**House rules:**

- Observe safe viewing distances from all wildlife. Do not approach or disturb wildlife. When on foot: Grizzly and black bears: Stay 300 yards or more away. Other wildlife (e.g., Dall sheep, moose, wolves, foxes, caribou, raptor nests): Stay 25 or more yards away.
- Even seemingly 'harmless' animals like moose or sheep can grow extremely aggressive if they feel like you are too close. More than one person has been kicked by a 1,200+ pound moose because they failed to keep their distance from it.
- Never feed wildlife. Animals that get food from humans become dangerous -- even small creatures like squirrels can become bold and bite children or adults in the pursuit of food, once they've been food conditioned.
- Please be respectful of noise levels after 10 pm.
- Absolutely no smoking!
- We acknowledge the Alaska Native nations upon whose ancestral lands our cabins reside. In Nenana, our Coop Cabin is located on the ancestral lands of the Tanana Athabascan people.

> Great outhouse but no light or window to let in sunlight. We left a little battery powered lamp behind for any future guests to use. The spot was mostly quiet except for being able to hear the owner talking on the phone inside his house after 10 pm. There was zero shade so make sure you have something to sit under in case the weather is hot & sunny. The firepit was great and the chairs awesome to lounge in. The view was mediocre but a very short distance from Nenana and about an hour from Denali. Overall great place to camp.

> We have stayed in quite a few hipcamps/ rustic lodgings and The Coop Cabin was by far the best! The heated composting toilet and heated outdoor shower were awesome! Hannah was super helpful and quickly responded any time we needed anything and gave us some great Fairbanks recommendations! We enjoyed multiple sunsets on the deck and even had a fire one night! We could also see Denali from the deck one morning!
