About this property

The Fiddle Creek Cabin offers all the amenities of home, only a short distance from some of the most popular recreation areas in Alaska!

Walk, ski, or bike from your cozy cabin door to the newly developed Government Peak trail system. Hike to the fireweed fields and waterfall or all the way to the summit on well-marked trails.

A 5-minute drive will take you to the Hatcher Pass public recreation area famous for a variety of activities: The fresh white snow is great for cross country and down hill skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and snow-shoeing. Our 19.5 hours of daylight during the summer months provide opportunity for berry picking, fishing, bird watching, paragliding, sightseeing, golfing, or gold-panning! The Independence Mine State Historical Park is a must-see for visitors intrigued by Alaska's gold mining past.

After adventuring, return to your comfortable "base camp" in its quiet neighborhood at the foot of the mountain. Whether you like to heat up easy snacks or prepare seven-course meals, you can do it in the Fiddle Creek Cabins' modern kitchen. Outside, there's a BBQ grill and a fire pit with a breath-taking view of nearby mountains. Or you can relax inside with Netflix on the flat screen TV and Wi-Fi for all your devices. Enjoy hot showers and fresh clean towels and bedding to complete your rest!

Whether you are an avid outdoorsman or just traveling through the Palmer-Wasilla area looking for an overnight in our beautiful woods, The Fiddle Creek Cabin is for you. Just 10 miles from down-town Palmer or 20 miles from Wasilla, the cabin is available for one or more nights' stay.

THE ALASKAN MOUNTAINS ARE CALLING AND YOU MUST GO.
SEE YOU SOON!

Peaceful Getaway

This was truly an amazing and peaceful getaway location. I spent the weekend here and explored the Hatcher Pass Recreational area. The cabin location was perfect! The cabin offers every amenity needed. The property was very clean and the babbling brook running along side the cabin was so peaceful and relaxing. I would recommend staying here for any reason. This location did not disappoint!

Peaceful and Relaxing

This place was the perfect first stop for our two week trip in Alaska! It was peaceful listening to the bubbling creek and watching the fire we made each night. Heather even refilled our firewood for our last night, which made for an amazing last fire that inspired us to cook outside and completed a great stay! The cabin itself is adorable, and the screen door makes it seem like we were outside even when we were sitting on the comfy couch:)

Cabin was really well thought out and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the little creek that was next to the cabin. Although we were only at the cabin one night and passing through the area, if you were going to spend some time around the Palmer area, I would highly suggest this cabin. It's very near Government Peak and the Hatcher Pass Recreation areas that support a lot of outdoor activities.

LOVED our stay at Fiddle Creek Cabin!

We stayed at Fiddle Creek Cabin on our last night of a 15 day trip in Alaska. We were on our way back to Anchorage. This was the perfect way to end our vacation. We loved the babbling creek outside our door and the magnificent view of the mountain! We wish we had planned more time in the Palmer area as you get a glimpse of the Wrangel St Elias Mountains which are breath taking! The owner was attentive and we had the pleasure of meeting she and her two children. We will most definitely recommend the Fiddle Creek Cabin to any friends or family traveling through Palmer AK. As a side note, we did a quick Google search for restaurants before checking in and were pointed to the Noisy Goose. It was a cute diner, good food. We brought 2 slices of pie back for a late dessert. It was delicious! We joked that you know you are in Alaska when you eat at the Flying Squirrel (Talkeetna) in the morning and at the Noisy Goose (Palmer) in the afternoon. Both great choices. Thank you Heather and family! Don and Laurie

About the host

Hosted by David & Heather Farmer

David & Heather, along with their three kids, love to enjoy the many things that Hatcher Pass has to offer. They like to ski, bike, and hike right from their back yard. They bought the five acre lot and immediately began building in 2006. The most recent building project has been The Fiddle Creek Cabin. Much of the lumber used to build the cabin is from spruce cut logs which were harvested locally and sawed by David. Heather is the interior designer and decorator. Both David and Heather have had lots of helpful hands as this has been a family project. They are sure you will enjoy both the location of this cabin as well as the unique details that The Fiddle Creek Cabin has to offer such as the arched bridge, fire pit and a covered porch.

Why they chose this property

The best part about the property is the stellar mountain view of Government Peak where the reflection of the sun changes the view multiple times throughout the day.
