"We reserved this unit last minute due to another vrbo having to cancel. It was absolutely perfect for our family! It's even more beautiful than the pictures online depict. It was our first time to Alaska in winter time and the place was cozy, had beautiful views out of the large windows. There were plenty of blanks and all the furniture was comfortable. The home was very clean, smelled good, and had plenty of all the necessities plus some extras - like a stocked coffee station, bath salts for the soaking tub, laundry detergent, kitchen storage containers. There were plenty of hooks and storage for winter gear also. The kitchen was amazing! There were enough pots, pans, serving bowls, SHARP knives, very nice equipment, which was great, since I did a lot of cooking for the family all week and for Easter dinner. The extra large table with room to spare even allowed us to have a dinner party! The upstairs suite was lovely with a comfortable bed and plenty of room. The game room worked well for our daughter to sleep in when she wasn't sleeping in the living room beause she loved the windows. It's a wonderful place, and I hope to have another opportunity to stay there. "

"Our host, Elke, was terrific! Prompt responses to meet our needs & comfort. The home was perfect! Well-equipped, clean, comfy, & inviting! The views are ah-mazing! We hit the snow mobile trails right from the house, chased the aurora, & Elke took us on a wonderful mushing adventure! Checked much off the bucket list here! HIGHLY recommend! "

"Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cabin. The location was great for aurora viewing and all the outdoor activities we had planned. The host was always responsive and very accommodating with our checkout time, for which we are very grateful. The cabin was well stocked with games, movies, pots and pans, towels, laundry items and paper goods. They even supplied the coffee! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Russell and Monique for allowing us to stay in your lovely cabin. "

"This was a great home for our needs. The house was clean and very warm and had all the basic needs. As an FYI due to the ruralness of this property do not expect anything like extra kitchen or bathroom supplies left from previous guest like in most rentals. Be sure to take all those type of items with you. We would most definelty rent this home again."

"The cabin was beautiful and perfect for the two of us. Everything was lovely.We got a little lost on the way there, but Maria guided us and we were able to find it. It’s important to have her personal contact number in case something like that happens.It was a complete great adventure."

"Check in and communication easy. Host perfect. Such a cute venue and an amazing experience being in the bus very very comfortable and creative. Saw northern lights from the yard out front and overhead. Most windows face north. Fire pit nice to have had smores. Heater works great stays warm in cozy bed and inside bus regardless of temps outside was minus 20 Fahrenheit but inside cozy. Out house is only time you would be cold. "

"The cabin was exceptionally cozy and pet friendly as well. "

"The hotel looks old. Bathtub has a broken faucet that is terribly hard to turn off. No fridge in the room. The room is clean and they kept windows open whenever they can so the air is fresh inside. Parking is hard to find especially during the weekend. "
