Last weekend we took our family up for a winter getaway. Our family has a cabin in Petersville, but it was already "booked" for the weekend, so I had to look for another option! We met both Tom and Hal, who took good care of us. Hal loves to chat about the area, his dogs, local EMT work, and current events! The cabin had all the comforts of home, including WiFi (partially to my chagrin - we try to go to the cabin to get AWAY from technology), but my wife and nephews appreciated it. We enjoyed ice fishing, snowmachining, sledding, bonfires, cookouts, and relaxing and playing game inside. We will be back! But Tom, I want to put an order in for a SAUNA!! Haha. Book this cabin - you will enjoy it. I highly recommend it.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Thanks for your kind words we are constantly looking at was to improve our guests experience so that sauna may just happen.

Awesome!!!!. Beautiful cabin, beautiful outdoors. Wonderful hosts. Thank you for an exceptional winter experience. Thank you Ben for getting us out of the ditch. Thank you Hal and Nancy for your hospitality. It was great to meet you both.Owner response: Winter driving can be tricky the key is to take your half out of the middle of the road until another vehicle comes then slow down and ease over to the right just enough to let the other rig to go by.

My wife and I stayed at Amber Cove cabin for 3 nights. We took the paddle boat out and did some fishing for pike - caught several, including a monster. The cabin was clean, well furnished, and very comfortable. We saw several animals in the area, including moose and beavers. Make sure to bring bug spray. Talkeetna is a must visit. Would stay here again. Thanks.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Thanks for your kind words. We love spending time there away from the hustle of the City always relaxing.

Two families shared this great cabin on the lake - though frozen this time of year. We had a wonderful time snow machining and relaxing by the wood stove. The setting was peaceful, we even saw the northern lights! The hosts are wonderful and make sure you have everything you need for your stay. Having the separate downstairs for the TV room left the adults a quiet space. I would love to see it in the summer!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway.
Owner response: We are very pleased you had a good time and saw the Northern Lights!

Our family of five (including three young adults) really enjoyed our four days at the Amber Cove cabin. What a beautiful part of Alaska! The cabin was very nicely furnished. We enjoyed the use of the canoe and paddleboat, as well as the patio with fire pit. It was a great place for quiet get-away time, but we also recommend hiking in nearby Denali State Park, visiting Talkeetna, and driving a little further down Petersville Rd. for awesome views of Mt. McKinley (or Denali, as they call it in Alaska). Both the owner and the caretaker were SO friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this place!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Thanks for your kind words we enjoyed having you folks as guests.

The cabin is everything described and very well supplied. The solitude and silence was magnificent. We enjoyed watching the ice melt and being able to observe the wide variety of birds in their natural habitat. The location was perfect for our anniversary week and coming back to the cabin was a nice way to end each days adventure in and around the area.

Owner response: Thank You we try to provide a unique near wilderness experience but with all the amenities and convinces of home.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2009
About the owner: Our family's moved to Alaska in the early 70's. We moved here for the Alaskan Experience. During our pursuit of that experience the family became involved in staking out Alaskan Open-Entry land and taking advantage of public land auctions. The land this cabin sets on was purchased at auction. Our family grew up on this property and the 5 acres next door. Our children were raised here on weekends and summers at the cabin. We have built and re-built generator systems and installed off-grid electrical systems that now allow the cabins to be enjoyed year round. We have fished the lake extensively in winter and summer... we really know where to catch the Pike that dominate Amber Lake. We've explored the surrounding area in summer and winter for the past 20 years and can tell you where to go for a great experience all year round. We even found the submerged island in the middle of the lake. Let us show you where it is the next time you come to Amber Cove Cabin.
Why the Owner Chose Trapper Creek:
My mother purchased this property at a Alaska State Land Auction, site unseen in 1973 when Amber Lake was a fly-in only lake property. Ten years later the road was pushed back to Amber Lake. We then made our first ATV adventure to Amber Lake. This property took our breath away and soon we began building our first cabin. After almost 15 years of week-ends and summers at the cabin and 100's of repeat guests we have just finished our second cabin on the adjacent lot. We are very proud of our NEW cabin, because it boasts all the things we did correctly when building and furnishing the first cabin. We think Amber Cove Cabin will give our guests the best cabin experience ever.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
Amber Lake is a semi-remote recreation area with fantastic Pike fishing-- nearby streams and lakes offer some of Alaska's finest Salmon, Trout, & Pike fishing. It is less than 20 minutes from Petersville road recreation area. Petersville recreation area is located at the south end of Denali National Park with extensive ATV and snow machine trails. There are also 100's of miles of trails directly from the cabin. Amber Lake is a 2 mile long lake and is perfect for a full spectrum of watersports and winter sports. Float planes often fly in to Amber Lake from Anchorage. Air taxi service can be arranged, along with snow machine and/or ATV rentals.
