8/1/08 This was Ron & my's 4th trip to AK & what a special month we had here! 30 days that were fun filled and the cabin was by far the nicest, cleanest place to have chosen - view is gorgeous- chilly nights w/ a warm fireplace to wake up to w/ our morning coffee. Thank you Diane for all your hospitality. We enjoyed hiking Hatchers Pass, Independence Mine, fishing w/ our grand daughter who flew in for 12 days...ended up catching fresh silver salmon every night she was here. Saw Mt Mckinley clearly 2 days in a row...Thanks again for a wonderful month, Ron & Sherry Schumate, The Villages, FL 7/08 Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful and comfortable cabin. It was exactly what Fred and I were looking for. Something simple, sweet, clean and quiet. Nestled in the most amazing country. Fred and I experienced wild life like brown bear, a mother moose and her baby, eagles, reindeer, and a mother grizzly and three of her cubs. We went site seeing and enjoyed the local history and flavor of your great State. It was a wonderful trip and we will return. The fire place and the Jacuzzi tub were a nice welcome to our relaxing evenings.. Thank you for your true Alaskan hospitality.
Fred and Angela Billetnikoff 7/31/08 It's been a great 8 days at Bella Donna cabin. It's got all the comforts of home plus lots of privacy. On the 1st night we were here, we walked down by the creek & 2 moose were watching us from across the pond. We love this area with its beautiful mountain views, lakes, streams & wild life. This cozy cabin is everything we thought it might be and then some. Thanks for a wonderful stay! Scott & Gretchen Fon du Lac, Wisconsin 7/13/08 Such great R & R. Enjoyed seeing kings in the creek. Enjoy your stay as much as we did! Seater-Wood Family, Anchorage, AK 8/2/2008 What a great way to spend our 43rd anniversary! I caught my big rainbow - 3 of them on Willow creek. Great place to stay - lots of good memories and meals here. Walter & Susan Blanchard & son Michael Cypress , TX 11/23/08 We loved the cabin. It was exactly as pictured on your website. Even though it was only 1 night, we will be marketing this place through out Indiana. We'll be back! Mike & Fran Andrews, IN 3/30/2008 Thank you so much! We had a wonderful stay in the Bella Donna cabin. We came for a weekend getaway of peace & serenity and we were blessed. May God bless your business & your family exceedingly! Love & blessings, Chelsea Williams & Annie Moow Chugiak,AK 12/21-12/31/2007 We had a wonderful trip here in Alaska. It has been a trip of a lifetime for the Bridle Family. We had fun sledding at Hatchers Pass, catching an Alaska Avalanche hockey game, cross country skiing at Eagle River, snow mobiling at Willow & so many other neat things. The views of the mountains are too beautiful for words. The camera and film can't catch their beauty. We had great weather- cold but enjoyed every moment of it even on our night walks. The cabin was very, very clean. Thank you for keeping it clean- that means alot to us.Thanks for the supply of clean towels & for having fans. We love to sleep with the hum of a fan. You have a great view of the mountains here. We enjoyed seeing them peak through the clouds everyday. I could say so much more but having a cabin as nice & neat as this cabin helps make a great trip better. Perfect spot. You're blessed! God's blessings from the Bridle's to yours. Thanks again from North Carolina |

9/29/07 Serenity turned into tranquility & harmony. I had my 85 yr old Mom from Cincinnati with us & my Wasilla daughter & grand daughters. We gathered here one evening for a meal. It was beautiful & perfect in every sense. Very quiet in the evenings & a restful 2 days. Thank You! |

Hi Diane, I'm sorry we forgot to fill out your guest book, but my Grandmother, Parents, children, and I had a wonderful time. It has become a wonderful memory of our trip and family time spent in Alaska. This memory is cherished even more now that my Grandmother has gone on to Heaven. We may never understand why she had to leave while visiting us in Fairbanks, but we all trust in the promises of Christ that "all things work for good to those who trust in Him". Thank you again for the wonderful memories with all four generations. My Grandmother loved looking at all the interesting plants around your property. We were blessed to have that time together in such a lovely setting. God bless your adventures and family. Angela Sheble 2007 |

We loved the cabin & the location was awesome. Cow moose & calf came by one evening about 7:30.We only saw maybe a dozen mosquitoes the whole time. Lot's to see & do in the area, and the people are super friendly. Thanks, Dan & Shelia Waltrip, Overbrook,KS Aug. 2007 What a swell way to arrive! "Watch out for planes, cross the bridge, watch out for moose, see the salmon spawn!"The cabins are great and the setting is true Alaska. We enjoyed the sate fair. Jim Tanner, CA 9/07 |
 |
We came up for the Paoletti/ O'Brien nuptials. The bride looked beautiful & the groom most handsome. This was probably the finest wedding we had the pleasure to attend. We are blessed to have you in our family. Thank you for the use of this amazing cabin. Beware the attack mosquitoes! Titos family, WA 6/28/07  |

