!

  • Tour a truly off-grid cabin and learn Alaskan ways of survival
  • See how Alaskans sustainably grow and gather their own food
  • Meet the pups, learning about their personalities, chores, and daily lives
  • A small group means more one-on-one time with the dogs

What To Expect

Welcome to our home.

Where you will meet the sled dogs up close and learn about our off-grid year-round Alaskan homestead.

When visiting the homestead you will learn about our off-grid dry cabin (no utility connections or running water) and will see first hand what it takes to run all the systems needed to live in Alaska in summer and winter. We collect our own water, provide for our own electricity and heat, and grow, gather, bake, and ferment most of our food and try to live a simple sustainable life as much as possible.

You will learn about sled dogs and mushing in general and meet each dog individual. Each dog has a different characters and requires specific care and training to excel in their work and life. There will be plenty of opportunity to cuddle with the dogs and take pictures.

Don’t miss out on this unique experience to see how we Alaskans live.
