Big Lake Cabin 1 Hot Tub, Sauna & Watercraft Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"This is hands down the best vacation I’ve ever had. I’ve never been to Alaska before and this was the perfect place for my sons and I to stay. The hot tub was just steps away and always nice and hot. The beds were comfortable and it was very quiet. I will hopefully bring my daughters back one day. Thank you for everything, we made great memories at your cabin."

Long Lake Slice of Heaven. Beautiful lake front home with activities for all.

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect place to stay while we visited friends in Willow. Quiet, serene lake-front property. Property was stocked with everything we needed! All photos were as represented. Would stay again!"

FLY8MA Pilot Lodge

8/10 Good

"I think the property was friendly to pets. It had a lot of room in the front & back yard, along with a lot of space in the living room & kitchen. The bed is big, so your pet could definitely sleep with you on it or they could go into the guest bedroom too. There is a massage chair that was definitely relaxing & the place was clean"

Cozy lakefront cabin on Big Beaver Lake

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this cabin and would absolutely come back.The space was exactly what we were hoping for: cozy, quiet, and thoughtfully set up for a relaxing getaway. After days out exploring Alaska, it was such a treat to come back in the evenings, settle in, and just enjoy the calm atmosphere. The cabin struck a perfect balance between feeling tucked away and still being easy to access.Everything was clean, well-maintained, and clearly cared for. The layout worked great for us, and we especially appreciated how comfortable and welcoming the space felt right away. It never felt like a “rental,” more like a place you could actually unwind.The location was also ideal for us. It’s close enough to Wasilla and an hour and 15 minutes from the anchorage airport, but still peaceful and quiet. It made for a really relaxing pace to the trip.Overall, this was exactly the kind of place we were hoping to find, and it played a big part in making our vacation so enjoyable. Highly recommended!"

Epic DC-9 Airplane House: Sauna, Wing Deck & Cockpit

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very positive and fun experience! My three-year-old loved the plane and spent a lot of time in the cockpit and the cargo hold. He did fine with the plane parts, etc. Things to note with an infant (12 months old but not quite walking) - obviously the plan is not child-proofed for this age. There are tons of outlets, the cargo hold door being open while toddler playing in it, and stairs to enter the plane. So a super vigilant parent is needed for an eye at all times. The master is very spacious. The second bedroom has room for a pack and play so that's where baby slept. Little sound proofing, so sound machine (and black out tent) were needed. This was very fun, so I don't like noting the negatives. However, we did not receive the check-in information in a timely manner. I requested the pack and play twice in the week leading up to check-in, and did not hear back. Captain Jon was directly texted and check-in information was then provided. In addition, we were not given information that Google Maps takes you to the wrong location for the address listed in VRBO. At the wrong address, there is a posting with QR code to the correct location. Four stars for cleanliness - there were dirty towels in the washing machine, no new sponge provided or any dish towels (paper towels were available), high chair was dirty and needed cleaned before use. No bakeware, such as a 9x9 dish, available, for those planning meals at the rental. "
