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. Manitoba Cabin is just the first step in that process.
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. Outfitted with mattresses, a fully outfitted kitchen, firewood, and propane for cooking, guests only need to bring food, a sleeping bag, and warm clothes. 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.
