The best cabin to stay. Beautifully located in the valley surrounded by gorgeous mountains, gated community, rooms had breathtaking views, cottages equipped with very modern amenities, breakfast items were available, super clean. Linda and Ron the owners, were super friendly and welcoming. The property also has the wilderness tour office and outbound Heli rides to glacier which are available at discounted price for ABCC guests.

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.

This property was absolutely gorgeous all around, the mountains are everywhere you look. The hostess was super sweet! The cottage was super clean and perfect for 6 of us. The outside can make up for the dining space you might not have because of the awesome porch (if you do have 6 like we did) but there is a bar that works great for dining. Beds were super comfy and lots of pillows!!

It was just the cutest little place! Beautiful mountain views & the cabin is like brand new!! So nice it has a washer & dryer in the unit too! Only downsides were the wifi never worked on our phones and we had no service -unless you were upstairs or outside. And outside there was a beehive outside the door so the kids couldn’t be out there making noise. But those things definitely won’t stop us form going back! We loved it there! An available pack n play would’ve been a nice option too though :)

We're glad you left this review, and that you'll return to Alaska Backcountry cottages! Thank you for sharing your concerns! We know about the WiFi difficulties and we're working on the repair... we had no idea that the metal roofs could cause such problems! And bees are definitely not a part of Alaska's wildlife that can be enjoyed, that's also fixed!

What an amazing location and cabin to explore Alaska from! The cabin was perfect for our little family. Incredibly clean, comfortable all with gorgeous views of the mountains. So close to the cities of Eagle River and Wasilla yet you feel like your in the wilderness. The security is greatly appreciated. We will look forward to returning and sending friends and family in the future!
