Come and experience Sojourn Cabin, a getaway that will provide a perfect mix of tranquility and adventure. While it is stylish and comfortable, it also leaves you at nature's doorstep where you can explore all that the Alaskan wilderness has to offer: Summertime access to scenic hiking and biking trails; fishing on many nearby creeks & rivers; and accessible cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails in winter. You'll be a world away from it all, while still just 30 miles from the nearest town.
You'll enter Sojourn Cabin through an arctic entry, and into the main open concept living space with prow windows. Immediately to your right, you'll find the kitchen and beyond that the living room with a wood stove at its center. You'll find a two different seating areas, a smart TV with Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, and a variety of Alaskan themed books. The windows make the living room feel bright and spacious, and offer the opportunity for bird watching in the summer, and star gazing in the winter. You can also enter the deck from the living room, where you can sit and relax. Occasionally, you may be lucky enough to see the northern lights out the window, a moose sighting, or one of the local dog teams training down below.
The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, stove with hood range, microwave, and dishwasher. A coffee station is available with local coffee roasted by Farm Loop Coffee, and local tea by Felicity Loft. You'll also find all the cookware you'll need, as well as olive oil and spices. You'll have enough space for up to six to dine around the kitchen island.
Upstairs in the loft, you'll find a king sized bed with bedside lamps and changing ports. Downstairs, you'll find another small bedroom beyond the kitchen with a queen sized bed, blackout curtains, bedside lamps, and charging ports. The space is ideal for four people, but can hold up to six people using an air mattress, which you'll find in the bedroom closet.
Beside the bedroom you'll find the bathroom, with a shower, a tub, and lotion that is locally made by Grey Fox. You'll also find a full sized washer and dryer in the laundry room.
