10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay here for our first trip to Alaska! Chris met us there when we arrived late into the evening due to flight issues. The place was very accommodating and beautiful with a beautiful view! We saw moose and calves every night. One evening a bear came to visit while we were in the hot tub. It was centrally located so that we could fish and site see in many spots. We drove about 3 1/2 hrs to Denali. We flew into Anchorage and was just a 45 min drive away. Highly recommend them and we will be back! Thank you!"
