About this property

Blue Moose Cottage - A peaceful paradise of Alaskan awe and allure.

Visitors say, "How do you ever leave this place!" The cottage is located on a lakeside homestead that we call, Selah Rest Orchard, a U-Pick-It orchard, with apples, plums, cherries, haskaps, currants and raspberries. It is surrounded by natural forests and inspiring mountain views, just 3 miles from world-class fishing on the Little Susitna River, 25 miles west of Wasilla.

Alaska vacation

Very clean cabin! Lovely hosts! Wasilla is a nice town (Larsons Pizza is great!). We had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to come back.

Thank you Hannah for the pizza recommendation! We haven’t been to Larson’s Pizza ourselves. Will have to give it a try. Glad you enjoyed your stay, despite our final week of spring snow melt. The ice went out on the lake today. You were the best guests and always welcome back.
