Breathtaking Barbara Falls is in our valley 10mins away. You hike up to the falls and feels its breath. Our Mountain views at 2000' elevation in the alpine forest with the 7000' snow covered peaks at the back of the valley will awe you. Morning coffee on your private deck alone is worth the trip. We know you will love our little mountain get away. I came to Alaska in the 90's with the Coast Guard. It was always my dream to come back. Alaska has a hold on you no other place possesses.

1 night at Mooseberry Cabins

Loved our stay at the cabin. Beautiful view as well. Margit was very friendly and accommodating. The only recommendation I have is to put up some curtains. Will stay again if in the area!

Weekend Trip to Camp DeVo

Such a gem of a property!! Very thoughtful accommodations, clean, quiet and private. There's plenty of space to spread out, and the river was so clear and peaceful. Kiddos had a blast exploring the trails, river, and picking wild berries. The fire pit cranks!! Nice and toasty and the pavilion is such a charming and well apprecited addition. We definitely recommend and hope to return soon! Kris was very responsive and helpful. Lovely host!! I hope future renters are respectful to the property and leave it nice and clean so others can continue to enjoy!

Jeff and his family are so friendly; we had a wonderful time. The tent sites down by the creek are so tranquil and beautiful; it was everything we were looking for.

Lovely little place run by a very kind family. The host is very receptive and quick with communication. They even brought us warm chocolate chip cookies after we checked in!

2 nights at Darell B.’s Magical Mountain

It was a nice place. Very quiet and relaxing. The view from the deck was perfect. The only thing I’d recommend is maybe adding a sign or something similar at the end of the driveway so it stands out a bit. It took me a few minutes to find it.

4 nights at Clean Forest type camping

Was beautiful and clean and had a lot of fun! Would definitely come back! But if you are looking for something with WiFi they never provided that information, even after messaging the host directly.

2 nights at BRIDGE CABIN at Bear Creek Lodge

We loved the cozy cabin, the wood fired cook stove, the beautiful river right next to it, and all of the very helpful kind staff, would stay there again and again if we could! Sauna was an especially nice feature after rafting six mile river. No running water or working stove other than wood fired one, be ready to go back in time a bit, but everything you need is just over the bridge at the main cafe building
