About the host

Hosted by Robin Rice

When my brother took a fishing trip to Alaska when I was 13 and came back with pictures, I always wanted to live here in a log home. Now, I have a log home and a log cabin. My husband and 5 children love to explore the woods, play in the lake, and raft down wild Alaskan rivers.
