The nights were cool but the cabin was toasty warm. Shopping was relatively close and we kept busy during the day exploring the local attractions. The cabin was comfortable and we were able to cook our meals in the kitchen. Loved the large grass field around the cabin. We enjoyed visiting family close by and expect to stay here again in the future. ##### Greg L. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelly R.

Very well equipped and super clean. Beautiful property on a large private lot with outdoor grill and fire ring which we used for dinner the two nights we stayed. The host even provided some fresh muffins in the frig when we arrived. My wife and I slept on the pullout downstairs which was actually pretty comfortable except for the foam pillows ;) Would definitely recommend. ##### Scott Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina Sep 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This cabin is so cute and the location is perfect for sightseeing. Stunning Hatcher Pass is close by as are a variety of other sites. Palmer and Wasilla are a short drive. You pass the Little Susitna near the entrance lane and from the cabin you can see mountains and moose! Love having laundry facilities onsite, the bedroom is spacious and pretty, and the bathroom was great. Communications were easy, too. Would definitely return!! ##### Christina Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MICHAEL B. Sep 25, 2025 ##### MICHAEL B.
