Rustic cabins and kitchens. Artful details all around the property- blown glass, fired ceramics, metal work, colorful buoys, Einstein lightbulbs, birch wood, and wood details. Great views all around with private beaches on both sides. Staff is very personal and attentive, and you can tell genuinely wnts their guests to have a great time.

A Gem in Alaska

Between Beaches was a perfect birthday get away. They had everything we needed in the cabin. The views were amazing and breathtaking. We planned on doing activities during our stay but the weather was so nice during our short stay we ended up beach bumming. Will definitely be back.

Perfect AK getaway

Awesome setup for couples. Beautiful spot and great hospitality. We’re Alaskans that have explored a lot of the State. This little get away is a must. It’s easy, clean and she’s already got the toys on site. Can’t recommend it enough.
