Willow Forest Cabin • Family & 🐾 Pet Friendly • Sauna • Responsive Host

Experience Alaska year-round! Enjoy snowmachining and ice fishing in winter, or head to Hatcher Pass in summer for stunning views and gold panning. This cozy forest home is a perfect basecamp—just 30 minutes from Wasilla’s dining and shopping, and great for day trips to Denali. The home is heated with a reliable system built for Alaska’s winters. Just a heads-up: Being a bit off the grid, short power outages can happen (usually 1–3 hours). I respond quickly if there’s ever a longer one. The house is equipped with safety lighting and winter-ready features. WiFi is available but speeds may be limited.

Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

Celebrating wedding and first birthday

Description in ad, location, facility itself were all just as described and just as we wanted. The only negatives were more extra blankets and towels and washcloths would have been welcome. Having 2 beds, 2 baths was a great big extra. Kitchen had plenty of dishes/appliances.

Annual 4th of July Adventure w/Grandkiddos

Very comfortable property and room for all of us to sit and eat together as well as play together. The three dogs loved the huge front yard and had a blast running around. Nice firepit outside to sit around and enjoy each other every night roasting marshmellows! The property was very close to as listed. The only exception was that it is two streets over from the lake so not really a "cabin on the lake". Took us 2 days to find the lake; I would recommend a little walking map so others find it easier. It was great to have two bathrooms. The drawback on those was there was no hot water in the small bathroom connected to the purple bedroom.

Very nice property. Home owner was very prompt to get back with us when we messaged. We had a great stay. A friend of ours bought a place in Willow and unknowingly this rental was right across the street from his, so needless to say it made for a great visit. Got a glimpse of Denali from right in front of the hardware store in town. It is also close to a lake.

Comfy, Cozy Family Retreat

We stayed 2 weeks and will stay here again. Our host was great at communicating and easy to reach. The home is full of personal touches for comfort. Soft, cozy throw blankets and pillows, hot chocolate, coffee & tea provided. Kitchen was stocked with basic supplies as well as laundry detergent and bathroom personal hygiene products. They offer a boot dryer and hooks by the heater for cold weather gear. The drive was plowed early morning after a big snow fall, so we didn't have to wait to leave. The beds had warmers on them for cozy nights. They offer several toys and books for younger kids as well as soppy cups and even hooded bath towels. The outdoor space offered a fire pit, grill and picnic table. TV, internet and security system as well as full laundry room offers all the conveniences you hope for. The large open floor plan is ideal for family. The neighborhood is lovely and surrounds a lake. A convenience store and pizza shop are close by as well as a community center. We will be recommending this home to all our family and friends who visit Alaska.

Nice cabin, lots of extras

We really enjoyed our stay. There were a lot of extras that other rentals don't think about. The owners had extra things for people traveling with kids, extra items for cooking. Extra shampoos, personal hygiene items. We enjoyed being out in the woods but not too far from the main road. Loved the location for fishing. There was a nice fire pit. There was even a boot dryer. Close to nice rivers to fish.

Easy to rent. Decent price. Good location. When we arrived, we discovered only 1 roll of toilet paper in master bathroom. None in main bathroom. Contacted JD and he was very apologetic. Delivered a package immediately. Everything pretty clean except oven. That was too dirty to use. Clean bedding and linens. Kitchen well equipped with dishes, utensils, pots, appliances.
