We found the cabin cozy, well-stocked, and with great views of the mountains, and our host was super communicative and friendly.

This was a perfectly situated cabin with the mountains in view and the perfect stop to stay after traveling from anchorage back to Fairbanks.

Two families (of which 5 kids stayed in the bunk house), felt very special to be given this opportunity to enjoy Alaskan cabin life. We had a great time. The surrounding landscape is overwhelming and makes you feel modest. Unique experience.
