I spent 3 weeks with Robert and Sarah in Alaska . I stayed in this cabin , and I will be doing a full review In the next few weeks. I miss this place and them , wounder people , wonderful location, great hospitality... I truly feel like this is my second home. Please be warned !!!!, this cabin , history , and land is addictive.. ever since I left l , all I want to do is go back. Living in Florida for the last 21 years, waking up and seeing that mountain every morning was such a site to behold . This experience is something that will stay with me for the rest days with heart felt longing to return.
Hi Rob Hi Sarah! The cabin looks so cozy, your guests are going to feel right at home. A cabin with a view, perfect! Your mom is very crafty! Love your mugs! TY for the tour! -P & J
Wow, super cool! Looks really nice and bright inside. Jim always had it dark it seemed, except the kitchen/table area. So much looks the same, I almost expect to see Jim walking around cussing bears or humans, but I notice the changes it looks good! I remember the gun rack was loaded too! I like the upgrades to the trappers cabin, that's where I would stay. The first time I was there, Jim was "living" in the trappers cabin and it was interesting sleeping 5 feet away from him.
@@curmudgeinnak I would love to come up for a visit, I have lots of stories about my experiences up at your place. Hopefully your audience would enjoy them, too. I need to figure out when I can make it up, maybe February or March I can head up on the Hurricane Turn, if it's convenient for you of course.
This area is beautiful. it was the first place we looked at when we started to look in Alaska. Fell in love with it and made offer on the spot. Then we found out about the history. lol
Now this is my kid adventure! Rob and Sarah and of course Robs mom. How amazingly awesome these cabins are. You all did just a fine job! Perfect. I have watched railroad Alaska in the past. How awesome is that! Your moms little bags with the mugs. Omg. Such a neat one of a kind idea. I absolutely love it. Taking and flagging down a train sounds just neat! We would love to visit one day. How wonderful! Great job again friends!!!! ❤️. Merry Christmas Rob and Sarah and a Happy New Year!!
Hi from Romania ! You people are "real" and I enjoy watching your hard work! I live in an communist block but my mind is wondering with people like you 😊. I'm 57 and I used to climb mountains when I could ....still do it occasionally. Wish you all my bests and ..... Keep Enjoying!
We remember Jim and Nancy from the show. It was amazing how much he could accomplish even without his hand. Sad to hear they have both passed. Amazing to see the transformation of their property. I always thought it was one of the neatest properties on the show. The show is on discovery+ that's where my husband and i found it.
Posh indeed! The cabin is nicely done and decorated. I think anybody looking to have an out of the way stay in Alaska would love to stay there. Thanks for sharing, Rob. 😊
@curmudgeinnak my husband and I are both disabled combat Veterans. We were discussing a nice two week vacation in a cabin with some "gods dam peace and quiet"...lol. He works full time and I have been concentrating on getting our home possible to sell. Minnesota is beautiful but I'm tired of the politics. I grew up in the south, and very country. I fish, hunt, worked as a diesel mechanic in military and oil field, ran a school bus shop. I worked as an engineer. Unfortunately my shoulders are worn out, and I'm going through the "oh shit I'm 51" realizing life is getting shorter. But, I'm always out in the woods or fishing, gardening and building things or I go crazy. Most hate winter here, but I love it!
Thank you. Yes it is. Sarah likes sitting and playing her Dulcimer in summer outside. I just like to sit back and take it all in and take pics of everything lol. Thank you for stopping by.
This cabin is Fantastic!!! I'll bet she smells amazin too with all that cedar. I'm in Arkansas on Lake Norfork and there r cabins that r NOT that nice. Hope yall are havin a great day, Thanks fer the video
The cabin is amazing. We loved living in it the first year while we finished the main house. Thank you very much for stopping by and watching a bit of our world.
Very nice tour! A nice and cozy cabin that will be a fantastic rental. A great way to experience off grid AK. Is there a link to purchase one of your mugs? Thank you!
we still have stations in indiana and chicago where you have to push a button at the shelter to get the train to stop. that or you better be waving on the platform at the conductor.
Consider putting some fishing poles in the gun rack. To use or just for looks. Sending lots of love 💕 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷
I really enjoy your channel. I also watch simple living alaska and this way i get to see the different ways to live in your beautiful state. Ive been to alaska and am coming again but on a cruise and that is cheating i know. Anyways i will keep watching but i dont think those rentals are for me and my wife, but they are really nicely done.
