This is gateway to Hatcher Pass State Recreational Area. WILLOW CREEK INN is centrally located to other areas popular with visitors. There's many things to do in Willow if you love the outdoors, love to fish or just enjoy scenic beauty & wildlife.
WILLOW CREEK INN is private. The river is 75 feet from the rental and the sound of the water is soothing. This river is not accessible for motorized boats, but a favorite for rafters & kayakers. Guests have spotted and/or photographed a variety of wildlife on the property. The river is accessible by foot. Great fly-fishing for rainbow/steelhead trout. There are gravel bars you can access for fishing & gold-panning. There's an eagle's nest on the property which eagles occupy during the summer months & raise their young. Willow has excellent fishing guides who will take you down the river in a raft. In the winter, snow-machiners use the 'old military trail' to gain access into Hatcher Pass. Winter renters also enjoy viewing the Northern Lights on cold clear nights in the Northern Sky.
Property beautiful in winter. Would like to see in summer. GREAT rental. Highly recommend
From the moment we booked, Paul and Ginny's cabin they made us feel welcome. They sent information about the area and very specific directions. Paul met us upon arrival and showed us around the cabin and shared information about the area. The cabin is VERY clean and has everything you need from cooking utensils, pots, pans, plates, to food and spices.
Our family enjoyed nightly board games that were available.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION: The cabin is a close to Anchorage, Denali, and Hatcher Pass. It is on Willow Creek for fishing- if you time it right. If not, you can enjoy a good book and fire on the shore. Paul was nice enough to bring us more wood and start the fire for us one day.
YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IF YOU RENT THIS CABIN! We only wish we could have stayed longer and lived close enough to buy it.
The property is gorgeous, sitting on a beautiful creek. The home was cozy and equipped with everything we could ever need! A bit bummed we could not use the wood stove, but overall a great place!
Best experience I’ve had renting a cabin. Reallly enjoyed the fire pit
Cabin is beautiful, with everything fir a getaway. Kids especially enjoyed playing at the river.
Our group stayed here for four nights in late July 2017. The cabin is very clean, neat and well decorated. It has a nice secluded feeling. We enjoyed sitting on the porches, especially the one that faces Willow Creek. We saw a cow moose and calf on the property. Paul and Ginny were quick to respond and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend this cabin to others and would certainly stay there again myself. Larry &Dianne, Paul & Elaine
