What an amazing place. We will definitely be back for summer and winter adventures. The property is private and cozy. The cottages are well thought and high quality. I would recommend these places to anyone traveling to Anchorage/ Palmer area!
The staff has been very helpful and patient. They helped me through the booking when I had problem booking with Expedia. We arrived late as we were driving down from Talkeetna after a long day hike, and the staff has been very accommodating and helpful. I booked two rooms with two double beds each, the rooms are spacious, bathroom looks new, and is big and clean. I will come again.
The lady is very friendly and makes amazing breakfast. Good comfortable bed and very clean washroom. Homely vibes and the best part is the outside lake front. I would recommend this over any hotel in this area.
I am a lazy person so I don’t write review usually but for this stay, I must say it is beyond my expectations a lot! The space is clean, big, beautiful! Besides the host is very considerate and made amazing breakfast for us! Having breakfast with the breathtaking view is so memorable moment for us!
Listen - if this comes up on your search as available for your dates, BOOK IT! I can’t identify a single thing wrong with this place. Everything you could possibly need, unbelievably clean, incredible communication, so quiet, and beautiful. This is the third place we’ve stayed as we traveled around Alaska and I’m telling you, I wish we had booked here for our entire trip. Love, love, love. Seriously - book it. You will NOT be disappointed. We all would love to live here.
Beautiful room facing the lake, clean, comfortable, the bed was one of the best I've ever slept on, the pillows another 5 star. However the check in was a little frustrating... Marked but not well.
...because this hotel is not too far out of Anchorage, but just the right amount closer to some of the nature attractions nearby. The best part is, the hotel offers everything you need, and more!
The outside of the building, "front desk", and the barnyard-style outside stairs mislead us to believe this hotel was not the right choice. Were we wrong!
The room is huge and comes with not one, not two, but three large closets. The bed was nice and big, and so were the pillows. There was even a...
Staff was very warm and welcoming! Room was clean. Beds were fairly comfortable, just a bit firmer than I am used to. Beautiful view of the mountains from our room. Loved the Alaskan made gifts in the gift shop, and very reasonably priced.
