Check in was exactly as stated in the instructions. Every room was neat and very clean. The bear decor was very fitting and cute. The kitchen had sufficient pots, plates, utensils, etc. that we needed to cook our meals. The king bed was comfortable. The location has quick highway access. Clean up instructions were easy and straight forward. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great Place

The cabin was perfect. Decorated so nicely. Bed was super comfortable. Maybe too comfortable because we kept sleeping later than normal. I had to keep reminding myself that the picture window was not a painting. The view was that beautiful.

Cozy & Nice

Very comfortable for 2 people. Sleeps 4, but 2 would be in living room area on sofa sleeper. Location is great being close to Palmer & Wasilla, and is very quiet with beautiful Mountain views. The owners have the unit very well equipped with everything you may need. The decor was done very nicely & we really enjoyed our stay.

Better than I anticipated!

Lovely place to spend a week in Alaska. Visiting family and it was so nice to come back to a relaxing quiet and clean apartment. Everything we could think of was there for our convenience. Well worth the expense and made our trip so much better than a motel. Will return next trip for sure! Thanks Johnnie and and Donna for your attention to detail.
