We offer reasonably priced cabins that can sleep up to 6 people, all with private baths and coffee makers. Some cabins are available with refrigerators and microwaves.

Our full service restaurant, "The Creekside Café", features breakfast, lunch, and dinner, beer, wine and espresso bar. We are a local "favorite" and ranked #1 on Trip Advisor for our home cooked goodness! Enjoy fantastic food, mountain views and unparalleled Alaskan hospitality. Come experience "casual dining" at its finest.

In addition to the "Creekside Cafe" we also offer BBQ and picnic facilities, a tour and information desk and an awesome fire pit alongside the creek. Our location is a hikers paradise with numerous trails in the back country right outside our front door!

What do you say about a place where even staff are happy to be there? Just ask our guests. Those who visit us tend to leave as friends rather than merely exceptionally well-looked-after customers, and that's just the way we plan it.
