The cottage is spacious and convenient with a kitchen stocked with milk, eggs, oatmeal, trail bars, enough for a good breakfast. It’s very quiet and peaceful, just a little remote, but not too bad.

Cute, well put together cabin. Easy access and parking next to cabin. Beautiful scenery. The only thing I would add is a short stick with a hook to lower bshades over the bed.

Here's an edited version of your review:
This Alaskan cottage is the ideal stop on the way to Denali. The space is immaculate and tastefully decorated, creating a cozy, cabin-in-the-woods atmosphere. Matti was quick to respond to my messages, and the breakfast items provided were a thoughtful touch. With plenty of room for our family of five, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The spruce cottage was spacious, clean and had good amenities. Washer, dryer, laundry detergent, pans and dishes, a few snacks, and even milk and eggs in the fridge. I will definitely be staying here again the next time I am in the area.

Charming and new. Comforts like milk in the refrigerator and dry cereal and granola bars were handy. Netflix in the tv was nice and beds were super comfortable. Great hosts too kept me informed and made check in easy.

A very nice, comfortable unit with two separate sleeping areas. Beautiful view in the surrounding with snow capped mountains. The hostess Linda is very responsive to inquires and accomodations with early checks in. Great value compare to other places we stayed on our Alaska trip. Will come back again if we are in the area.

Such a beautiful place to stay. Great location to reach the nearby reindeer farm. Some breakfast food was provided and a washer and dryer were in the cabin. Highly recommended!
