Ask a questionAbout Scott P Mayo
My name is Vivan Mayo and my husband of 40 years is Scott P Mayo. Scott and I are long time Alaskans with many tales to tell. I am proud to call myself a lifetime Alaskan! I was born in Anchorage AK and moved to Cantwell AK in 1964. Scott came to Alaska from the midwest in 1970. He fell in love with the freedom of Alaska the moment he stepped off the plane. Scott and I married in 1975 and have raised 3 wonderful children here in Cantwell. Scott worked 30yrs for the State Hwy Department retiring in 2008. Thirty years of plowing snow was enough for him! Now let me tell you about the fun stuff...snowmobiling, icefishing, winter & summer camping, hunting, fly fishing, 4 wheeling, gold dredging...we do it all and more. Scott and I are getting a little older and wider but we try not to let that stop us. Surrounded by the natural beauty and bounty of the area is a blessing. We fill our freezer with moose meat and pick blueberries for canning each fall.
Scott P Mayo purchased this Studio in 1999
Why Scott P Mayo chose Cantwell
Scott and I have lived in a few different locations here in Cantwell. As a child I live in the old town of Cantwell in a small trailer house. After Scott and I married we lived in a small log cabin without electricity and indoor plumbing. We had a hand pump for water. After we had the kids Scott bought me a gasoline washing machine. I had to pump three 5 gallon buckets of water to fill that washer up! I was one strong chick! In 1985 we sold our small cabin and decided to build a bigger home for our growing family. Scott, with the help of some of our neighbors put the roof on the main cabin just before the snow flew in the winter of 1987. We have been modernize and making improvements for the last 20 years. We added our little Cantwell Cottage a few years ago as housing for our Grayjay Snowmobile clients. Eventhough Cantwell didn't have commercial power or TV until the mid 80's we have now caught up with the rest of the world. Modern technology is a wonderful thing but its easy to forget to "log on" when your surrounded by Alaska's beauty. We hope you enjoy the area as much as we do.
What makes this Studio unique
We live a simple life here. Coffee in the morning sitting on the porch swing listening to the birds and swatting a mosquito or two 😉. With mountains views, wildlife and abundance Alaska has to offer we have almost everything we need right outside our door. Literally right outside our door...we have had moose (Matilda), caribou (eating our lawn), fox and a couple of young bears come through over the years. Scott and I hope you relax and enjoy your stay in our neck of the woods. And don't forget...30 minutes away you have access to great restaurants, drinking establishments, gift shops, coffee shops, icecream shop and all the outdoor activities /sightseeing Denali National Park has to offer.