Hey Diane, we had a great time in Wasilla, thanks for your hospitality and all of the good advise from John. You guys are great. Here are a few pictures from Willow Creek. How did you guys do in Homer? Got any pictures? Have a great rest of the summer, your friends at Tennessee Air National Guard 2005 |

Thank you for your hospitality and providing such a wonderful place to stay. We truly had the time of our lives. Gabriella loved being outside with the ducks and the water. Everything was wonderful. Thank you. Lynette, Doug, Gabby & the twins This has been the best vacation ever. The boys woke up every morning to fish and feed the ducks at the pond- Kristian had his 10th birthday here and says it´s the "greatest" one he has had. We took a fishing trip out of Seward and caught about 90# of salmon and halibut-thank you for your help and hospitality. |

Friends Forever | |

This week was absolutely incredible! Words are inadequate to express our appreciation for your generous hospitality. This cabin & the location exceeded our expectations. We came here to celebrate 50 years of life & 41 years of friendship. We were welcomed by a moose on the first morning and refreshed by the snow on the last night. Beautiful weather, ducks, warm campfire - we look forward to returning! Susan & Gaya, Knoxville TN 4/2004 |
| All the way from Florida... | |

This was our first time coming to Alaska and we had the most fun on this vacation than on any other we have taken. Creekside Cabins offered us an excellent place to stay that was comfortable and affordable. It was a cozy cabin and featured everything we needed to enjoy our stay. And the host's were very helpful w/ making sure we saw all the most popular sites. We are definitely coming back to Alaska and plan on staying at Creekside Cabins. Thanks so much! Duane, Cheryl, Shelby & Hunter, Ft. Lauderdale, FL |
| Thanks! | |

Thank you John and Diane for our most memorable vacation ever! We loved our stay at your beautiful cabin with the gorgeous views of the Talkeetna mountains and peaceful Cottonwood Creek. We traveled throughout the South-central region of Alaska and found your cabins to be the best by far in every way. We were so comfortable in your clean, spacious, and attractive accommodations. You were also such great hosts with so much knowledge about the endless opportunities for adventure just outside the door. Thank you so much; we now have beautiful life long memories! |

We really enjoyed our stay at the Belladonna Cabin during our very first visit to Alaska. The cabin was very clean, and had all the furnishings and comforts of home, yet we were nestled along a creek and took in the mountain views. The Paoletti family was very accomodating and helpful in planning our Alaska tourist activities. We would definitely stay at Creekside Cabins again when we come to Alaska.

We have been extremely impressed by your beautiful cabins - the cleanliness, amenities & charm have won us over & we will be sure to return! Our family has arrived from Newfoundland, BC & Alberta to attend a wedding & we have all felt completely at home in these spectacular surroundings. Thank you for everything! The Lockyer's This will be our last night here at the cabins & we are sad to be leaving. We really enjoyed our visit to Alaska & hope to come back again. Tonight we had a fire outside in the firepit & roasted weiners. We had a great laugh.

Diane & John, We couldn't have found a better place to get away from it all. It was very nice staying in the woods instead of the big city ( Phoenix, AZ) The boys had a great time staying in the loft & said the beds were very comfortable. We all enjoyed the fireplace. Most of all it was awesome to find a place that accommodates a family our size. (And all our stuff). You have an awesome place& we will tell everyone who is coming to Alaska. Thanks for everything!! The Miley's- Mike, Lorna, Blake, Craig, Todd & Scott 8/05 The cabin Coho is the nicest place in the world! Doris & Peter, Switzerland 8/05 Dave & I got married here today in the Bella Donna. It was lovely & what a wonderfull place to spend a 3 day honeymoon. It is a beautiful, charming place and I can't think of anywhere better to have started our new life together! Thank you so much! Dave & Shelly G. Sept. 9, 2005 Your cabin was truly a home away from home - it certainly has the "wow" factor! Congratulations on having one of the best B&B's we have stayed in. L. Butcher 2006 We have so enjoyed this cabin! Last year I couldn't make it & Jim was here alone. Jim kept raving over the cabin & promised to bring me & so here we are this year. And what a great time we are having! It is so nice to have your own place to cook & relax & sit on the porch- have your coffee in the morning & the quiet... There is no road noise anywhere. We love the fireplace. Tonight is our last night & I am feeling sad to leave, but I am sure we will stay here again. Thank you for everything. Jim & Karen Griswold, NV 2006 Psalm 103 We really loved the cabin - great view & very peaceful. This was a great loccation for us to use as a "base" to travel around the state. We all looked forward to returning to the cabin after our mini trips to Fairbanks & Kenai. We hope to come back again some day!

| This has been a special time for our entire family. We have been trying to take advantage of every opportunity to visit with our 23 year old son who has followed an inner calling to duty by joining the United States Army. He will be going over "there" in September, 2006. While the odds are great that he will return in one piece, in my heart I know that he may not. That is why this has been a great family visit, memory & adventure. Thank you so much. Please pray for our troops. Mrs. Karen Weinheimer & family - Ron, P.F.C. Adam Weinheimer, Ryan & Christine, Christopher & Nicholas Lindsey April 2006 Hamilton, Ohio |
