• Lovely Home, it's the small touches!!

  5/5

  This lovely home is a labor of love. Owner built, piece by piece, and you can tell. Super clean!! Did not even see a cobweb!! Off the beaten track along side a river. Gorgeous. Saw moose across the river and the Aurora at night during the clear nights. Beautiful! Everything was as pictured and described! Warm heated floors. Softened water. A garage!! Bonus!! Loved the induction stove! Every kind of coffee maker and hot water maker there is.Sleeping arrangements for two couples was good as bedrooms are on different sides of the house. Each had their own bathroom from the halls. Comfortable couches in the LR. The laundry room was perfect for drying our snowy coats, hats, etc. Very nice place!! The only downside, VERY MINOR, was we would have liked more of the deck shoveled. The front steps were icy until we chipped the ice away. No biggie. We are from Colorado Rockies and we know you have to get the snow up right away or you have ice until April. But just a great place to stay. Warm and welcoming and would stay again.

• 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.

  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.
