The cabin was cute, clean, and exactly as it was pictured. It had everything we needed, and the hosts daughter brought us some delicious cookies.
If you're looking for a cabin while visiting Anch.
Cabin was clean and cozy, very comfortable for two people. Close enough to Anchorage but still felt secluded. Saw a moose on a side road near cabin. We would stay here again if ever back in the area.
Perfect cabin! We stayed 2 weeks and it was in the perfect location. Very clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook with! Bed & Futon Bed were very comfortable. Owners are very close to the cabin and very sweet and helpful. Definitely would stay here again!
The cabin was everything we expected. Matt and Julie were excellent hosts. We were treated to an unusual Lynx sighting. The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed. Highly recommend this stay!
property was very clean had everything we needed to make our stay very comfortable. saw a moose in thectard and another going in.close to anchorage and several smaller towns and glaciers.matt and julie and precious daughters and thier dog sadie were spectacular.
We actually had the pleasure of pulling in and meeting the owner and his young daughter and family pet who all was very nice and pleasant...
We never even knew they was there
They never bothered us or anything... we r looming forward to coming back for 4th of july weekend
The location was really perfect. Close enough to services - grocery store 20 minutes away, but far enough out to feel secluded. Although I didn’t see, moose and bear roamed the property while I was there. Great meeting the hosts and family. I will say, the cabin is closer to their house than I thought - but this really wasn’t a problem and actually seldom saw the owners. Cabin was really nicely outfitted, with a lot of extras, plenty of spices for cooking, etc. it is small - i.e. cute. I was alone so not a problem, but the bed is probably a double (?) and I think would be kind of tight for 2 people, but if so, there’s a futon in the LR. So.. I do give the place and experience 5 stars. (This was the first VRBO I’ve stayed at.)
a really cute little cottage with all the ammenities you’d need for a stay including a laundry with washing powder and a washing basket, kitchen cupboards stocked with snacks, bowls and cutlery, and even streaming networks on the tv and multiple spare towels and blankets! only thing i would change would be to have a tv in the bedroom or the lounge facing the tv
We stayed before ski season. Survey wouldn’t allow NA or no entry. Nice cozy cabin close to town and convenient for sightseeing. Easy to find. Enjoyed our stay.
The cabin was a perfect little getaway from the hustle and bustle of my cousins wedding. We didnt get to see any wildlife but it was still a perfect little place.
It was an excellent location. We loved that it wasn’t in the city, but it wasn’t a long drive to all the Anchorage stops on our itinerary. Very convenient. Loved Sadie.

Wonderful, well stocked cabin with everything we needed during our stay. Close enough to all of the things to do in and around Anchorage, but far enough away from the city to feel secluded and enjoy the natural scenery. I would definitely recommend staying here.
Exactly what was listed. My wife and I stayed for 2 nights at the start of our Alaska tour. We will be returning to this same cabin to close out the final days here. Host was great and responded to all questions that we had.
My wife and I stayed in this cozy little cabin while visiting anchorage and it was absolutely perfect. The location is great if you don’t want to be in the city, and they have a very sweet dog that will greet you when arriving. We loved our stay and will definitely try to book again if we come back to anchorage!
The property was as advertised. We really enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed was provided only had to get food. It is in a great location out of town but not far and was able to quickly get to were we wanted to go. Would stay again. Thanks for the great place.
Such a perfect little cabin in the mountains! Appreciated learning the history of the property and how toasty the heater kept us. A well stocked kitchen made it very easy to stay in and stay cozy when we were done exploring for the day. Thank you for being such great hosts!
