One night stay
Stayed here before a cruise out of Seward. Met all of our needs and had a few minutes to walk down to the beautiful lake. I would recommend you stay here as it was very quiet and private. There are stairs so you may want to put your things in light bags instead of hauling your full suitcase up for a short stay. Cookies are a very nice touch. Thanks

This property is so beautiful, that we ended up having my daughter's senior photos done there, instead of traveling to a different location like we had planned. The hostess was very accommodating, and even provided us with a later check out.

Quaint little piece of heaven on Lake Gooding. Not only was the place a perfect little getaway, but it is close to many places and the host Rebecca is amazing! She was get communicating before and during. She was happy to answer all my questions since I was traveling from the east coast to Alaska for the first time. If I get up there again will def be booking there!! Loved it!

Great Overnight!
We only stayed for a night on the way to Valdez but the cabin was perfect. It was cute, clean, and had a gorgeous view! I would mention to get to this particular cabin you had to park up a bit and carry luggage down a number of steps. Not an issue for us but it could be for some. There is another cabin you park right in front of. But again, loved our stay.

Private Lake House with Views galore
The night at Story Hill Retreat was the best stay of our trip to Alaska. We felt very welcome, cozy, and Rebecca thought of everything we might need. We took a canoe for a trip out on the lake and even dove in for a swim. The guest house was very clean and tidy and we were able to watch some Netflix and do laundry. Rebecca gave us some recommendations for nearby attractions and the Musk Ox Farm was a hit! We just wish we had booked a second night :)

Wasilla Stay
The house is perfect for what we needed. It has a microwave, washer dryer, refrigerator, stove, A TV with Roku that you can connect to your streaming subscriptions. If you’re looking for a place outside of Anchorage, this was very nice. The property manager is extremely friendly and accommodating. I would stay here again definitely.

Secluded private well-equipped accommodations
We booked this property to break up a drive from Denali to Homer. I chose it also because it had its own washer and dryer, which allowed us to pack lighter and wash clothes part way through our trip. This little place was just perfect. Located in a private gated community on a hill overlooking a small lake. We only stayed one night so didn't make use of the kayaks and paddle boards that Rebecca had available. The place had all the amenities one could need (even a tiny oven/stove that we didn't use, but we did use the washer/dryer). The bathroom was roomy and cozy at the same time. Bedding and beds were exceptionally comfortable, with an array of different pillow types (including foam!), and the place had sturdy blackout blinds. Rebecca greeted us when we arrived to let us know she was right next door if we needed anything. Wonderful place. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area or just passing through.

Great stay!!
This property is amazing! Gorgeous views of the mountains and a spring fed lake. The owner let us use her kayaks, paddleboard, and canoe. We all had a great time out on the lake! We did several loads of laundry, which was nice to be able to do after our glacier tour. The house is a nice-sized garage apartment with full kitchen. Palmer is a lovely city with several nice restaurants and grocery stores. Rebecca is the best host ever! She even brought over cinnamon rolls for us to throw in the oven the next morning! And her dog, Jack, was a big hit with the kids! We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend staying at least 2 nights. There is so much to do here. You will absolutely love your stay here!
