Unfortunately, I have to give a 3-star rating due to the issue we had with the boiler. We came back one evening and the boiler was malfunctioning. Because it was late, I did not contact the owner but instead the 24-hour support at Vacasa. They were not helpful and after 3 hours on and off the phone with them, I figured out my own solution and went to bed at midnight. When I contacted the owner the next day, she was very responsive and very helpful getting to a workable solution. Unfortunate that she has to use Vacasa to manage the rental.Otherwise, the cabin was great. In a quiet neighborhood and outside of the lights of the town. The guidebook from the owner had great recommendations for hikes and places to eat.

Quiet beauty
Our family stayed here three nights and we loved the cabin. It was clean, spacious, and so quiet. We saw a grizzly bear one evening just up the road and a moose near the river one morning. We would definitely recommend this cabin while in Anchorage!

Loved this Log Cabin!
We loved just about everything about this picturesque home. Well equipt kitchen with spices, a wok and rice cooker/insta pot! So close to great hikes at the Nature Center. Not too far from town; loved the quiet and beautiful views. The host had several brochures and magazines to help us plan our days. The carpet definitely needs replacing, but I understand why they wouldn't since they allow pets. We'll be back! has

Beautiful place to stay while visiting Anchorage! My two college kids and I stayed for the week of Thanksgiving. I baked a turkey! Instacart delivers too! Great internet and everything was very comfy and cozy. Owner was very sweet and called to check on us after a freezing weather front came through. My kids and I didn’t want to leave and look forward to visiting again
