Nice little cottage outside town
Cute cottage however the lighting was dim.
Towels were beige and okay.
The loft had a full bed but a small space to stand upright.
Bathroom door did not latch and lock. Also bit cramped to place any toiletries.
Place did not have a fan just a humidifier for air circulation. It was quiet and peaceful around the property with nice outdoor fire pit area.
Location is outside town of Seward in back country road.

I wasn’t going to leave a review but I figured it would be helpful for other potential people looking to camp here. When I first got here I was super confused on where to park and honestly not expecting so many people to be staying on the property. I booked a tent site with the assumption that it was more of a regular campsite - a little space to yourself, fire pit, etc. It was indeed not like that at all. I called the owner when I first got there to help ease confusion and she seemed really kind and helpful on the phone on where to park and where to camp. However, I did have my two dogs with me and they’re not super friendly with strangers. The last thing I wanted was for them to have their barking annoy others and to also be a bit aggressive toward people walking nearby (2 Great Pyrenees). The camping was not exclusive spaces but rather more of a communal camping with strangers and sharing a sole fire pit. I sat on my car and considered whether or not to stay after waiting all day for 4pm to roll around. I instead decided to make the drive from Seward back home to Fairbanks rather than staying that night. It seemed like a great place to stay with a group of family or friends but not so much as a female by herself. Just felt as though the camping sites weren’t as transparent about the space as I thought when booking.

We enjoyed our stay, the floors were sticky, we got a double bed instead of a queen. The cabin was really nice and loved the Bear necessities!
Très bien agencé. Nous avons passé un excellent sejour dans ce très mignon cottage décoré avec gout . Notre hôte était charmante et réactive à toutes demandes .
