It was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. The girls were very informative, helped us prepare with the right clothing and gear because of the extreme cold temperatures, and the ride itself was beautiful. We got to interact with the dogs. I would recommend this over and above any other dogsled ride in the Fairbanks area.

Our initial goal of visiting Fairbanks was to catch the aurora - even though we didn't get to do so due to the weather condition of the week we were there. Just short of magic has made our trip just as special, if not more. The stay at the yurt was definitely a memorable experience and we would do it all over again. It's quaint, peaceful and love the breakfast Eleanor prepare for us every morning and the howling of the sweet dogs every night. We also did the sled ride which was on a fairly cold day and they have all the equips to keep you extra warm and due to the weather we did half an hour but they were so professional and refunded us immediately of the overpayment since we didn't get to sled for the whole hour. The dogs were all sweethearts and are definitely a part of the family as they were so well cared for and loved by Eleanor and her staff. The whole experience was exceptional, from our first-night arrival (with Eleanor waiting up for us) to our last day, they absolutely accommodated us with all our needs and more. They were detailed in our care and everyone made sure we were comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better place and experience in our Alaska experience and can't wait to be back. Thank you so much, Eleanor, Elouise and Jenna!!!
