"It was our third year visiting and the cabin is absolutely perfect. The location, the setting, the communication and just everything. The hosts, Paul and Ginny, are exceptional and always go above and beyond. Already planning our return Winter Wonderland vacation."

"Room has an amazing view. Bed and linens were good. Pillows a bit flat. Bathroom needs update. Had to call out the for service about the toilet being clogged twice. Very nice service staff. Had plenty of food options onsite. Overall pretty nice place. A bit on the pricey side though. "

"The staff and inside conditions were good. However, being outside the executive airport, busy highway, and never ending Alaskan days (4:30 am to 11 pm) make sleeping difficult. Off property you’re in the hood … guys on the corner selling dry goods and drinking from brown paper bags. 😬"
