Summary: I was there for a meeting in Anchorage. This was about an hour outside of Anchorage and it's absolutely worth it. The drive is beautiful, the cabin is exactly what I needed, and the owners are easy to talk to and give great advice. Chris is a great guy. The cabin is tiny but completely functional. There's so much to do within a short drive from the cabin... this is a great basecamp if you want to poke around the area. I'll be back again, and next time I'll bring my wife.
