The Flower Kennel and Homestead - Talkeetna, AK

The Flower Kennel and Homestead - Talkeetna, AK Sled dog kennel and Homestead tours. Alaskan lifestyle experience; off-grid living with sled dogs. Welcome to our home.

Visit the Flower Homestead, a musher’s homestead tucked away just south of Talkeetna in the Boreal forest of Alaska. Here we live a sustainable life together with the Flower Kennel Sled dogs. The kennel is unique in that the sled dogs are not only part of the family, but an integral part of our real authentic off-grid Alaskan lifestyle. The dogs help with hauling water from our spring in winter and haul our building material and firewood we harvest from our homestead to keep warm and cozy during the cold Alaska winters. We grow, harvest and gather most of our own food and live a self-reliant lifestyle as much as possible. We are committed to our dogs and the Flower Kennel is their forever home. Our tours are an exclusive opportunity to see how and why we live in the far North. We are a small locally owned operation and our tours are casual and personal.

Me the engineer: I designed a 12:12 roof for the rental
He the main builder: what about 10:12
Me: But that will be less head space on the loft
He: Someone has to go up there and actually build the roof, you?
Me: What about a 10:12 roof?
