Exactly what we hoped for!!!
5/5 The cabin ticked all the boxes for our Alaskan winter vacation. It was remote enough that we saw moose from the cabin, as well as had a fantastic night of aurora viewing from its outdoor firepit and river’s edge. Saying that, the cabin is close enough (15 min drive) to North Pole for shopping etc. And the quality of the cabin was what the website photos depicted. We were very happy with our choice to stay here. Thanks to Bonita and John!!

Aurora Trip
5/5 Property exceeded all expectations. Very tastefully decorated and the hosts went above and beyond with providing all of the essentials to get started. Beautiful home and location. We came for the Northern Lights, but we would come back just to enjoy all that the property and its location has to offer.

Perfect place for Aurora watching and winter activities.
5/5 It was a magical visit. Our whole family joined us and we saw the aurora which was spectacular. The house was cozy, well maintained and clean. The host was responsive to our questions. We had one issue and the co-host came over right away to assist in getting it resolved.

5/5 John and Bonita’s cabin was perfect for our family. Everything is as pictured and had everything we needed. The cabin and property was beautiful in every way, I was so impressed that John built the cabin himself!!! It was so special! They were AMAZING hosts answering all our questions quickly. We would love to return and definitely stay here.
