Great property! Just opened for nightly rentals. Very nice authentic Alaska cabin feel. Has a stove and refrigerator so you can bring food with you. The Brown Bear Saloon is on-site and has some good food choices - especially liked the sweet potato fries. There are some breakfast options nearby as well. Beds were comfy and it was very quiet and clean. We really enjoyed our stay!
This place is very convenient to find and is very clean simple yes they don’t have TV in the room but you have such beautiful views TV you can go home to enjoy when you come all the way here then you should enjoy the view

This is a crazy little place -- bar downstairs, small rooms upstairs, complete with a full bath, microwave and fridge. It was a great experience. Not your typical place to stay in, but I'm glad I did!
We stayed here on our first night in Alaska so that we could get a little ways out of Anchorage and prepare our stuff for the remaining trip. Unfortunately the rooms are above the saloon which was exactly what is advertised but I did not realize how inconvenient that would be. I was uncomfortable walking up and down the staircase with the gear. If we had stayed later in the trip my experience would have been different. The burgers and beer were wonderful and worth the visit. The room is small but clean and had a good hot shower. The location is perfect and very convenient for a stay just outside of Anchorage.
Thank you so much, was great to get of the city, apologizes did not bring back the Bear spray, so helpful... A Piece of Paradise..
Gratitudes to the staff an locals..

Not much to look at and the room was small but, it was clean and the bed was comfortable. The room was on the second floor above the bar, surprisingly it was not noisy at all. The bar is a unique place with a lot of bar charm. We ate chicken wings and they were good. The one staff person we saw took care of everything. She was the registration desk, barmaid and waitress. She was friendly and provided excellent service. There was a nice walking path nearby. Definitely no frills but for a one night stay it was fine.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean and adequate for the night. It reminded me of a private room in a Hostel. You can't control the room temperature.
When your picture is of a cabin and you show up to check in to find out it is not a cabin but your booking states you stay or forfeit your money you stay in the tiny room above the Biker Bar with the unsafe railings, rickety stairs, uneven floor and wires from the non existent smoke alarm dangling from the ceiling. Don’t remember what amenities were listed, but no tv, no wifi, seemingly nothing included. Would have driven the half hour to Girdwood had there been any inkling what was being provided was not what was pictured. While I may have spent as much as nine hours there, virtually no sleep was gotten.

I guess for what it is, it's ok, but the walls are paper thin ... the man next door sneezed and i said God bless you and he said thank you! It says there's internet, but not really. I could never get connected. We just stayed one night so IDK about the surrounding area. It would be a good port in a storm, but otherwise I would pass on this in the future
I had an absolutely wonderful stay here and the employees were some of the most welcoming and friendly people I have ever met! The room was nice and clean with a beautiful view. The saloon downstairs had some great food and was a great time meeting some local residents. I cannot emphasize how great Sara, Denise, and Bae were. They went above and beyond to help me when I ran into some issues at the end of my trip. They were so great, that by the end of my first night there, I extended my stay another few days!
What’s not to like? If you love, rustic, and you love the outdoors, or a fabulous view then you’re gonna love this place! The staff is absolutely wonderful, and even with a bar downstairs it really wasn’t that loud. A nice little bike trail, get you across the road with ease so that you can stand on the edge of the ocean and breathe in the mountain view. Absolutely love this place definitely going back.
