An amazing last minute stay!

My husband and I just1 day before booking with Susie, we lost out on our orginal booking at the Skyline lodge in Talkeetna because of the landslide in the Park. Susie was SO helpful in getting us booked so quick. And we were definitely not disappointed. We loved loved loved our stay. The property was so calm and beautiful. My husband caught some fish on the lake there and we made ourselves some yummy dinner with the full kitchen. Everyone was so kind! Loved the drive into the property too!

Cute cabin on nice grounds

While we just used the cabin as a crashpad for one night in the middle of a roadtrip, I could see it being nice to stay here longer. The place had all the standard amenities and the little lake and pond on the grounds were nice.

Perfect Getaway

We celebrated our 2nd anniversary and it well exceeded our expectations. Our cabin was a nice quiet setting on a lake. It felt like we had the place all to ourselves. The property was very nicely landscaped with beautiful gardens. Our host was outstanding and made sure we had everything we need. We will be back for sure!!

Loved everything about our stay!

Super clean log cabins, awesome remote location, friendliest hostess EVER, and great fishing! If you want to get away from it all and experience Alaska back country, this is it! Susie is so great! And if you have ever watched “On Golden Pond”, we caught Walter! He was released so he is still there for you! We will be back!
