Great stay. Thanks.
Great communication. Quite nice people. Beautiful cabin and area!! Definitely going back.
Beautiful area, very hospitable and caring hosts! The cabin was very comfortable and they really added a personal touch. They took care of all the little details so you could just relax and enjoy.
We had a very relaxing stay in this cute cabin. Perfect quiet location not too far from Palmer. Had mama moose and calf visit multiple evenings. Super friendly hosts! Everything about the stay was great!
Loved this little cabin, it was just what we needed for a couple days of rest and reflection. The host was amazing with communication and left so many thoughtful touches in the cabin. We loved the stay and look forward to the next time we can come down and have a quiet place of rest.
We (my 16-year-old daughter and I) stayed a single night in January. Our host helped us unlock the property when my phone was acting up, directed us to the stocked fireplace and extra logs, and offered to wake us if the northern lights made an appearance! (Sadly, the night was cloud-covered.) The cabin was very clean and well-appointed with subtle luxuries such as cold breakfast items, locally made tea and unusual soda flavors (spruce pine!), and shower amenities unexpected outside of a hotel setting. The host even brushed off our car after a light overnight snowfall! 5/5 very big stars and we will surely visit again!
This was my first trip to Alaska and the host was very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. The cabin was small but cozy and we were able to easily keep in warm despite subzero temps. The views were amazing and the host even offered to wake us if the Northern Lights appeared (they did). Overall a wonderful experience.
What a beautiful little cabin surrounded by gorgeous mountains! We didn’t see the northern lights but the stars were incredible. There were large windows with great views of the surrounding mountains and we didn’t even have to leave the cabin to experience the beauty of sunrise and sunset. The cabin was fully equipped. The bed was very comfortable. Chris and Karen were great hosts. They were very responsive and right next door to help us with anything if we needed it. Would highly recommend.
