Important safety notes

We are very concerned about the comfort and safety of your stay. Our cabin is a ONE STORY cabin with a loft. The loft area contains 2 full size beds, the washer/dryer as well as a closet, lighting and a ceiling fan. It is open to the living room/kitchen area.

Some safety items to consider:
  1. During Alaskan winters ice can be present causing the stairs and porch leading to the main entry to be slippery.
  2. Due to the square footage of the cabin there is not room for a full staircase to the loft area. The access to the loft is a standard pull-down attic ladder.
  3. Use of the woodstove has inherent risks.
  4. The Big Lake community is rural; moose, bear and other wildlife may be present.

We ask that you study the loft access photos on this page and ensure that you feel everyone in your party can safely use the facilities. We are always glad to answer any questions that you have.

After reviewing this safety brief and photos of loft access we ask you to indicate your acceptance of a standard safety waiver.
