Cute property very well equipped with everything you could need! Above and beyond thoughtfully appointed. I was a little taken back at how close the other house was. I was hoping for a more solitary experience. Overall though absolutely great!

Great cabin for couples!
Cozy cabin close to Alaska Helicopter Tours but far enough away from all the noise. Nice, quiet, and peaceful. Beautiful mountain views. Lots of attention to detail on the inside of the cabin.
Exactly what I needed. The people who set this up are excellent at what they do and have done very well. Would recommend to anyone. Beautiful cabin and beautiful area.

Amazing Stay!
In our entire 2 week stay in Alaska this was by far our favorite place to stay. To say they made us feel at home would be an understatement. The minute we walked in the cabin we were amazed by all of the extra touches that were put into making us feel welcome.The hosts were incredibly helpful as well. They gave suggestions and answered any questions that we had about the area. Please don’t prejudge by the drive in. You will be on somebody’s property where you will pass campers and a house driving back to this cabin. That is part of the Alaskan charm.They have set the bar so high for all other vrbo’s.
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.

Wonderful mid-week retreat
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.

Above and Beyond
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!
Great communication. Quite nice people. Beautiful cabin and area!! Definitely going back.

First Alaska Trip
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.

Cabin getaway
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.
