    No electricity. It kept tripping as heater was connected. Heating not working so couldn't sleep whole night.. No blankets provided, only sleeping bag type cover was provided. Bedsheet and bed were really bad.

    The quiet of the place in the woods. I liked the quiet of the place. However I read the info on the web that rooms had a bathroom and shower in them which they did not Also it was over a half mile to the nearest store which was a drag as we had no ca

    The atmosphere, staff and housing is great! I am from the area-Delta Junction and I was in for appointments. But i like to chill with likeminded people. And I knew I would find it there, and I will be visiting again! I am a local adventure guide here in Delta Junction, and your place is a place that my guests like to stay. Cool Place! The only issue ii had was the noise from the road and airport. But that has nothing to do with your Hostel. And it wasn't horrible. I slept well!

    Really neat place , has that wonderful camp feeling to it .We got in very late from a long flight and it was so close to the airport and our taxi driver knew right where it was and our cabin was easily found even on a dark rainy night

    Secluded, good location with cozy atmosphere and everything you need. Bathrooms can get busy at different times of the day

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    very noisy on airport and train routes.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    A hidden gem in plain sight. The cabin is new and tucked back in the trees. We were welcomed and also had everything we needed in this little wooded oasis.

    the girl host was welcoming. the place is right near/in anchorage so that helps. I am an experienced traveler familiar with hostel environments, my experience at here was disappointing and unacceptable. Upon arrival, the girl was welcoming; however, the accommodations were not habitable IMHO. The bed linens provided were unclean, the room had a stale odor, and the overall environment resembled a homeless shelter rather than a traveler's hostel. Furthermore, the room and the shower area were completely infested with mosquitoes, making it impossible to use the facilities or stay the night. Due to these conditions, including the lack of cleanliness and the presence of mosquitoes in the common and sleeping areas, I left the premises immediately. Further more , there was an old man in the dorm that I was allotted bed in and he looked to me a homeless man instead of a traveler ( if he had any disease, I don't want to catch any).

    Very nice place never stayed somewhere like this place. People were friendly even thought it was after hours when I rank the bell.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great place! More relaxing than a hotel with a fire pit, grills, and full kitchen to use and make the stay more enjoyable
