Family Vacation
We came up for a family vacation and to visit friends who live in the area. The house was perfect for us with a large kitchen and gathering area. We enjoyed big family breakfasts with a beautiful view. The property owner, Rick-was onsite in a small cabin so we were able to visit with him and would have loved to spend more time with him. We drove to Denali for a day-spent a day in Talkeetna, did a day in Anchorage and Friday Fling in Palmer- just so much to see and do with beauty surrounding in every direction. Now off to Kenai for us

Upscale cabin home with amazing view
Beautiful cabin home in a quiet neighborhood. We were able to sit and enjoy coffee and visit with the gorgeous view of the mountains out the front window. House was very clean with amazing upscale bathrooms. Ricky was great to communicate with and offered many suggestions for things to do and restaurants in the area. Would definitely stay here again.
