I enjoyed sitting on the landing for the stairs and watching the sunrise. We also saw several planes take off. We felt like we were at a remote location in Alaska, but we had all the comforts of home. We are tall people and the shower is small, worth the stay, just be prepared. I would stay here again and again. You need to be physically able to carry your baggage up an outdoor stairway.A great place to stay in the Mat-Su Valley. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9e61b0f7-1fd0-40b3-b745-5bf988a7b083-1756569308919.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7145d190-d5b4-4e62-8e6a-394d820d487e-1756569310072.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Julie D.

It takes a little practice to figure out when start and stop the fireplace in order to keep an even temperature throughout the night but it is feasible (winter stay). ##### Sandra S.

Jun 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Private Lake House with Views galore The night at Story Hill Retreat was the best stay of our trip to Alaska. We felt very welcome, cozy, and Rebecca thought of everything we might need. We took a canoe for a trip out on the lake and even dove in for a swim. The guest house was very clean and tidy and we were able to watch some Netflix and do laundry. Rebecca gave us some recommendations for nearby attractions and the Musk Ox Farm was a hit! We just wish we had booked a second night :) ##### DaloyAndrea H. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa H.

It was cute, clean, and had a gorgeous view! I would mention to get to this particular cabin you had to park up a bit and carry luggage down a number of steps. Not an issue for us but it could be for some. There is another cabin you park right in front of. But again, loved our stay. ##### Lisa H. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara S.

I chose it also because it had its own washer and dryer, which allowed us to pack lighter and wash clothes part way through our trip. This little place was just perfect. Located in a private gated community on a hill overlooking a small lake. We only stayed one night so didn't make use of the kayaks and paddle boards that Rebecca had available. The place had all the amenities one could need (even a tiny oven/stove that we didn't use, but we did use the washer/dryer). The bathroom was roomy and cozy at the same time. Bedding and beds were exceptionally comfortable, with an array of different pillow types (including foam!), and the place had sturdy blackout blinds. Rebecca greeted us when we arrived to let us know she was right next door if we needed anything. Wonderful place. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area or just passing through. ##### Sara S.
