Incredible place for a quiet getaway.
Very secluded and peaceful property, but not too far from town. Absolutely loved the inclusion of the creek and kayaks to go exploring. Plenty of space for a whole family or group of friends, but still small enough to feel homey.

Great property!
This property was clean and welcoming, with a great host and quaint views of the river. The check in process was easy and we were welcomed with muffins, Alaskan coffee, a bottle of wine and the history of the property. We didn't utilize the kayaks but did use the fire pit. The bedrooms where set up wonderfully with more than enough room of our group of 6.

Staying at the compound.
Great location for our needs and nice set up for our extended family. Private and quiet location without being too remote. Short drive to Wasilla, manageable drive to Anchorage for airport pick up and drop off, groceries and restaurant just around the corner in Big Lake. House was clean and offered all the basics we needed. Enjoyed having access to a washer and dryer, the iron was an added bonus!

Great location and property
This property worked well for our stay and travel purposes. Pro: We were able to do the Matanuska Glacier Hike/Tour—highly recommend!! Cons: The house is a duplex so you might have another rental group on the property with you…there was no hot tub, although it was listed as an amenity. More pros: The creek behind the house is beautiful, peaceful, and fun for kayaking/fishing. Would stay here again!

So glad you enjoyed your stay Madelyn! As I mentioned, the hot tub listing was a glitch in the system I THOUGHT we got corrected with VRBO. Hopefully it has finally been done. As far as another rental group in the duplex at the same time, we clearly state we do not do that in our listings, the other side of the unit is only rented when we have large parties.

We saw a beaver!
Our stay at Fort Alaska was amazing! The host worked with us for payment options and was available for any questions. They left us some goodies upon arrival and that was so appreciated to have breakfast ready before we went to the grocery store. The girls loved having the lower level of the house to themselves and all being together. The views were amazing, beds were comfortable and the history of the property was interesting. We took the kayaks upstream and were able to see the beaver and a flock of willow ptarmigan (relative to the puffin). We would definitely recommend this home to others. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great Fishing Trip
I rented the space for myself and four other work buddies. We realized when we got there that five grown men each wanted their own space. The hosts were kind enough to open an extra bedroom for us to use last minute. The place was extra clean and the beds comfy. We used the heck out of the BBQ, plenty of spices etc to help us cook. We enjoyed fishing on a pontoon boat on Big Lake, and the Nature Conservancy about an hour away. Kobuk the Bear is quite an entertainer when in the mood! The property itself is right on a creek, so we waded in the water to catch a bite. They also have bikes, fishing poles, and kayaks for use which was cool. We were even provided a dozen muffins, coffee and creamer, which was great since we got in at 2am.
Oh — also, one of our party forgot their AirPods at the house. They were shipped back to us from the hosts! Thank you, Carrie!

Lovely stay
The house is simply beautiful on the inside. The floors and furniture were a lovely dark wood and the artwork was really pretty. The house is well stocked and very comfortable. There was even a firepit that was all set up with plenty of wood, though it did rain the entire time we were there so we couldn't take advantage of it. The creek is very close and it had many salmon when we stayed in mid-August. The location was great, about an hour from Anchorage, three hours from Denali and 30-40 minutes from a couple of other places we visited. There were also several little towns nearby where we found plenty of restaurants.
The owner was responsive and even stopped by to make sure that our stay was going smoothly and that we didn't need anything. She also cared enough to make sure we had contingency plans when she realized that my sister was returning to Florida while a hurricane was hitting the state.
One downside was that the road was nearby when outside by the creek and so traffic noise was frequent and louder than we'd have liked. That was a minor issue compared to the positive aspects of the property.

My oh my!!
Fort Alaksa was an amazing place to stay and far exceeded our expectations.
Space and accommodations. The Fort slept our family of four adults and two children very comfortably. We even had room for more! From pizza pans, games, and bug spray, the Fort really does have it all
Location. For us, the location could not have been better. We were there to visit family in Palmer, but also ventured out to Anchorage and other surrounding areas.
The property Fort Alaksa is located on is beautiful and secluded. And did I mention the Fort has it all! Bikes, balls, kayaks, fire pit, lots of outdoor seating! Easy access to the creek made kayak launching simple and so fun. We saw what we thought were beavers, but after some googling, we learned they were muskrats.
The hosts are really good people. It's obvious they want your stay to be comfortable, enjoyable and memorable. They were available and easy to communicate with when needed. They really did go above and beyond!!
We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend as THE place you must stay!!

We found it fully stocked with toilet paper, laundry detergent, and other necessities. The fluffy towels were a nice touch!

What more do you need?
The house slept 11 adults (3 couples, could have been 4) and were extremely comfortable. Kitchen was nicely stocked with some of the necessities and utensils - there are 12 large coffee cups. Two bathrooms with beautiful showers worked great and we never ran out of hot water.
Outside has a nice fire pit with wood, a comfortable seating area under a metal patio. Bikes, kayaks and other equipment is available for use (some for a fee).
The location is a former fish hatchery so you'll see remnants of it about. There are some trails, a small creek and a nested pair of Swallows in a bird house.
There is a road near the house, but we weren't disturbed by the traffic during the day or night.
Like the title eludes, what more do you need? Yes, there's even a variety of mosquito sprays.

What an amazing place !!
My family loved this place, in fact we're already planning to come back next year. There's a creek with salmon in it literally steps away from the back door.
We kayaked down to Big Lake in the creek. It's four miles each way.
The house was fully equipped, and nicely furnished, and we enjoyed eating our meals outside.
There's a Three Bears market (mini Costco) right around the corner. Which is a good place to get for food.
Did I mention we're already planning to come back next year?
Another plus is the Ardvark restaurant, they have good food. The town of Wasilla is just minutes away.

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Jeff & Carrie Maichel
Jeff Maichel has owned the Fort for 15 years. Semi retired from the pipeline industry Jeff still has a pipeline company that operates and a tool building company in Oklahoma City. He has spent much time in Alaska and with properties in Ketchikan and Big Lake. In Jeff's younger years he King Crab fished out of Kodiak and spent time in the gold fields near Denali. The years have settled him down a bit with his wife and partner of 38 years Carrie who manages the details of the Fort. Come visit our beautiful retreat.
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
You can escape from the world at our Fort, but since the owners of this property are business people reliable communication and being able to run a business from the property is a priority. Advanced internet has been installed and is available throughout the whole property. The property consists of 9 private acres with lots of room to relax and explore. During the summer watch the wildlife and salmon and during the winter many winter sports and activities are near by. The property was once home to the Big Lake Fish Hatchery with some of the history remaining. The property was designed after the owner has spent 25 years on the road at various locations around America. The design offers clean and tasteful accommodations in classy comfort with a semi remote location where you can relax or work if you have to!
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
The Property is on a natural salmon bearing stream and with a private entrance to this natural compound we call "Fort Alaska". It is close to activities yet offers private 9 acres of isolated security. The property has natural gas central heating for easy temperature control. Easy access to Big Lake but without the loudness of the lake during the summer months. Downtown Wasilla is 20 minutes away but the Fort is remote enough to still feel like Alaska.
