15th Anniversary

My wife and I had the extreme pleasure of renting this cozy cabin for our 15th wedding anniversary and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with everything about it. Haley the owner was very communicative and the property was just how it was described. I hope we have an opportunity to go back to Alaska so we can stay there again.

Perfect location in quiet area

We stayed here due the location to the Grizzly Fitness Center for a basketball tournament. It was super close and perfect. Communication was excellent and the place was cozy and clean and just what we needed. Hope it's available for all the tournaments next year!

Great host, good location to the valley

Our 2nd stay. Very happy with the place. Fits what we are looking for when we come to town and visit family. Good for small families that enjoy a quiet setting in the valley.

Excellent rental!

The property owner was wonderful to work with. She made sure we knew about different places we could go visit as well as some great restaurants. She checked to make sure we didn’t have any problems finding the location - we didn’t. The cabin itself was very nice and very clean. The view was amazing and the location was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. It was plenty of space, a great kitchen and lots of extras!

Comfortable and clean cozy cabin!

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin! The cabin was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed to make our weekend perfect. The host went above and beyond—providing clear directions and sharing great tips for local spots to shop and dine. It’s clear they put a lot of thought into making sure guests feel welcome and at home. Whether relaxing in the cabin or exploring the area, everything about our stay was seamless. We can’t wait to come back!

Such a kind host, was willing to give detailed directions, sent suggestions for things to do places to eat, the place felt like home and was very quiet and safe!! We had a great time enjoying the view off the porch and watching the swans on the lake!! Hopefully she will accept us back in the summer so we can use a kayak and swim!!
