This is a very special place. It is about 35 minutes outside of Anchorage, about 15 minutes from Eagle River. It is just 3 minutes off of the highway, but yet it feels like you are in the woods. The unit itself is very nice, very spacious, clean and comfortable. It had pretty much all the things you will need to stay and be comfortable. The "kitchen" is very small, with a small fridge, but it met our needs. The bedrooms were spacious, and very comfortable, with TVs in both rooms. There isn't much on TV, but we brought our Amazon fire TV stick with us, so we just plugged it into the one in the first bedroom. The WIFI worked very well.
The owner, who lives on site, is SUPER friendly, and helpful. He let us use his grill so we could cook dinner one night. He also let us adopt his dog, Cooper, while we were there, which was great, cause we were missing our pups. Cooper would hang out with us each morning as we got ready for the days' adventures.
There is a wildlife reserve just up the road, but the day we decided to go check it out, there was a bike race there, so we decided to skip it. That's actually a big regret on my part, cause it is supposed to be amazing.
One night while coming back to the place, we saw two moose lounging in the wetlands along the highway. We stop and took pictures and video, a nice bonus!
There is a Wal-Mart about 10 minutes away, so you can stop and get food or whatever for your stay. We found the prior tenants had left some beer, butter and other stuff, and we left some stuff too.
I would go back here in a heartbeat if I wanted to stay in the area!
