If there was a sixth star these cabins would get it! Such a beautiful area and amazing accommodations! The cabin we stayed in was extremely clean and modern. There’s no where we would rather stay when visiting the Mat-su Valley. Dan and Matti are very friendly and great hosts. Thanks guys!

I spent a lot of time traveling across the US this summer from every state between Georgia and Indiana then to Seattle by car and stayed in many Airbnb's. Linda yours was by far the best experience I had all summer. Thank you so much
Cottages are AMAZING! Read More
Our whole family stayed at the Alaska Backcountry Cottages and it is was AMAZING! The cottage was super clean and I loved how it was decorated. The kitchen had a stove and full size fridge and was equipped with pans, dishes, and utensils- everything we needed to make our own meals with the food we brought!
Highly recommend! Read More

Very private and adorable getaway! Read More
The property is new, very clean and well maintained! The owners are absolutely amazing and quick to get back with any needs or questions. Very private and adorable getaway! It is a bit further from everything...but definitely worth the drive :))
The best thing to happen to us... Read More
Our original booking with another place had to cancel last minute and we ended up booking with Alaska Backcountry Cottages. I have to say that was the best thing to happen to us for our first trip to Alaska. The cottage was super cute, very clean, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Checking in was a breeze and we appreciated the hospitality. The drive to and from was absolutely beautiful. Not too far from town if you ever needed anything. We will definitely be back again!
Beautiful location! Read More
Great place in a beautiful location.
These cottages are incredible! Read More
These cottages are incredible! I did an ATV tour to the Knik Glacier with Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours and afterwards stayed in their new cottages. The view from the porch is spectacular!
Dan and Matti are awesome hosts. The booking was super easy and they were all ready when I arrived. These cottages are brand new and very clean. They even had a washer and dryer in the unit I stayed.
If you're visiting Anchorage make the short drive to Palmer and stay here. Also book an adventure with Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours. The tour to the glacier is a must.
Highly recommend.
Special place! Read More

We loved our stay here so much! The cabin was so cute and cozy! The views were incredible too! Matti was a great host and went above and beyond to help me plan our trip and Mike was an awsome guide - we loved the Knik Glacier ATV tour! This trip has been so amazing and Palmer, AK will always have a little place in our hearts! We hope we get to come back soon!
I will never forget this place! Read More
Visiting my home (Alaska) was a very emotional and thrilling time - I will never stop coming back here! Staying in this cabin is like a little "home"...so cozy and private and beautiful. Linda was very nice and I will never forget this place - Thank you and I will most definitely recommend this place to everyone I know that plans to visit Alaska.
We will be back Read More
Thank you all so much for your hospitality. The first morning our car would not start and Dan and Matti saved us (it was -31F). I will tell all I know about this place. Good luck. We will be back.
This place was perfect Read More
This place was perfect - quiet and tucked back. Amenities were beyond what I expected. Beautifully crafted. Cozy for what the weather was doing. The owners were wonderful and very helpful. I will stay here again.

Thank you for providing such a wonderful, beautiful, and cozy experience. The cottage was immaculate, quiet and allowed me and my husband to slow down and relax. We will visit again!
What an experience we had! Read More
What an experience we had! From the moment we checked into your ATV tour, we were made to feel welcome! In order of what we did, the cottage Pine - what a beautiful cottage; the quality of work; the beautiful view; and, all the lovely touches you did to make your guests feel special. And we really did! The ATV tour...a highlight of our Alaska vacation and we will be back!!! From seeing four moose, Dall Sheep, endless streams and beauty, Knik Glacier - incredible. Lunch was delicious! You are blessed to be in this incredible state and we are blessed you are sharing it with us. Thank you!
It was an absolute pleasure and delight to stay with you Read More
We want to thank you for your warm hospitality! I feel like we were friends even before we got here, and more so now! What a beautiful family you are! You should be very proud of the end result of your hard work. You can tell a lot of love went into this gorgeous cottage! All the finishes you picked are what most people would choose for their own home, not a rental cottage! The little special details did not go unnoticed! It was an absolute pleasure and delight to stay with you. I hope our paths meet again some day...
Thank you for sharing your gorgeous cottage with us Read More
Thank you for your hospitality and for sharing your gorgeous cottage with us. We are excited to get to be one of your first guests - your attention to detail and little personal touches made this a memorable stay. We were traveling down from Fairbanks for the weekend to visit the State Fair. We have spent the entire summer traveling around Alaska and exploring. We have been all the way up to Deadhorse and then all the way down to Homer. I have an affinity for tiny little, cozy Alaskan cabins and we book them often. Yours was definitely a favorite for us. Super inviting and cozy.
Good sleeping! Read More
Thanks for going out of your way to make sure all went well for our vacation. You are wonderful and should have your cabins full at all times in no time. Thanks again! Good sleeping!

We appreciate your hospitality and we are so thankful for the peace and beauty the cottage brought us.
