Very nice place to stay between Eureka and Glennallen! Beautiful property, wonderful hosts. Follow the directions they send and you'll find the place with ease.
The property was more than expected. It appeared to be a fairly new structure, with ample furnishings ...couches, chairs, full kitchen (full stove, full fridge, and necessary utensils) 2 beds, a queen and king. The bed was comfortable. The place was clean as new. There was a fantastic view out the front window, across the lake to the mountains.. We were offered the use of a canoe on the lake but it was too cold for us.To find the place, follow Roxanne's direction carefully...watch for the 143 mile post.

Thank you for the wonderful review! Hope to see you again in the future!
Beautiful property and gorgeous place. Was absolutely wonderful wished we would have been able to be there longer it was so nice. Would highly recommend this place.
The cabin was just as described. Comfortable, quiet, amazing views, clean, with all the amenities for us to enjoy our overnight stop and do a little laundry. Roxanne met us outside at check-in and as we were leaving. So friendly with helpful information for our continued road trip to Anchorage. So glad we chose to stay here!
The Farmers were great hosts, went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. Enjoyed the view and the company!Would definitely recommend to anyone.

This was the most amazing place to stay! The house was luxurious and beautiful! The beds were very comfortable and our host made sure we had everything we needed. We also went for a paddle on the lake! My only regret is not being able to stay longer! I cannot recommend it enough!
