Beautiful views!
Beautiful views and comfortable stay! great communication and comfortable beds.
The cabin was very clean and the bed was quite comfy. The kitchen was well furnished. There were even enough eggs and milk for our breakfast along with coffee/ tea options. Granola bars and a few snack paks were a welcome treat. Great views of surrounding mts and atv tours are available at the office.

Beautiful
There were eggs & milk in the fridge for us plus oatmeal packets & small cold cereal boxes in the cabinet. It is so cute & quiet. The whole property is so well maintained. Would definitely stay here again
Beautiful location, very nice and spacious cabins, pretty clean. The downside is I rented a cabin with three beds, why one earth would you charge extra for more than two people ? Very odd when it’s a cabin made for at LEAST three people. Make your price up front and don’t sandbag extra charges.
The host, Lina is great! She & her husband are quite responsive and helpful. They kept their words - whatever they offered before check-in, they provided and kept the promise. They also provided pre-served breakfast which we didn't expect. We are super happy staying in their cottage - wonderful experience! Thank YOU both.
Tremendous!
This place is amazing and we will come back for sure!
We LOVE IT!
Thank you so much

The cottage is spacious and convenient with a kitchen stocked with milk, eggs, oatmeal, trail bars, enough for a good breakfast. It’s very quiet and peaceful, just a little remote, but not too bad.
Cute, well put together cabin. Easy access and parking next to cabin. Beautiful scenery. The only thing I would add is a short stick with a hook to lower bshades over the bed.
It was entertaining watching the helicopters take off and return from their trips. Property well maintained, clean, easy check in. Super quite beautiful view of the mountains and nice selection of breakfast items in the cabin. Would definitely stay again
Here's an edited version of your review:
This Alaskan cottage is the ideal stop on the way to Denali. The space is immaculate and tastefully decorated, creating a cozy, cabin-in-the-woods atmosphere. Matti was quick to respond to my messages, and the breakfast items provided were a thoughtful touch. With plenty of room for our family of five, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Such a beautiful place to stay. Great location to reach the nearby reindeer farm. Some breakfast food was provided and a washer and dryer were in the cabin. Highly recommended!
