Jenny did an excellent job communicating during a difficult situation. The power went out because of a wind storm, and we had to find a different place to stay because it was too cold to tough it out at this motel.

We absolutely loved this cabin! Haley was an amazing and responsive host and the cabin came well stocked with basic items and it was a very nice temperature even in the cold with a wind storm. The view of the frozen lake and mountains is also a perk! Definitely rebooking in the future.

Popular places to visit

This is one of my favorite places to take kids, family, and friends when they come for a visit. It is a truly "Alaska" experience to be able to wander among and feed the Reindeer here. And the scenery on the way can't be beat! Landscape wise, Pioneer Peak is the star of the show on this trip along the Old Glenn Highway & Bodenburg Loop Road.
