Experience Nordic simplicity at Birch + Bjørn Tiny Hytte, a cozy, design-forward 400 sq ft tiny home nestled on a private acre in the birch forests of North Pole, Alaska. Surrounded by nature yet minutes from city essentials, this hygge-inspired retreat blends Scandinavian calm with modern Alaskan comfort. Whether you're sipping coffee on the sun deck, curling up with a movie, or soaking in the tub after a long day of adventure—Birch + Bjørn invites you to slow down, rest deeply, and reconnect.

The Space:

At Birch + Bjørn, you're just:

5 minutes to North Pole (Santa Claus House, restaurants, shops)

20 minutes to downtown Fairbanks

25 minutes from Fairbanks International Airport

1 hour to Chena Hot Springs

2 hours to Denali National Park

From the moment you step inside Birch + Bjørn Tiny Hytte, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a retreat that’s both rooted in nature and elevated in design. At 400 square feet, this handcrafted space offers a cozy, curated experience that invites you to breathe deeper, move slower, and settle in.

The bedroom features a queen-size Helix memory foam mattress—medium firm and known for its incredibly comfortable, universally supportive feel. A birch accent wall, hand-built from locally milled trees by a skilled Alaskan craftsman, brings the warmth of the forest inside. A full closet gives you space to hang clothes and unpack, while the private back deck—just a step through the bedroom door—offers an east-facing view perfect for sunrise coffee and fresh air.

In the living room, a Thomasville Ella Convertible Sleeper Sofa opens into a full-size bed, allowing the cabin to comfortably sleep up to four guests. Arctic-inspired hygge art and natural wood accents create a soft, calm aesthetic, and for those cozy nights in, there’s a 43” LG Smart TV with streaming access and a coffee table stocked with games.

The kitchen is compact but impressively equipped. A mint retro-style Frigidaire fridge, full electric range with an outdoor-venting hood, and granite countertops make cooking here a pleasure. The Kohler sink, Henckels knives, high-quality nonstick cookware, and all essential tools are included—perfect for preparing everything from a hearty breakfast to a full homemade dinner. The tall dining table seats four on cushioned stools, creating a welcoming spot to gather for meals, morning journaling, or a glass of wine after a day of exploring.

The bathroom is fully renovated with a brand-new bathtub and shower, modern flooring, a fresh vanity, and updated fixtures. Clean, serene, and spa-like, it’s just what you’ll want after an Alaskan hike or an evening under the stars.

Outside, the sun deck is your personal haven in the woods. Nestled among birch and spruce trees, it’s outfitted with four chairs, two tables, and a 4-burner propane grill. Spend your mornings soaking up the light, your afternoons reading in the breeze, and your evenings sharing a meal in total privacy. With one full acre of quiet forest, there are no neighbors in sight—perfect to reconnect with family and nature.
