My husband and I have two children and love to be busy with kids' activities, sports, and traveling. We are passionate about living life to the fullest and experiencing all we can!
Why they chose this property
My husband and I both grew up in rural areas and love being in nature. Alaska is a beautifully serene place and this home spoke to us from the first moment we walked in. The windows are expansive and perfect for viewing the Northern Lights. This was a bucket list item for us and we want to share it with you as you make your Alaskan memories!
