About this property

Willow Forest Cabin with Sauna, Pet and Family Friendly

Experience Alaska year-round! Enjoy snowmachining and ice fishing in winter, or head to Hatcher Pass in summer for stunning views and gold panning. This cozy forest home is a perfect basecamp—just 30 minutes from Wasilla’s dining and shopping, and great for day trips to Denali. The home is heated with a reliable system built for Alaska’s winters. Just a heads-up: Being a bit off the grid, short power outages can happen (usually 1–3 hours). I respond quickly if there’s ever a longer one. The house is equipped with safety lighting and winter-ready features. WiFi is available but speeds may be limited.

About the host

Hosted by JD Berry

Host profile image
Hi, I’m JD — a local Alaskan host with a practical streak and a big heart for families looking to explore the real Alaska. I’ve lived and worked all over the state and know firsthand how important it is to have a comfortable, dependable place to come home to — especially when traveling with kids or extended family.

I own a small contracting and mechanical business, so I personally maintain all of my homes and know every inch of them. If anything comes up during your stay, I’m never far and always quick to respond. My goal is to make sure you feel taken care of so you can focus on what matters most — spending time with your loved ones.

My Lady, Daphne, is a Native Alaskan from the Bethel region, and we both put a lot of care into creating spaces that reflect the warmth and hospitality of rural Alaska. Our homes are clean, practical, and surrounded by nature — not fancy hotels, but real places with real heart, made for families who want to make memories.

Why they chose this property

I like this unit especially for its layout. Large vaulted space in the living room and all the wood. Its an amazing set up. The kitchen is really open and inviting. It's very close to the Amazing Hatchers pass and the start of the Iditarod is literally minutes away on foot. It's also close to the highway making it easy to get to on maintained roads. The lakes give access to ice fishing and endless snow machining. Summer they provide all the boating, kayaking, etc. you could ever want. Wildlife is always around to view and be careful of.

What makes this property unique

All my properties are Green operated. I operate and distribute my own heating fuel made by me in my Bioplant. It produces 100gal a day and really helps reduce waste and I will continue introducing new processes soon to further that agenda.
