Lovely location, adorable cabin. Very clean and comfortable. The only improvement I would suggest is Wifi. Otherwise, it was a great home base after enjoying this amazing state each day. Just wished I would have had 2 weeks to explore!!!!

Great Getaway

This place is perfect. Far enough away to be private but close enough to plenty of fun stuff. I had to make a change to our reservations and Robin was great to deal with. She was able to make the necessary changes quickly and was very pleasant in doing so. Awesome place, great host.

Nice and quiet place.

It is a simple, clean and quiet place. I stayed there during a sled dog race with a trailer of 15 dogs. There was ample parking for the trailer and it was a quiet and safe environment, well suited for our weekend. I would personally add a bit more lighting to the kitchen area.

Amazing

My husband and I stayed here for our delayed honeymoon (thanks COVID) and we enjoyed every minute! The cabin was the perfect size for us and in a great location. The lakes around the cabin were great for fishing, we even ate fresh salmon one night! We really enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Fall in Alaska

We rented this cabin as a group of friends from high school during our road trip through Alaska. The property was beautiful and the cabin very charming and cozy. The amenities were ideal for us as we were cooking our own meals throughout the trip. The location right off of the Parks Highway was ideal for exploring Anchorage area or Denali area. I would highly recommend a stay.

Good choice

This is an attractive cabin in the woods conveniently located btw Anchorage and Denali. As the owners disclose they have no wifi. Other than that this is a strong choice.

About the host

Host profile image
When my brother took a fishing trip to Alaska when I was 13 and came back with pictures, I always wanted to live here in a log home. Now, I have a log home and a log cabin. My husband and 5 children love to explore the woods, play in the lake, and raft down wild Alaskan rivers.
