I visited the place with my mother and sister and we just had the most amazing time. We stayed there 10 days with the crew in the hut and got to experience dog sledding every day. The crew was really lovely and taught us everything they could about the dogs. How to read the emotions and how the dogs tell you, how they feel. All in all I had a wonderful holiday in the most amazing winter wonderland. Thanks to my dog team Ruby, Simba, Ice, Stryder, Jimmy and Rough for taking such good care of me and thanks to the crew for taking such good care for the dogs!!!

I had a wonderful and great dog sled experience in this place! I was really sceptical, when I came there, because last winter I saw some other yards in Norway, where the dogs weren’t well treated. But in this place the dogs are loved and the crew is taking a lot of care of them. The dogs only have to run, when they are healthy, the yard is really clean and the crew explained us a lot of other care-work, which they are doing for the dogs all day long. When they are working with the dogs, you can see, how comfortable the dogs were. It was lovely! They really understand the dogs und only want the best for them. I only can highly recommend the experience in this place, it was amazing. Much love, Xx <3

What a great time we had on our dog mushing adventure! My twin sister and I were treated to a very personal experience – our guide Spencer picked us up at our hotel and took us to Goldstream Husky where we met and played with the sled dogs, saw their kennels, learned how to harness them, and enjoyed an hour and a ½ tour through pristine forests and over frozen lakes. Our guides at Goldstream Husky ensured we had enough warm clothing (extra layers were added before heading out!) and provided insight into the sights we saw along the way. The scenery was breathtaking, and the dogs were enthusiastic, fit and well-cared for, and clearly loved their jobs!

Andi was so welcoming! He made us feel like family. He even informed us of an additional experience which was an event we had not planned on--watching sled dog races in Fairbanks! It was so much fun to watch! Marvin and Carrie, who were our "guides" on our ride were so helpful, even to the point of dressing us for our ride! Marvin led the way on his snow machine, and stopped periodically to take excellent photos of us on the sled. Carrie answered so many of our questions, as she was right behind us on the sled. We could not have had a better experience!!! We will never forget our time with our crew!!

Andy and Melana were fantastic hosts! The dogs are amazing animals! We had a great time learning about the dogs and the Iditarod race from Andy. Even though we brought warm clothes, Melana gave us pants, boots and coats to keep us really warm. She also said their gear was better suited for the dogs (didn't have to worry about them jumping on us with our nice winter clothes). She was absolutely right...the dogs loved jumping up on us to get some love. We got to help feed them after our run. We had a great time and would highly recommend this dog sledding tour to anyone who wants a hands on experience! Hot chocolate and apple spice cake was the perfect finishing touch!

Andy, the owner is a kind and generous plus extremely professional gentleman. Extremely accommodating. He assisted when our car was trapped in snow. The sled ride was scenic and adventurous filled with laughter and joys. This is a true professional husky ride instead of the commercialized ride so do this and forget all of the others if you truly want a ride of your life time.

What a great day to take a tour on a dog sled. The weather was a little cold but no matter, the staff had no problem accommodating with warmer gear to take the journey. At one point, a staff member offered her own gloves to us to use to keep warm. Would definitely recommend for everyone

Andy and Crew were the best ever. From introduction to the dogs, the sled ride and the personal invite into the home for Hot Chocolate afterwards. Andy and Crew provided the ultimate Dog Sled Adventure !!!. The scenery was Awesome, the snow was crisp and the dogs were unbelievable. This is an adventure of a lifetime and I would strongly recommend Andy and his team to anyone want to fulfill their dogsledding dreams !!!

From the moment I was picked up at my hotel till the moment I was returned to my hotel my experience was nothing but exceptional. Andi was friendly and engaging with conversation about the upcoming experience. His staff was just as friendly. The opportunity to interact with the sled dogs was fun and enjoyable. Just interacting with the dogs was a pleasant experience. Even though I brought what I thought were adequate clothes, Andy very kindly said that warmer clothing was needed and provided me with proper dog sledding clothes. The dog sledding experience itself was amazing. The scenery was breath taking. The only sounds were the sled moving over the snow and the occasional mush command by the musher. My musher gave me a quick tutorial on how to ride the sled (as a passenger) and what actions I should take in case something happened (nothing untoward happened). After we returned to the dog yard and put everything away, I was invited into their home for coffee or hot chocolate, I chose hot chocolate.
