About Your Hosts
Our Alaska Story Begins
My family’s Alaska adventure started 30 years ago when Jason and I traveled from our home in South Dakota to Alaska for our honeymoon. It was way back then when we fell in love with the state and knew that at some point, we would call Alaska home.
We returned to South Dakota where we graduated college, worked on our careers, and raised our four sons. Over the years we would continue visiting Alaska all the while introducing our boys to the vast opportunities that the Alaskan wilderness provides. My family’s love for the outdoors, including hunting, fishing, and hiking remains strong and serves as a constant reminder of what drew us to Alaska all those years earlier.
In the fall of 2022, we purchased this beautiful Resort located in the Mat-Su Valley on the edge of Shulin Lake and spent all of 2023 preparing the property for guests. It is our desire to continue sharing our love of the Alaskan wilderness by providing travelers with diverse activities and unparalleled lodging. My family is excited for our new adventure and look forward to sharing it with you. Feel free to give us a call to hear more about our Resort, the excursions, and the amenities we provide. I hope our paths cross soon. Until then, safe travels and be well!
