    We really enjoyed seeing a young moose traipse across the yard the first morning we were there. The cottage is the coziest tiny home we've ever had the pleasure of staying at. Thanks!

    The neighbor's dog came to say hello. We went back inside and when he left we walked in the other direction. 😁

    2nd night in this beautiful cottage during our visit to Alaska. It felt like coming home and we didn't want to leave anymore. Janice truly understands the soul of the traveler who enjoys the comforts of home.

    You know how every time you book a room online you always wonder if the picture is an accurate representation and there’s the niggling fear that you’ll end up stuck somewhere gross and sketchy for the night? Have no fears with this place! It’s exactly as cute and cozy as advertised. It’s perfect for a solo traveler or a couple looking for a romantic retreat.

    We were just sad that we only stayed one night! We wish we would’ve stayed longer, so we’ll be back.

    This cottage was beautiful. All of the little touches were so sweet and made us feel right at home. The location was excellent and the host was super communicative.

    Our favorite place we stayed in Alaska! It’s such a cute and thoughtful place to stay, just outside of the small town of Talkeetna. There’s small touches, like robes, a gas fireplace, Netflix, artwork and coffee and mini fridge that make you feel really welcome and comfortable. We had a relaxing stay and will definitely go back if we’re in the area again. Close to a brewery. There’s also a lake just down from the cottage. The owners are lovely, helpful and welcoming people.

    Location was quiet, comfortable and pleasant. Nice little retreat at the end of our busy trip. Clean, great decor, thoughtful additives for guests. Also appreciated the bug swatter as mosquitos were definitely in this area, obviously that can't be controlled but again another thoughtful item for guest's use. Thank you.

    This is a beautiful cottage with many personal touches. It is located in an idyllic setting with Sunshine lake just down the drive. Everything is clean, beautifully decorated, and inviting. The bed was very comfortable and we had the best night’s sleep here of our trip. The host was welcoming and gave great suggestions for activities and restaurants. Take note that the cottage is about 15 minutes from the town of Talkeetna.
