What to Expect with "Off Grid" Living
Our ranch truly encompasses the wilderness lifestyle. The Aurora Cabin is entirely off the grid, offering a rustic and cozy escape from the digital world:
-
Power & Light: Powered entirely by propane lighting and electric lanterns (no standard electricity).
-
Heating: Warmed by a traditional, cozy wood stove.

Kitchen: Fully self-contained and equipped with a propane cooking stove.
-
Facilities: Serviced by a quaint, clean outhouse (toilet) and shared gravity-fed showers on the property.
-
Connectivity: No WiFi and very limited cell service.

Wonderful place to stay, don’t miss out! Great hiking trails close by, beautiful clean cabin, and the sauna is SUPER close to the house! Host was great as well, communicative over text and gave us our space once she had checked in on us. 10/10

Gorgeous place! We especially enjoyed the fire lit-sauna and had some amazing cleansing saunas while we were there. if you’re a hiker, don’t forget to bring bear spray, as it is not supplied. I would also recommend having a SUV or more durable car if you want to explore the roads outside of the ranch for hiking. Cell reception is a five minute drive away at Fish Lake.

The cabin was everything we expected and more. A quick drive from downtown, but secluded enough that there was zero light pollution. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises, puppies to play with on-site, the hosts were amazing and very tentative. Such an awesome experience to see the Yukon
