Michael and Victoria love what they do, and it shows. The cabin was clean and comfortable, fishing was productive and fun (and the dog showed us where the fish were!) and the gourmet meals were incredible! If we are back in the area, we'll be back for sure!

This is an incredible lodge at the largest national park in the US. It is beautiful and handcrafted with love for it and the space it occupies. The owners are gracious kind and welcoming. They gave us tips to enjoy the park that we would not have had otherwise. We chose their meal service rather than cooking in the cabin ourselves. What a good choice! Breakfast, dinner, and a box lunch to take on the trail were provided. Delicious healthy local ingredients. We were in Alaska 3 weeks, this was clearly the best place we stayed at. Thank you Michael and Victoria.

Wonderful wilderness adventure. I’m a single female who traveled solo. Felt completely safe. 1.25 mile easy hiking trail to an amazing lake. Spotted a bald eagle’s net and was able to watch the eaglets get fed. I loved the cozy cabin with a snuggly soft bed. I would definitely recommend.
