This was a last minute find for just one night and we were extremely pleased with this little cottage. It was a great location and we felt we were "in the woods". Everything was so easy and had we not already had reservations somewhere else we would have stayed another night! Highly recommend this as a couples retreat. :)

Loved the location tucked away in the woods, yet minutes from both Palmer and Wasilla. The cottage was super clean and well stocked with towels, blankets, etc. Hosts were easy to reach if needed and made check in and check out super easy. The only drawback was not having a freezer in the mini fridge and just a toaster oven and microwave for heating food.
