About this cabin rental

With close access to the Big Lake recreation area, the property offers a quiet wooded escape with a wrap around deck overlooking Meadows Creek, one of Alaska's anadromous salmon bearing streams.

Being on Meadows creek, "Fort Alaska" is a natural home to moose, river otter, trout, and salmon. Fish and kayak Meadows Creek within 100 feet of the unit. Situated on a private 9 acre parcel bordered by state owned 400 acre undeveloped forest.

The property offers the wild feel of Alaska yet is in close proximity to Big Lake and Wasilla. The paved road offers year-round access to Alaskan adventure but being a private 9 acre compound you have your own space to enjoy. Our quote includes a fee for kayaks, bikes, other toys and a small freezer for the storage of your fish.

With modern comforts and upgrades completed this single unit can be expanded and opened up to be a large double unit. To reserve this as a double unit to sleep up to 18 people please send an inquiry. Fort Alaska provides a nice location to relax and call your outpost to adventure. In Spring of 2024 the second unit can be rented to allow larger parties to stay together, however, it is NEVER rented to separate parties at the same time.
The property was originally built as the "Big Lake Fish Hatchery".
Today some of the historic hatchery still remains but the property has been upgraded to include comfortable natural gas central heating to keep you warm year round and designed to be business traveler friendly with independent Wifi.

Accommodations were all top of the line, from the appliances to the comfy beds to the thick carpeting, everything looked brand new. Great family set-up. Beautiful backyard with fire pit, gas grill and gazebo with table, chairs and picnic table. Gentle running creek is a nice accent. Fast responses from the host, Carrie, she made sure we had everything we needed. We used Fort Alaska as our home base from which to go on our daily adventures. Hatcher Pass and Eklutna Lake were two of our favorite places. Floaters Restaurant, nearby has great food!
