Serena was a super host! The campsite was as advertised, but when we got there we noticed that the Meadows site better fit our needs than the Sweet Spot and was unoccupied at the time. Serena was quick to our request to change sites and generous in accommodating our request. She also helped us with an unexpected supply shortage and saved us a long trip to the closest store. The site itself is lovely, very quiet and right next to shore so it gave us a beautiful sunrise view of Mt. Redoubt. With Serena's assistance we had a great and memorable stay!

Our visit was perfect! We had wonderful views of the inlet and volcanos. The magical trails held words of wisdom and mossy mushrooms. The wood stove and comfy bed made for a cozy restful night. We were even treated to a midnight visit from two local moose heading to bed down for the night. We will be back if we get the chance!!
