*During Iditarod 2024, All Tours Booked Feb. 28th to March 21st Will Be Hosted By Iditarod Finisher Kristin Bacon at Her Kennel.
The Alaska Dogstead sits on 160 acres near Big Lake, an hour from Anchorage in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley. It's here that Team Petit lives and trains year-round for the iconic Iditarod and other shorter, mid-distance dogsled races. Join us for a kennel and mushing tour summer or winter - We'd love to introduce you to our champion athletes and show you what mushing is all about!
Extend your time at the Dogstead and cozy up in one of our 3 spacious and fully-furnished yurts. Each yurt sleeps up to 5 people, has a small kitchenette, gas heater & wood stove, plus a bathroom with toilet and running water. You may even be visited by Libby and Beamer, our retiree Welcoming Committee, who roam around after-hours soliciting head scratches from our guests.
