We were very impressed with our stay. It was beautiful, quiet, and very clean. The only thing was the deposit, we felt like we could not fully relax and enjoy the space without constantly wiping down the surfaces and double checking that there was minimal traces that we were there

Perfect little cabin!

My friend and I stayed here for three nights and it couldn't have been nicer. It was so well equipped, there was nothing we had to worry about! Craig was a great host and was super responsive. We will absolutely stay again next time we are in the area!

Secluded, Perfect Central Hub for Adventures

The cabin was everything we needed it to be: clean, cozy, all the necessities, little details that made a difference (charging cord, fans, hot pressure shower, traction strips on stairs, seasonings, games). Craig and Danielle were absolutely wonderful hosts: friendly, communicative, generous, and great dinner guests ;). The location was private and a quick drive to Palmer and Wasilla, so a great base to explore the Mat-Su Valley and Hatcher Pass. We will absolutely stay here again when we come back through Alaska to visit friends.

This mini house is so efficient and cute! The owners never missed a beat in decorations. Everything you could need is there- so if you forget snacks or a toothbrush, you have a backup. The owners were very responsive if you have any questions. I loved staying here and would absolutely stay again!
