The Yurt At Calypso Farm

1 site · Lodging3 acres · Ester, AK
Get out of town for a unique stay in The Yurt at Calypso Farm & Ecology Center! Nestled in the boreal forest, Calypso is a non-profit, educational farm located in the hills of Ester, just 10 miles outside of Fairbanks. The Yurt is simple, cozy and a bit rustic (no running water) – perfect for travelers looking for a one of a kind Alaskan experience or locals looking for a fun “glamping” experience at the farm! From May through September, there are many people living and working on the farm, as well as visitors. The yurt is secluded away from where most of these things take place, however, you may hear activities going on and, if you take a walk around you, will likely come across other people. Feel free to say hi and chat with folks! In addition to being a working farm, Calypso hosts a variety of education programs and events for all ages. Visit our website to learn more, view our calendar of events, or send us a message for more information! www.calypsofarm.org All rental proceeds directly support Calypso's education programs and initiatives to share fresh food in the Fairbanks community! THANK YOU for your interest and involvement in the work that we do!
