Our stay was excellent. Joy and Tom were fantastic. They welcomed us and treated us as family. Joy reached out to me before our scheduled stay to keep me up to date and what to expect. She texed me when the cabin was ready and how to access the cabin and were to park. After we arrived and got settled in was out on the porch when Joy and Tom stopped by and introduced themselves. They let us know about the property and how to access the river. Tom and his dad even came down to check on us when we went fishing. Offered some great advice and helpful pointers. The cabin and property were clean and had some beautiful views. Anything we needed they were there to help. They have large freezers to store our fish we caught and helped with fish boxes to get them home. We had a great time there that we already booked for next year. Thank you Joy amd Tom for helping make our trip to Alaska great.

Joy and her cabins were absolutely fantastic! She brings the perfect mix of professionalism and comfortable home vibes. We were one of two guests at the time so it was the nice quiet getaway we were looking for. The cabins are close together and would be perfect to book a few if you have a larger group traveling together. It was September so was getting cold but the heater and on demand hot water made for a very comfortable stay. The kitchen is small but mighty, it had everything we needed to cook simple meals and a full fridge to store what we needed. Fishing access is right next to the cabins and there is a grocery store just a few minutes away which is very convenient. Be prepared to drive a bit for anything else, but the scenery makes the drive worthwhile. If you're looking for a rustic cabin without compromising the comforts of home this is the perfect place to go!
