I booked the lodge as an extension of booking the company's tour of helicoptor to the dog sledding mushing camp on the glacier. To simply walk back to my room after the incredible experience on the glacier was wonderful.

Because I was there during shoulder season I did not meet any additional guests. I would have loved talking to others and their travels.

Great cabin, magnificent view. I would return.

Nothing not to like.

Cabins were all we needed. Great that we could sit outside on the porch.

Trail was overgrown.

Views, tours, location, room, bathroom, bed, restaurant. Everything was great. Would have been nice to have a microwave in the room, but it has been the highlight of the trip.

The helicopter tour messed up the names and didn't take us on the lower landing because they mixed up our groups. They were unable to take us back and refunded the money. If you go confirm with the pilot they have the right name and tour.

Peaceful, beautiful setting. What we didn't know, is that they have a fairly big (and growing) helicopter service behind the main lodge, to transport people to the nearby glacier. Service can start as early as 8am, so they claim, but we never head anything sooner than 8:30am, and that didn't bother us, as we were up & heading to adventures by then. Cabin was clean & cozy. The service was #1, the lodge food was terrific, and it was quintessential Alaska around us. We also didn't know they had laundry service which is only 1 set of machines, but it served us really well, as we were just over half-way on our trip, and needed to wash some clothes; our plans to do so in Talkeetna would have been seriously disappointing, as we saw nothing quick/convenient, as the machine at the lodge. Pop clothes in; enjoy a drink, dinner; move to dryer; add more clothes. We had to wait once for others, but one load is typically 35mins, so no big deal.

The helicopters. They flew around the cabins, as much as they can to get to the rear of the lodge when returning. Can run late (8pm), but we never saw them run later then 6:30pm. Also, it's address claims Palmer AK, but it is 30mins (south/south-east) from Palmer. Not so bad, but ought to set your expectations. We expected it to be on the edge of Palmer proper, so our drive to/from Matanuska Glacier went from 1hr to 1.5 hrs; our fault for not researching more. Glad to drive the additional 30mins for the end-of-day peaks and beauty around us, as well as the #1 service from the staff -- they were terrific.

So cute and the restaurant is amazing! We ate dinner there both nights and even had lunch. Really enjoyed our stay!

The bed up against the wall and also they have blinds but blackouts would be nice since we had 20 hours of light

Everything! the cabin was perfect for our family. nothing was a disappointment!

Great view - spacious rooms - great staff - the restaurant/bar with beers on tap.

Not cheap
