Please DO NOT contact the front desk at the resort to rent this cabin or ask anything about it. It is privately owned & operated. Unfortunately, they will not be able to assist you.
It is a DRY cabin which means it does NOT have a BATHROOM or running water like all of the cabins on the resort property. However, it is completely renovated and looks and feels like a deluxe cabin with nice amenities. All other resort owned cabins are occupied by employees and are not available for rent.
Bathrooms are only a ONE minute walk from the cabin in the Pool House (7AM-12AM) $15 daily fee to use the showers and rock lake, Activity Center 9AM-12AM), Full Service Restaurant/Lounge (7AM-10PM). 3 outhouses are within a 30 second walk available 24 hours a day for that truly Alaskan experience.
FYI - We only rent the cabin for a 2 NIGHT MINIMUM.
So whether you want to book and stay only one night, we block the cabin for a 2 night stay. There is no discount for only staying one night. However, you won't have to check out by 11AM the next morning. It makes for a leisurely visit and you can stay a little later the next morning since the cabin has been reserved for the 2nd night.
Enjoy a truly once in a lifetime rustic Alaskan experience by staying in our adorable cabin on the resort property!
