Manitoba Cabins and Yurt
Manitoba, located at MP 48 on the Seward Highway, is a historic site that provides a backcountry lodging experience. With one cabin and three yurts accommodating up to 25 guests, plus a sauna, Alaska Huts provides firewood (as long as supples last) and propane for essential comforts in a remote setting surrounded by world-class skiing in the winter and multiple hiking trails and non-motorized activities in the summer.
Reservations can be booked three months in advance or six months for our Trailblazer members.
Lars Spurkland Memorial Hut
The Lars Spurkland Memorial Hut, located a half mile from the Spencer Glacier, is COMING SOON! Expected to open in summer 2026, this backcountry hut will sleep up to 13 and was made possible by the Spurkland Family and individual donations, alongside grant donors Rasmuson Foundation, Murdock Charitable Trust, Atwood Foundation, and ConocoPhillips. Contribute to the Hut Fund Project today.
Spring Woodstock 2026
Join us on Saturday and/or Sunday, June 26/27 (Saturday 9am-?? and Sunday 9-12) for a day of community, hard work, and good food. There’s lots of wood to move this year, so if you have an ATV and trailer (or know someone who does), your help would make a big difference. After the work is done, we’ll fire up the grill, enjoy snacks and raise a glass to a great day. Kids are welcome, and the evening will wrap up with commaraderie and a cozy fire.
Overnight stays are available on Saturday, June 27th. The entire site is available.
If you’d like to join us, please email [email protected]
with the number in your group, whether you plan to stay overnight, and what you’d like to bring—whether it’s tools, supplies for projects, or a favorite potluck dish.
We can’t wait to see you at Manitoba for another unforgettable Woodstock!

Our Vision for the Alaska Huts Association
The vision of the Alaska Hut Association is a system of linked backcountry huts offering diverse wilderness experiences and educational opportunities to the general public.
Our yurt and cabin rentals near Anchorage, Alaska provide a higher level of service than you would find at a typical public use cabin in Alaska. Amenities include mattresses, a kitchen, firewood (while supplies last), and propane for cooking. For some travelers, this is simply added comfort; for others, this makes a previously inaccessible wilderness experience possible.
Our hope is to use these experiences to educate visitors on the natural world and inspire the next generation of land stewards.
Five-Star Reviews for a Five-Star Experience
There are very few backcountry experiences in Alaska as comfortable and accessible as this one. It's amazing how convenient this getaway is, and Alaska Huts makes it even easier with detailed directions and great signage leading you right to the doorstep. Oh, and the skiing was awesome. Can't wait to come back.

My favorite place to stay in Alaska, yes! Awesome surroundings and great yurts + sauna at the Manitoba Cabins, and the refreshing swimming in the cold creek after heating up in the Sauna! Thank you for making this possible!

I stayed overnight at the end of August. It was absolutely beautiful. Enjoyed the scenery, I stayed in the spirit walker yurt with my friends it was really nice, the cabin was well equipped. The sauna was absolutely amazing. The hiking trails are fun. I hope I get a chance to go back for a winter stay.

My new favorite place to stay in Alaska. The cabin is well equipped, it way exceeded what I hoped for even after reading the website. A beautiful setting, easy access and a wonderful sauna. I am looking forward to future visits and seeing it during different seasons.
