**** This cabin is an Alaskan escape. A place to be away, to enjoy the outdoors and to immerse yourself in a world revolved around the true peace of wild spruce trees and quiet life. There is no provided Wi-Fi (cell data works great for most providers and I use my hotspot for my laptop). My service provider is Verizon and it works wonderfully.
5 acre property. There is an entirely separate small cabin on the parcel that is a long term rental. This is a shared private parking lot with our long term tennant.
5th bed is a luxurious queen pull out from the leather couch.
