Our stay couldn’t have been better! The hosts were so delightful and helpful, with decades of Alaska experience and lots of insight about the area. We arrived to home-baked chocolate chip cookies and fresh eggs from their onsite coop. They were wonderful hosts and we highly recommend this place! The view is stunning. Truly one of the most amazing places to stay and see the ever changing landscape. We saw a moose cow and nursing calf right from our breakfast table, incredible views of the shifting weather and clouds rolling through the valley, and the most amazing rainbow we’d ever see. The house is squeaky clean and beautifully maintained. The location is a great jumping off point to hike Hatchers Pass, drive up to Talkeetna and catch the train, or drive all the way to Denali. We absolutely recommend staying here if you have the chance!

Wow!! We LOVED this property! The view was amazing and the thought that went into every detail of the property was apparent from the finishings to the amenities! We especially loved the host sharing fresh farm eggs, homemade jam, berries, fresh baked cookies and even a hand made dish cloth. The monocular was an added bonus as we spotted an eagle minutes after arrival! Having a Blackstone to cook on was also a huge plus. We highly recommend this property! Thank you Marlun for being a great host!

This place was an absolute gem! It was spotless from top to bottom, and it was clear the hosts thought of every little detail — down to leaving binoculars and a spotting scope for taking in the beautiful, unobstructed mountain views. Check-in was seamless and stress-free, which made settling in even more enjoyable. The homemade cookies and raspberry jam waiting for us were such a thoughtful touch — and absolutely delicious! They also have fresh eggs waiting in the refrigerator. You can tell this host genuinely cares about creating a memorable stay. We'd return in a heartbeat and recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-cared-for getaway. They are also continuing to add more special details for a persons stay. Currently a path down to a pond is being built. We can't wait to walk down it's path when we return sometime in the future! The hosts were super friendly and wanted to make sure our stay was an amazing one!

Beautiful views, thoughtful touches throughout the place including the fresh eggs and homemade jam/cookies, and a fairly convenient location to the surrounding area while still providing quick access to Alaska wilderness. Only improvements I'd suggest are improved window covers as the cover for the window on the front door is fairly flimsy and I had cover it myself and the gaps in the main window blinds still let's in a fair amount of light so bring an eye mask until that's sorted out. It can also be a bit tough navigating the parking, the stones used to mark where you stop at could damage lower height cars but aren't tall enough to see easily so some care when navigating the space is needed. Overall those are nitpicking items and the experience of staying here was well worth the value. Would absolutely return in the future.

The views are AMAZING! The effort and care really show in every little detail in this rental. Marlun is a great host and quick to offer tips and pointers. It isn't as private as you would expect by the pictures; this rental is attached to the main house and you're looking right into the neighbors backyard just beyond the garden, but I would still highly recommend this spot. Thank you for being the hostess with the mostest!
