I am a picky traveler, having worked in Europe and traveled everywhere, lived in NYC and in Alaska off and on for 20 years, so when I say this place is a jewel it's the truth, Now it is not a 4 star lodge nor is it a touristy cabin replete with bear adornment but is authentically Alaskan, with a restrained taste. It is in the perfect locale if you want to hike or fish or kayak or sail or sightsee or just build a fire. It has a full kitchen so you can cook your gourmet dinners with wine in the midnight sun. If you have a well behaved pet the owner will consider having your four legged friend stay, There are neighbors, which is akin to a hotel room but these neighbors are not that close, and are polite, not too friendly , just right. If you are not an Alaskan you may enjoy knowing there are people there that if you need something they know what to do. It reminded me of the places I stayed in Europe; tasteful, simple, quiet and friendly in the most gorgeous settings, It is a place for people who do not want generic hotel rooms, and want a fireplace inside and fire pit with grill outside, and a yard, and a view of mountains and lakes with fish and freedom to come and go without staff in your room all the time. It was simply my kind of place, and I think it's perfect for a family or couple or adventure seekers or anyone who wants something different that is nice and clean.
