Cozy cabin for two.

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.

Fantastic Stay

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.)

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.

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!

Solace in the city

The cabin is very clean and cozy. The neighborhood is quiet. I loved being able to get out of the city so quickly! The views along the roads outgoing are breathtaking! I appreciated the privacy despite the cabin being so close to the main home. Matt was an excellent host!
