This amazing, whimsical property was selected from 100’s for our first night stay in Alaska within a reasonable drive from Anchorage. Photos told us the ascending steps at Stormy Hill Retreat would be difficult for our knees But we could see the experience of awakening to the wide open Alaska view would be worth it. And, it was. Utterly breathtaking.Rebecca allowed us to have Amazon ship provisions and a cooler to her street address! This meant we did not need to stop at WalMart when our flight landed. Everything we needed came from Amazon and was waiting at carport. Rebecca accepted our invite to come upstairs to visit before our departure. Delightful visit and extremely helpful travel counsel .
