You'll get the whole house, 3 acres of privacy, an amazing view, rustic seats on the bluff and all the amenities you need. The house was custom built by us in 2000 and has a VERY OPEN floor plan. What we mean by a very open floor plan is there are NO doors upstairs. The master bedroom faces the mountains and the stunning view! It is separated by open hallway and a curtain. So please only consider booking our house if you are very comfortable with the folks you are traveling with! The second bedroom is located in a quiet section of a large room above the garage that also serves as the living room...again NO doors it is all one room. That space can also support a queen size air mattress. Again, we offer the perfect space for a family or group of very close friends.

There is a couch and loveseat upstairs and the decor is totally Alaskan. Downstairs is another loveseat, a full kitchen with a table right in front of a giant window looking out at the mountains. There is a full bathroom downstairs off of the kitchen- yes it has a door.

You will be off the beaten path, but within striking distance of much of the greatness Alaska has to offer! The road to the house is a dirt road. The driveway and outer portion of the house is dirt/gravel as well. Please be aware that the area can be muddy if there has been a lot of rain. That includes the driveway and area around the house.

Important to note about our house; it is a custom log house with some leveling challenges. During the spring-summer the permafrost changes, the ground sinks and floors become unlevel. We work hard each season remediate shifting; but would like to be open and clear that you be aware that floors may be unlevel during your stay, which also effects some of the ground floor doors, they still work, just not flawlessly.

At the house you will have tv, wi-fi, and a telephone for local calls. There are cell phone towers near-by that support GCI and AT&T service. Other mobile providers may not provide adequate service in the area.

    My wife and I spent 2 nights here while we explored Wrangell-St. Elias NP. We were awestruck by the incredible views of the Copper River and Mt Drum from the edge of the bluff. The cabin was well stocked with needed supplies, clean, and very cozy.If we ever find ourselves back in Alaska, this is at the top of the list of places to stay!!

    Beautiful cabin with even more beautiful views of the Copper River. Hosts were great about communicating information for location and how to get in. Clean and basic. Nothing over the top inside but everything was provided and it was very clean. Kitchen was stocked with minimal pots/pans but lots of plates/cups/silverware. Outdoor grill was nice to have. Comfy bed, quiet peaceful location. There are some quirks that owners were aware of because of the settling and freeze/thaw cycle.

    Beautiful location, comfortable log cabin setting overlooking the river. This is not a 4 seasons, but if you are ok with ruffing it a bit its great.

    Very nice, modern, clean, comfortable cabin with large windows facing a stunning view of the mountains. Full kitchen and washer and dryer. We enjoyed the fire pit overlooking the river. The location was private in a beautiful setting. We would definitely rent again. Highly recommended.
