This beautiful and secluded cabin is exactly what you picture when you think of an Alaska getaway! Close to year-round recreation at both Hatcher Pass and Government Peak, this is a location that outdoor lovers and adventure enthusiasts will love. Downtown Wasilla is just a quick drive away and provides great shopping and dining options.

This listing is for the large main house on the property (please note that there is a separate apartment that may be rented by other tenants during your stay). The main house boasts over 2,900 square feet of living space, with soaring ceilings, charming wood finishes, and rustic decor catching your eye the moment you step inside. The open-concept living room, dining area, and kitchen come together in perfect unison, promoting quality family time. Tune into your favorite TV shows in the living room as the chef of the group whips up delicious dishes in the kitchen. A gas grill is available right outside when you want to escalate your cooking.

Also on the main level of the home, discover a private washer/dryer and the primary suite. Upstairs, the kids will adore the play loft, the children's toys, and having access to their own bathroom.

Outside, the wraparound porch provides a lovely space to watch the morning sunrises and the evening sunsets. As another day of vacation ends, build a fire in the firepit and indulge in some s'mores and campfire stories.
