Cute little log house.

I have to say that the Comfy Cabin was the cleanest VRBO I've ever stayed in...and I am a neatnik. It had everything we needed. The only drawback was the lack of a closet or dresser for our clothes, but we emptied shelves of decorative items and were able to store everything out of our suitcases. I, being someone who loves to move furniture around, have a suggestion to the owners for that. Instead to the right of the sofa, build a little chiffarobe with drawers and place there.(Just a suggestion). Thank you for making our visit to Houston, AK comfortable.

Lovely location, adorable cabin. Very clean and comfortable. The only improvement I would suggest is Wifi. Otherwise, it was a great home base after enjoying this amazing state each day. Just wished I would have had 2 weeks to explore!!!!

It is a cozy cabin close to a lake.

It is a cozy cabin close to a lake. The owners live right next to the cabin and were helpful and friendly. That being said the cabin is too small for 3 adults. 2 adults and sleeping room for 2 children is OK. Kitchen only has space for 2 chairs. TV mounted but no cable connection or wifi.

Great Getaway

This place is perfect. Far enough away to be private but close enough to plenty of fun stuff. I had to make a change to our reservations and Robin was great to deal with. She was able to make the necessary changes quickly and was very pleasant in doing so. Awesome place, great host.

Nice and quiet place.

It is a simple, clean and quiet place. I stayed there during a sled dog race with a trailer of 15 dogs. There was ample parking for the trailer and it was a quiet and safe environment, well suited for our weekend. I would personally add a bit more lighting to the kitchen area.

About the host

Hosted by Robin Rice

Host profile image
When my brother took a fishing trip to Alaska when I was 13 and came back with pictures, I always wanted to live here in a log home. Now, I have a log home and a log cabin. My husband and 5 children love to explore the woods, play in the lake, and raft down wild Alaskan rivers.
