Cabin and stunning views

this was an amazing place to stay facing the turnagain arm. Was a great place to rest after a day of adventuring and exploring. There’s even a bar and restaurant downstairs to get food as well.

Loved the simpleness of the saloon with bedrooms availble above. Great easy location. Great staff. Good nights sleep.
Greg, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice little cabin in a less populated area outside of Anchorage. Very rustic little cabin that checks off the bare necessities. Provides what I would see as a very Alaskan experience. I would definitely stay there again.

It’s a good overnight stay. The location is great, small bedroom but enough if you are only staying for one night or two. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We I’ll stay here again.

8/10 Very good

This little biker bar was just as advertised- no frills and efficient. A small room, it was all we needed as we toured around to Whittier, Girdwood and up into Anchorage for a few days. A classic and friendly roadhouse tavern below offered good eats and drinks in an unassuming setting. It won’t be for everyone, but if you know what to expect, it’s a good place for the price.

Nice place to stay!
Jennifer, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Minimalist room in an old rustic building that provided a clean comfortable place to stay for one night. Very quiet even with the saloon below. We had a delicious hamburger in the saloon. Laid back and friendly staff! Very good choice if you don’t need a tv and are looking for a reasonably priced place to sleep out of high priced Anchorage and Girdwood. We would stay there again!
