Body wash, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion and a hair dryer are provided for your convenience. Hand and bath towels are provided.
The Cottage is equipped with a full size stacked washer and dryer along with laundry detergent and fabric softener for your use. An iron and ironing board are also available in the cottage.
The kitchen includes a full size refrigerator with filtered water and ice maker; an electric stove, convection oven and microwave as well as a dishwasher.
The counter height table area for 4 and outside seating with 4 chairs & table.
The Cottage’s small appliances include a coffee maker, toaster, tea pot, blender, electric hand mixer, waffle maker, rice cooker/steamer and a full complement of pots, pans and baking dishes.
You’ll have all the needed cooking utensils to cook a simple meal or a gourmet feast if you choose. The kitchen has a full assortment of everyday spices, condiments in the refrigerator and a variety of sweeteners for your included coffee and tea.

So you can enjoy the wonderful Alaskan outdoors while you’re our guest “The Cottage at Dry Creek” has a spacious covered 20ft by 8ft wide deck equipped with a gas BBQ grill and table & chairs. The hand-railed staircase and deck allows you watch the awe inspiring sunrises and sunsets. From September to March the deck is an excellent viewing area to watch and photograph the Northern Lights. If you feel a chill, you can still enjoy the view from the comfort of the living room looking through the patio door and large picture windows. Moose, lynx, red fox and rabbits can frequently be seen in the surrounding area.
The living room has a futon sofa sleeper, end tables with lamps and a 65” High Definition Television. You’ll be able to enjoy watching a variety of specialty television apps as well as satellite television with local Alaskan channels so you can always be informed of the changing weather. With windows throughout the living room, kitchen and dining areas, a large ceiling fan will provide that fresh, open air feeling.
For the winter vacationer, when entering the cottage, you’ll pass through an arctic vestibule where you can remove your coats, jackets and shoes. Upon entering you’ll find the cottage is well insulated and equipped with a Toyo heater as well as baseboard electric heaters in the bedrooms and bathroom, if you need a little extra warmth.
Outside outlets and extension cords are available for your vehicle in the event a “plug in” is required.
