  • A truly unforgettable Alaskan experience

    5/5

    I booked this gorgeous cabin/home to host family and my father’s return to Alaska in >50 years. We decided on this home for a truly Alaskan experience, but ended up with so much more. The building is rustic and beautiful with an open layout, gorgeous furs/taxidermy, and all the amenities we needed. There is a small TV, but we honestly did not even turn it on. The wrap-around porch offers absolutely breath-taking views all while providing a sense of warmth and serenity. Our stay was made all the more special upon meeting Katie (our host) and finding out this was her family’s home for years. She shared with us some wonderful memories and tips to locating some ‘memorabilia’ that her children contributed to the property over the years (adding to its charm). I don’t want to call this a cabin, because it really is a home. Aside from the property itself, the offered expeditions are a must-do. The zip-line course is a truly inspiring construction project and offers a great adrenaline rush while the horse-back riding is a serene experience with gorgeous landscapes and dynamic terrains. Despite all these wonderful features, the greatest attribute of this property is the people. It doesn’t take long to figure out that Katie is a truly incredible woman and a beautiful human being. The people she has helping on property are equally as wonderful. They are all quick to make a joke, kind, personable, and yet professional. It is the culmination of these that has me missing Alaska every day.

    5/5

    Looking back 5+ years I believe the view from this cabin is in the top two vacation rentals we've experienced. Additionally, the cabin is amazing inside with all of the amenities and space you need for a big group. Our family of 14 (8 adults and 4 children) was comfortable and never in each other's way. The youngest slept on the couch in the common area, while the rest of us were in beds.

    We all enjoy cooking and sharing meals together, and found everything we needed for grilling, baking, cooking, etc. We made several meals here and really enjoyed from the deck. As others kindly mentioned, this place has a gas oven and it cooks different than a typical electric oven. We found that baking on the lowest rack kept things like biscuits and pies from burning (i.e. not as close to the flame).

    Aside the meals, this cabin gave us ample opportunity to share great family time and conversation. We did everything from puzzles, card games, hot-tubbin', kicking a soccer ball, hide-and-seek and campfire s'mores to morning coffee (a.m) and adult beverages (p.m.) on the deck. The only thing we didn't do, was turn on the TV...so I can 't speak to that. (But that's kinda the point, right?)

    We also did one excursion to the Independence Mine and one to Palmer for dinner. Everything is within reach of a modest drive, but the cabin is set away enough to feel almost isolated. We saw a little bit of activity with the neighbors and family with the horses, but otherwise it was just us.

    This was our first experience with 24hr sunlight, so for other's benefit I would recommend eye masks, mainly for those in upstairs bedrooms. We were prepared because of other helpful reviews we read before traveling.

    If you want some peace and quiet for a large (or small) group, in some of the most beautiful surroundings you can find, this is the place for you. Everything you need is within a short drive, but come prepared and you'll find plenty of reasons not to go anywhere. I absolutely recommend this place and hope to return to experience it in the winter sometime as well.

  • First Alaska Trip

    5/5

    We couldn’t have wanted a more perfect property to experience our first trip to Alaska. The home was beautiful inside and out, with amazing vistas all around. Getting to the house was easy with the GPS, and the trip in and out was truly amazing. The house was nicely equipped with everything we needed to get our vacation started and throughout the trip. The owner was easily accessible to answer questions and provide help when needed. The location was very good as a jumping off for trips to Anchorage, glaciers, wonderful restaurants and shopping. I would have to say it was absolutely perfect for all our needs and expectations for our first Alaskan trip. We would all make a return visit in a heartbeat. Much thanks to the owners for sharing their beautiful home with us.
