The space

Many interesting books about Alaska and local authors’ stories are on the bookshelf along with hiking information and children’s books. A 55-inch smart TV with access to your favorite streaming channels is in the living area where you will also find a leather sleeper sofa with an additional mattress available to make it more comfortable along with sheets, blankets and pillows provided upon request.

The bathroom has a shower & tub combo with an on-demand water heater. You will find towels, body soap, shampoo, conditioner, and hand soap.

A new stacked washer/dryer combo is available in the boiler room beside the bathroom. Some laundry detergents, fabric softeners and a laundry basket are provided.
You will have full control of “your heating zone” We will make sure it is warm in the Winter months upon your arrival.
Guest access:
The apartment has its own entrance and parking. The first entrance on the northwest corner is the access to the apartment. There are four steps down from the outside entrance. Beyond the guest entrance outside is my family’s stair entrance to our space upstairs.
Other things to note:
Due to the natural surroundings of our property, it is possible that wildlife, bugs and insects may be present outside. We strive to maintain a comfortable environment, but we cannot eliminate the presence of wildlife in such a nature-rich area. Thank you for your understanding and enjoy your stay close to nature!
You will hear us above you from time to time while walking, watching TV or maybe our loveable Yellow Labrador Josie sauntering across the floor. We home school our two boys during the day and are mostly just doing our work and relatively quiet. In the winter we perform all the snow removal with a plow and snowblower so you may see us working to keep the space clear.
We provide a cold and hot water dispenser for your use. Please be aware the hot water dispenser is very hot. There are built-in safety measures on the unit to avoid accidental burns.
We are on a well and septic tank, so please help us care of our system by not flushing anything but toilet paper in the toilet.
In the event of any type of power failure we run a generator while repairs are being made. This rarely happens and power is usually restored quickly. The generator does not provide full lighting or appliance use capability. It will however keep the wi-fi, water, and heat going. The main breaker box is in the apartment space and if in the event access is needed, we will contact you for permission to enter and resolve the problem.

    Absolutely adored this place! Misty greeted me and my daughter when we were looking at rhe chickens outside and allowed her to feed them and pet one of the bunnies. Such a clean, lovely and comfortable place to stay. Will likely be back!

    What a great place! A stream was nearby to check out, and we had plenty of space in this 2 bedroom basement apartment. Perfectly quiet and secluded! We’ve stayed in a lot of VRBOs through the years and this ranks as #1 with the amenities! They thought of everything! Eggs from their chickens in the fridge, extra just in case snacks, extra just in case toiletries, selection of games and things in the closets, a fan in each room, and the best selection of coffees and teas of anywhere! This was a phenomenal location for us to arrive to after visiting the Knik Glacier (get ice cream at Big Dipper!!) to then head into Hatcher Pass the next morning! Highly recommend for that area, and worth a little extra drive if you need to get to it!

    Everything about this place was way above what we were ever expecting. Misty and her family couldn't have been more pleasant to do business with and even more so once we got to meet them. Everything about the rental is top notch. Will plan on returning one of these days and hoping for another great stay.

    Such a relaxing and quaint stay. Amenities galore! We felt at home and thoroughly annoyed the stocked kitchen, fresh eggs, fresh snacks, and full coffee bar. We were sad our itinerary only had us there one night. Highest recommendation!

    Everything was amazing - the setting, the home, and host family! We loved our stay and enjoyed meeting Misty, CJ and family. The home was nicely done with great kitchen and large rooms. The little things supplied by the host were very thoughful and appreciated. The location was a little farther from town than we had hoped but was worth the drive. We would definitely stay here again!

    Absolutely enjoyed the space! They thought of everything. There was a coffee bar with all the goods, water bottles and juice, fresh eggs, and lots of snacks. It was also very toddler friendly for my 18 month old twins. I felt so rested after my stay.

    Really enjoyed the stay at this property. The unit was very clean. It was very nice that both rooms had king size beds. We didn't get to spend a lot time at the unit due to being in Wasilla for a basketball tournament, but would definitely stay again for future tournaments.

    Misty and CJ went above and beyond to make sure we were all comfortable and they were available and very responsive if we had questions or needed anything. This place had way more than we expected. We were thrilled and surprised to find fresh eggs in the fridge. We had a late arrival so those eggs made for a great breakfast the next morning until we had a chance to go shopping. The nearby little Susitna Chanel was nice for skipping rocks and exploring. Great, quiet location between Palmer and Wasilla. Beds are very comfortable, washer/dryer works great and is very quiet. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone exploring the area

    Comfortable, cozy, and relaxing. A great place away from the crazy of the city but close enough to explore everything. Fishhook would be a great place to live.

    This was the perfect place for us to stop over and rest on our way from Seward to Denali. We only stayed one night, but wish we could have stayed longer! Misty and her family were so hospitable and kind, the guest house had everything we needed and more. Everything was clean, the grounds were lovely and we enjoyed the quiet space. Also the salmon stream was really peaceful! We’d love to come back someday!
