This was a perfectly situated cabin with the mountains in view and the perfect stop to stay after traveling from anchorage back to Fairbanks.

Stunning views, full Alaskan experience, nice vibe

Two families (of which 5 kids stayed in the bunk house), felt very special to be given this opportunity to enjoy Alaskan cabin life. We had a great time. The surrounding landscape is overwhelming and makes you feel modest. Unique experience.
