Private Wooded Acres at Fort Alaska - Sleeps 10 comfortably expandable to18

What a wonderful place to stay! Very clean, kitchen has everything we needed, lots of nice towels, kayaks, fishing poles, comfortable beds, beautiful place to grill outside and nice fire area and great communication from the owners. We will definitely stay here again!

Very secluded and peaceful property, but not too far from town. Absolutely loved the inclusion of the creek and kayaks to go exploring. Plenty of space for a whole family or group of friends, but still small enough to feel homey.

Pictures don’t do this place justice. Very roomy and comfortable house with everything you need to cook meals. Nice stream on the property for kayaking. Will definitely stay here again.

I rented the space for myself and four other work buddies. We realized when we got there that five grown men each wanted their own space. The hosts were kind enough to open an extra bedroom for us to use last minute. The place was extra clean and the beds comfy. We used the heck out of the BBQ, plenty of spices etc to help us cook. We enjoyed fishing on a pontoon boat on Big Lake, and the Nature Conservancy about an hour away. Kobuk the Bear is quite an entertainer when in the mood! The property itself is right on a creek, so we waded in the water to catch a bite. They also have bikes, fishing poles, and kayaks for use which was cool. We were even provided a dozen muffins, coffee and creamer, which was great since we got in at 2am. Oh — also, one of our party forgot their AirPods at the house. They were shipped back to us from the hosts! Thank you, Carrie!

This property worked well for our stay and travel purposes. Pro: We were able to do the Matanuska Glacier Hike/Tour—highly recommend!! Cons: The house is a duplex so you might have another rental group on the property with you…there was no hot tub, although it was listed as an amenity. More pros: The creek behind the house is beautiful, peaceful, and fun for kayaking/fishing. Would stay here again!

The house is simply beautiful on the inside. The floors and furniture were a lovely dark wood and the artwork was really pretty. The house is well stocked and very comfortable. There was even a firepit that was all set up with plenty of wood, though it did rain the entire time we were there so we couldn't take advantage of it. The creek is very close and it had many salmon when we stayed in mid-August. The location was great, about an hour from Anchorage, three hours from Denali and 30-40 minutes from a couple of other places we visited. There were also several little towns nearby where we found plenty of restaurants. The owner was responsive and even stopped by to make sure that our stay was going smoothly and that we didn't need anything. She also cared enough to make sure we had contingency plans when she realized that my sister was returning to Florida while a hurricane was hitting the state. One downside was that the road was nearby when outside by the creek and so traffic noise was frequent and louder than we'd have liked. That was a minor issue compared to the positive aspects of the property.

Top-notch facilities and care. We were able to kayak in Meadows Creek and take full advantage of the centralized location to all that is Alaska.

This was the second time that we stayed at this property! It is just as beautiful as last time, right on the river! Defiantly rent their kayaks and do on the river!!! Will book again next time we visit!

Fort Alaksa was an amazing place to stay and far exceeded our expectations. Space and accommodations. The Fort slept our family of four adults and two children very comfortably. We even had room for more! From pizza pans, games, and bug spray, the Fort really does have it all Location. For us, the location could not have been better. We were there to visit family in Palmer, but also ventured out to Anchorage and other surrounding areas. The property Fort Alaksa is located on is beautiful and secluded. And did I mention the Fort has it all! Bikes, balls, kayaks, fire pit, lots of outdoor seating! Easy access to the creek made kayak launching simple and so fun. We saw what we thought were beavers, but after some googling, we learned they were muskrats. The hosts are really good people. It's obvious they want your stay to be comfortable, enjoyable and memorable. They were available and easy to communicate with when needed. They really did go above and beyond!! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend as THE place you must stay!!

We had so much fun hanging around the property and exploring. The place was plenty clean and spacious for our group!
