Hatcher Pass Cabins

Despite online descriptions we weren't sure what to expect upon arrival, but were very happy with the accommodation. In case you're wondering, this is a bonafide log cabin. It's not so far out to be considered remote, but has a "far away" feel. It was well-appointed and comfy, with just what we needed for a couple of nights' stay. The small wall furnace provided enough heat. Independence Mine and Hatcher Pass were a few miles west, Palmer was a few miles east/southeast, and Wasilla was pretty easy to reach to the south. Area roads were paved (I was concerned we'd have to drive off-road in our rental vehicle.)

Our only issues were with a couple of kitchen appliances. The refrigerator was set to a high temperature (presumably to reduce energy costs). Although we set it to the coldest temperature upon arrival, the unit struggled to refrigerate our leftovers the first night. Consequently we discarded what would have been breakfast our first morning out of a concern for safety. Also, the toaster was a bit crotchety, but we managed to heat a couple of bagels in it the second morning. Television reception was OK, but channel options were pretty limited. (But who goes to Alaska to watch TV?!) We only turned the set on to check local news and weather.

Clean, accommodating, nicely decorated.

The only little complaint we had is that there was a very busy dirt bike trail right across the road. That is not the owners issue.

great location, great cabin. great hosts. Had some mobile phone issues and couldn't access lock code but was quickly solved when I got a hold of the hosts.

The cottage was cozy, plenty of space, beds were super comfy, staff was always around when needed, grill was clean and best of all, the cottage was stocked with all the little things you could possibly need for cooking. Great place!

Toilet was a little wobbly but outside of that everything was perfect for our stay!

Very clean, quiet, and friendly. Loved that it was close to the convenience store!

It was a bit far from the main town but other than that everything was great!

We loved everything about this cabin! The cabin is so nice and cozy and was perfect for our family as we visited the beautiful Hatcher Pass and Palmer area.

There is nothing that we would change!

This cute little cabin was perfect for our stay. It was cozy, clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay here again.

The bed was not super comfortable but we got the rest we needed.

It really gave us the cabin feel we were looking for. It was really a relaxing environment. A nice distance away from Palmer.

It was a very comfortable, clean cabin. The location was excellent, close to many great activities.

It rained for twop straight days, but that is no fault of the cabib.

I really hate to say it but I loved this cabin. I was hoping that I could contain it within me so that every time I go down there I could rent the same cabin. I figure that since they are doing a fantastic job I suppose I can give them a fantastic review!

NO FREE SNOWMACHINES! Maybe my expectations are too high! Actually, I never did ask....
