This property is ideal for a couple wanting to have peace and quiet and then venture out for site seeing. Ideal location for north of anchorage. The accommodations were comfortable especially the bed. Had fun watching float planes take off. Haley had so many thoughtful items for us and was quite helpful helping us find her location. Would stay again in the future.

We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin! Haley was so easy to communicate with for directions to the property, check-in, and suggestions for fun things to do in the area. The cabin was ready when we arrived, and stocked with coffee, creamer, and other kitchen and bath essentials. We spent our time in the area taking tours to Katmai and to Hatcher's Pass. With being so busy, we extra appreciated the incredibly comfortable bed! I wish we had more time to spend out on the lake behind the cabin but that will have to wait for a return trip. We will definitely be staying here again!
