The screen in the window was broken. Paper towels were shoved around the screen to hold it in place. The window was open and Flies were in the room, shower door stuck shut and I to really pull hard to open it. There was no air conditioning or fans. We didnt even stay the night.

This place is very basic. There wasn't a TV, and the smoke detector looked like it had been ripped out of the ceiling.

The rental itself is kind of like staying at a friend’s- the bed was comfortable and neat, there were some little quirks to the space, but felt completely safe and love off-the-beaten-path places like this. The owner and the bartender were AMAZING and so friendly downstairs, the hamburger tasted fresh off a backyard grill delicious, and oh my gosh you are RIGHT on Seward Highway.

It’s a good overnight stay. The location is great, small bedroom but enough if you are only staying for one night or two. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We I’ll stay here again.

Great property! Just opened for nightly rentals. Very nice authentic Alaska cabin feel. Has a stove and refrigerator so you can bring food with you. The Brown Bear Saloon is on-site and has some good food choices - especially liked the sweet potato fries. There are some breakfast options nearby as well. Beds were comfy and it was very quiet and clean. We really enjoyed our stay!

This is a crazy little place -- bar downstairs, small rooms upstairs, complete with a full bath, microwave and fridge. It was a great experience. Not your typical place to stay in, but I'm glad I did!

We stayed here on our first night in Alaska so that we could get a little ways out of Anchorage and prepare our stuff for the remaining trip. Unfortunately the rooms are above the saloon which was exactly what is advertised but I did not realize how inconvenient that would be. I was uncomfortable walking up and down the staircase with the gear. If we had stayed later in the trip my experience would have been different. The burgers and beer were wonderful and worth the visit. The room is small but clean and had a good hot shower. The location is perfect and very convenient for a stay just outside of Anchorage.
