The property is an entire 1-bedroom house - full kitchen, large bedroom with a heavenly king bed plus a built-in bunk bed. We were invited to use the washer, which helped a lot. Sat out on the deck to relax. There’s a cafe on property with fantastic meals -very reasonably priced and so good that we ended up eating breakfast, lunch and dinner there over the 2 days. Hint; the scones and pulled pork sliders were delish and the triple chocolate cheesecake took care of my sweet tooth for days. We chose this property for the closeness to the guided fishing trip hubby had booked and it ended up being one of the best spots on our vacation.

Beautiful and cozy stay

We had a great time during our stay! Check in/out was super easy, and the property manager came by to show us how to work the stove. The house was beautiful and cozy, and we loved the views out the windows from the second floor. If we come back to the area we will definitely try and stay here again!

Super comfortable stay in Willow

My wife and I loved the time we spent in Willow and hope to go back again some day. Next time we hope to do a kennel tour or go for a dog sled tour. This stay was part of a trip we’ll remember the rest of our lives. We loved it.

Honeymoon

Communication with host was awesome, check in was super easy, and stay was great! Cozy cabin lower level, with a really nice large bedroom upstairs. Large patio for hanging out, and the sounds of howling sled dogs in the morning really accents the Alaskan outdoors.

Gem in the heart of Willow

Perfect spot for single individual, couple or small family. Full kitchen had all the basics needed, fantastic location, the cafe next door open 8am-8pm was HUGE, food/service exceeded expectations and the dogs were a pleasant surprise. Kale is the ultimate host and made me + my 9yo feel at home from the movement we arrived all thru check out. We will be back again!

The hospitality and passion of the dog lovers is wonderful

Lovely stay here! The people who own this place also own ann amazing team of worker dogs who train for the iditirod. They love the area, their life, and love to share their modern cabin with us! Trailside Cafe is run next door, and the food is excellent. The beds (king and twin) beds, both upstairs, are comfy. Note that the bathroom is only downstairs. Lovely hosts and the best of luck to them!

Lovely Pitstop in Willow

First timers to AK, trying to take in the full experience. Had a great stop here in Willow! We were able to meet Kale and a few four-legged friends to round out our stay. Kale was welcoming and helpful in providing the lay of the land & the place was very clean, inviting and provided many opportunities for hanging out + cool views. Thanks for a great intro to AK!
