Cabin and stunning views

this was an amazing place to stay facing the turnagain arm. Was a great place to rest after a day of adventuring and exploring. There’s even a bar and restaurant downstairs to get food as well.

It’s a good overnight stay. The location is great, small bedroom but enough if you are only staying for one night or two. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We I’ll stay here again.

8/10 Very good

Minimalist room in an old rustic building that provided a clean comfortable place to stay for one night. Very quiet even with the saloon below. We had a delicious hamburger in the saloon. Laid back and friendly staff! Very good choice if you don’t need a tv and are looking for a reasonably priced place to sleep out of high priced Anchorage and Girdwood. We would stay there again!
Betty, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very nice owner and restaurant staff, sadly it smelled really bad and the cabin is not in a good condition
Franziska, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great property! Just opened for nightly rentals. Very nice authentic Alaska cabin feel. Has a stove and refrigerator so you can bring food with you. The Brown Bear Saloon is on-site and has some good food choices - especially liked the sweet potato fries. There are some breakfast options nearby as well. Beds were comfy and it was very quiet and clean. We really enjoyed our stay!

Kaleb, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room okay, but strange banging noises

The room was certainly acceptable, although it was a bit small, but it was clean. It also had a shower with a door instead of a curtain, which is always more pleasant. What was strange was that I heard an irregular banging noise all night long (room 1). At first, I thought it was coming from the saloon, but it had been closed for a long time. Maybe something in the pipes? As a result, I hardly slept.

Grand view

It was wonderful. I will return again.
Eric, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rental itself is kind of like staying at a friend’s- the bed was comfortable and neat, there were some little quirks to the space, but felt completely safe and love off-the-beaten-path places like this. The owner and the bartender were AMAZING and so friendly downstairs, the hamburger tasted fresh off a backyard grill delicious, and oh my gosh you are RIGHT on Seward Highway.
Kelly, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent value.

We had a nice little cabin all to ourselves. The lady at the Saloon, who seemed to often be running the place all by herself (waiting tables, cooking, taking care of payment, etc. always took time to take care of our concerns (get us supplies such as toilet paper, etc.). We were well taken care of, and it was a nice, quiet place. The food offered in the Saloon was good also. Add to this the fact that this was one of the least expensive options and it was a very good deal.

Nice place to stay!
Jennifer, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The area was peaceful and had beautiful views. The room had all the necessities - bed was ok, shower had hot water. The only complaint is that the other guests were so loud that we didn’t get much sleep. Their talking in other rooms and hallway, opening and closing doors, etc went right through the thin door and walls. If it wasn’t for this, I would stay again.
Jessica, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This place is very basic. There wasn't a TV, and the smoke detector looked like it had been ripped out of the ceiling.
