The Spruce Cabin @ The Wilds

The Spruce Cabin is one of three tiny cabins nestled in the foothills of Hatcher Pass. Located on a 200-acre homestead along the Little Susitna River, this off-grid cabin offers a true Alaskan experience. Complete with potable water, mini fridge and propane fireplace, you'll be cozy and comfortable no matter the season. Experience the off-grid lifestyle in the Last Frontier. The space The Spruce is an off-grid studio cabin. It's small but mighty, complete with limited electricity and a kitchenette for food prep. Your cabin is outfitted with two rechargeable lanterns, as well as one overhead light. Three outlets provide access for recharging computers and phones, but we do ask that you limit your electricity use when possible. The kitchenette features a mini fridge, french press and electric kettle, along with coffee, tea and hot cocoa. Our potable water is accessible via a rechargeable faucet. The Spruce is off grid, so we bring your water in and are happy to provide more if you need it. Your cabin features a unique acrylic ceiling over the bed, complete with electronic blackout blinds, so you can watch the Northern Lights right from bed. There is no bathroom inside your cabin, but the outhouse is only steps away and features a compost toilet. We recommend bringing your lantern with you for light! As stated above, our property is situated on 200 acres and features five miles of trails that you're free to use! Along with guests of the Fireweed and Aurora cabins, you'll share access to a fire pit, the trails and the outhouse. Embrace this unique experience and get to know your fellow travelers. Aurora: airbnb.com/h/thewildsaurora Fireweed: airbnb.com/h/thewildsfireweed Check us out at @discoverthewilds. Guest access Guests have full access to the property and its trails. We do ask that you respect our privacy and only approach our cabins if you need assistance. If you'd like a tour of the garden or a visit with the geese and chickens, we're more than happy to accommodate. Most likely, the chickens and geese will be out and about in the yard. The Spruce comes with a parking space, directly opposite your cabin. Other things to note We do not have a shower available to guests, but showers are available for purchase just down the road at Turner’s Corner and the Valley Country Store on Palmer Fishhook Road. Turner’s is cheaper but more minimal, while Valley Country is more expensive but has nicer facilities. We have towels available upon request if you’d like! While we don’t have wifi, the cabins do seem to get quality service from most cell carriers. We’ve seen LTE from Verizon, Xfinity and AT&T. With your hot spot, you should be able to stream, FaceTime with friends and more.
