Property Description
While the unit is advertised for a number of people, it is great for a couple as well. We bought a two bedroom log cabin in the 60's. In 1974 we built a two story addition to accommodate our six children. At the time we wired and plumbed one bedroom so it could someday be a kitchen. The downstairs of the addition consists of a double garage, sun room and dining room. The upstairs is where guests are welcome. It has four bedrooms, sitting area, kitchen and porch. We have rented it monthly for many years but this time it was vacated we decided to do it as a VRBO. We live in the cabin downstairs.
Also on the property is a cabin that the original owner built for his parents and a barn that we built for our children and converted to a house when they were grown. We did bed and breakfast in them in the 1990's. At the time we registered the name Riverside Retreat. After a few years we decided to rent them on a monthly basis to have more time to play and travel. We can no longer do some of the things we used to do so are doing VRBO in the cabin too. We enjoy marrying people. We also enjoy sharing the space we have taken for granted for so many years. It really is a special spot.About pets:Pets allowed.About checkOut:Flexible check-out available (contact host to arrange).About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Flexible check-in available (contact host in advance of arrival).About smoking:Smoking allowed: in designated areas.We ask that people smoke outside..About events:Events allowed.

The house was very dirty, smoke filled and musty. We left after 2 nights and did receive a refund. The carpet was laid in the 1970’s, orange and green shag. The bedding was dirty as was the bathroom. The kitchen small appliances need replacing. The only nice thing was the view of the river. It needs a total makeover. Buyer beware.

Host was wonderful to work with and the location was beautiful.. right along the river. The rooms were decorated with awesome game furs and taxidermy. It was an ideal place for us. Thank you!

Safe place for dogs, beautiful views
Flexible checkin/out times, this was a great area to have dogs with us. The interior is outdated, but in a very cute way. There were some things the previous people had left behind (children’s socks and undies in the hallway) that weren’t noticed by the host. The balcony was lovely to sit on, the only real downside was the heat wave that we had, certainly not controllable, but the lack of ventilation was a bit uncomfortable, so if you’re headed here during summer, just be aware. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would recommend Martha’s place.

Stuffed Wildlife
Location's wonderful. Beautiful yard. Lovely host. However.....the accomodations are so dingey, uncomfortable, and dated. There's no living room. The carpets are incredibly dirty. The shower barely works. Half the kitchen sink was unusable. Dirty dishcloths in sink. Old food in fridge. The bedding, sheets, blankets, pillows and bedspread, kind of creepy. Children's highschool posters overhead.Most of all DEAD animals and hides everywhere. That was especially disconcerting to wildlife lovers who have spent years living in and exploring Alaska. We dont mean to be mean or insulting. We thought a lo about not saying anything. It just needs a lot of help and love before we'd ever return

Property met our needs but couldve been a little cleaner. It was fine for the men in the group but the women were a little put out about the overall cleanliness of the bedsheets in some of the rooms and kitchen area needed a little more cleaning prior to arrival.
