My wife and I enjoyed the yurt for three nights and had a sled ride during our first day. The yurt was warm and cozy, and we truly enjoyed the quiet evenings among the snowy woods. The dogs were wonderful and friendly and we loved visiting/petting them. Eleanor and her staff were very helpful and friendly and made us feel right at home. The breakfasts were very delicious and filling too. 

Business response:

I am so glad that you and your wife had such a great time! We loved having you with us as well. I am still enjoying the chocolate covered macadamia nuts that you gifted to me.

Really unique experience. We did the 30 minute tour with our 20-month-old & loved it. 

Business response:

We are so glad that you and your little one enjoyed your tour experience. It is truly special for the staff at Just Short of Magic to share our love of dogs with the newer generations. There is nothing better than watching a child be awakened to the wonders of dogs and dog mushing!

Even though it was nippy cold today, ( -25 F ) the great staff made sure I stayed toasty warm on my amazing ride. A special thanks to my awesome musher, Swannee, and the beautiful team of doggies that took great care of me. 

Business response:

Swanny has the cutest dogs! I am so glad you had a great time at Just Short of Magic, even though you took your tour on one of the coldest days so far this winter. I'm sure that all of the clothes you brought and borrowed kept you plenty warm!

Highlight of our trip to Alaska. Would recommend them to anyone looking to try dog sledding. 

Business response:

Evelyn! We are so glad that you enjoyed your visit with us! Taking guests out to see the beauty of the Alaskan woods is the highlight of the dog's life here in Alaska.
