Lovely little cottage nestled in the woods of the Matanuska Valley. Was perfect for what I needed. Would suggest for a single person or a couple who simply need a place to rest and sleep after adventuring in the winter, or exploring the State Fair in August and September. Bed is comfy and the water pressure is sublime. Open the windows and you’ll be greeted by birdsong in the mornings!

I was visiting family in Alaska and the Forrestlane Cottage was perfect. The location was close by and the cottage itself was ideal. The footprint is small and cozy, and the place was clean and exceptionally well maintained, with everything I needed for a quick trip. The hosts were very responsive to any questions that I had and helpful throughout my visit. I would highly recommend this property and will to look to book again any time I'm in the area.
