Every now and then I find a gem off the beaten path. Cantwell Cabins was fantastic. My family was greeted with a room so fresh that the painters tape still lined the door frame. Breakfast was superb with fruits and something homemade, like quiche, along with the standard breakfast cereals and yogurts. There was internet access and no TV (for us that's a strong positive). Sheets and blankets were clean. Staff was very helpful. Everything was great.

This place is better than it looks. Outside rundown but interiors were updated and cozy. The host had continental breakfast and beautiful mountain views, with stream adjacent to the property and a beautiful train track. You will hear the train at night but its not disruptive. Access to restaurants is limited and gas prices at Vitus (nearby gas station) are expensive, at least $2/gal more than average in Alaska.

We really enjoyed talking to Cynthia King. She had a really tough day with vehicle break downs so she was running a little late.

Property was not yet open. rooms we were shown would not have been acceptable in a homeless shelter. Restaurant & bar was not open though was advertised.. Entire place was a dump & we refused to stay there & demanded a refund.

Staff was helpful. Hotels.com directions to hotel were wrong. Google search for cantwell cabins got us on to the correct location. Breakfast was nice. A good combination of fresh fruit and basic breakfast options.

Strange

This place was not what I was expecting at all. When i got there, the guy running it took me in through the back. Just about all the lights were off. He was turning them on when we walked through the whole building. He told me it was because electricity is expensive and they are trying to save money. The room was like attached to a shut down/run down bar and restaurant. The feeling of the place was like, "i hope this isnt a serial killer's home and I'm being lured in". There is supposed to be a continental breakfast but nothing had been prepared before I left. He told me he was dealing with family issues and had over slept. Just a very strange motel experience and i would not stay here again.

We had a great stay at Cantwell Cabin. It's a cute little cabin in a very convenient location, making it an excellent base for exploring the area. The cabin comfortably accommodated our group of four and was a perfect place to relax and sleep after a day of adventures. Cynthia was very helpful, responsive, and made the stay easy and enjoyable. The only minor inconvenience was that the restroom and shower facilities are located in the main hotel building, so you need to walk over to use them. Other than that, we had a pleasant experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, cozy place to stay in Cantwell.
