Felt like home
After six weeks away from our home in Georgia traveling in a very small RV, we were delighted to find this “home away from home” which allowed us to rest and recharge before continuing our trip. This cabin was perfect. We couldn’t take our eyes off the beautiful mountain framed by the large front window. We had everything we needed for a relaxing, quiet stay. Teri even provided wonderful snacks and Keurig pods. We will always remember our time here. Teri and Paula have created an oasis for rest and relaxation. We made all our meals in the well appointed kitchen and slept late in the peaceful surroundings; room darkening shades might have helped too! Enjoyed seeing Bodenburg Butte out the other front window; oh and there’s a nice selection of Alaska books to enjoy. Great hosts, great house!!

Amazing views from every window in the house! The home was very cozy, clean and had all the amenities we needed. We really loved the creek side location and Alaskan experience. We are already planning our next visit! Thank you, Teri
