It's been in our family for decades. Has a good wood stove, gas stove, refrigerator with sleeping for 4 and room to spare. Lake access is right out the door for your recreational needs. A dock is available if you have a boat you want to bring. Lots of area to hike with amazing views. Fire pit is also on location to use if desired. This is a dry cabin with no running water. It has a indoor Porta potty system over in thr corner but a nice outhouse is up the hill by the parking area The main road into this property has steep hills and is not for the faint of heart but safe. You have to walk down a steep trall from the house to get to the cabin. Good walking shoes are recomended. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Area rugs in public areas - No elevator - Designated smoking areas ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near the marina - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Kayak - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Comprehensive food waste policy - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Recycling - Unit size: 450 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114230000/114224300/114224300/1ea2c3fe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy studio cabin in Wasilla for a peaceful getaway Wasilla - Pet friendly - Mountain view [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-06&endDate=2026-02-07&selected=114224300&PinnedHotelID=114224300&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101320000/101313900/101313894/7d84b77b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Happy Bear Cozy Bungalow with Large Back Yard close to Anchorage Wasilla Anchorage - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 37 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-06&endDate=2026-02-07&selected=101313894&PinnedHotelID=101313894&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117780000/117772100/117772006/32817d84.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy studio in lovely Anchorage with WiFi Nearby Restaurants close to Downtown Midtown Anchorage - Parking available - Microwave 7.6 Good 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-06&endDate=2026-02-07&selected=117772006&PinnedHotelID=117772006&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, travel crib, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111630000/111621100/111621015/3d768d7b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Denali Nook in UMED District & University prk!