We are glad that you are here with us and that you are enjoying the videos. The cruise is not cheating. You are just seeing everything from a different view point. ;-)
Hi Rob, you gave a very nice presentation, very thorough. The cabins look fantastic, who wouldn't want to experience Alaska at your place. I love the idea of the coffee cup carrying case, your mom did a very nice job on them. They should see nice on your channel. One thing does need to be changed, John Wayne's picture has to go and replaced with my picture, LOL. Thanks so much for sharing
@@curmudgeinnak My little home isn’t much bigger than Ms Jane’s, and it’s not classified as a “tiny home”, but it’s only 770 SF With the (living room) room addition… and I don’t actually have any actual closets! So it’s a huge downsize for me… I relocated from relatively excruciatingly hot summers of SoCal and barely 2 actual “seasons,” and almost 1200SF… … to a place that starts winter in October-ish, but has all 4 seasons and is small with no closets! Go figure, LOL!
@@bernadetteevans2 I went the opposite way. I lived on my sailboat with no real storage to a 1969sqf house with two other cabins on property. Good thing. I built a huge closet for Sarah.
@@curmudgeinnak Well I was renting in California and after my husband was Promoted to Glory in 2018, as a Home Health Aide I had started taking care of my dad who passed away almost 3 years ago, he left us kids and grandkids a little nest egg, and I bought this fixer-upper home and left Southern California… it really was my late husband’s dream and wish for me to get out of California… just took me a little while longer to figure everything out… and I’m STILL trying to figure it all out… a few months ago the arthritis started exacerbating and in mid-July I tripped and fell over a cat and broke my ankle in 3 different places-requiring surgery… still recovering and relearning to walk on my R ankle…
@curmudgeinnak I always look forward to Timmy's videos too... such a kind and interesting character and ambassador for Alaska! We love all seasons activities and knowing about the lifestyles of folks from other places here in Atlantic Canada 🇨🇦
@@RebekahTOUCHEDBYYARN Nope. we have a few hooks and stuff in that area that we used for drying hats, gloves and jackets. If the house had not been here we would of been very content to spend the rest of our lives in that little cabin.
Rob - thank you so much for the cabin tour. I follow another youtuber from Lake Alworth and the scenery she shares is beautiful...that is how I found you guys. I really look forward to going back and watching your other videos. One question, what is the reason that you have curtains instead of doors on the cabinets under the sink? Thanks again for the beautiful tour...p.s. - if your mom made that quilt on the bed, tell her it is absolutely gorgeous. Sending lots of love from the mountains of western Maryland ❤
In the cabin the curtain allows the warmth of the fire to keep the pipes from freezing and it was what was in the cabin when we got here. The main house that we live in I did it like that with the burlap material keep it covered until I get a chance to mill a lot of wood to build doors. It was a cheap easy way to keep the dogs from sticking noses in things. :-). I will let mom know you said that. :-). Have an amazing weekend.
We are always outside in summer and all the commotion tends to keep the bears away. They are pretty shy critters. In all the years that this property has been established no bear has left it's mark on the buildings. In the bush of Alaska everyone is always armed.

Never Met Jim but we have chatted with Nancy. She is a spit fire.

Planted one back as well. Nice Channel. I will check it out more very soon. Still learning about prospecting up here.

@@curmudgeinnak I'm glad to hear she is still alive!
Heck yeah Rob that is real nice place.
What a beautiful cabin
Thank you Tony. The property has been amazing to transform into what Sarah and I want. This cabin is just the start. So many projects. lol
Posh indeed! The cabin is nicely done and decorated. I think anybody looking to have an out of the way stay in Alaska would love to stay there. Thanks for sharing, Rob. 😊
Thank you Alone. We are glad you like it. It is yours to use when ever you are ready to come out this way.
Oh I wish my health was better I’d be up as it’s pretty cool I watched Jim and Nancy on the show. Good Luck and I love what your doing with the cups
I wish you could as well Scott. I will be in touch soon my friend.
The cabin looks super cosy.
The cabin looks GREAT! The little mug purse is adorable!
Thank you Dawn. 🙂 We hope you are doing well.
You looked so small waiting for that train to stop!
looks nice 😊
It is my dream to visit Alaska, and go fishing! I'm not getting any younger.

How much???
we still have stations in indiana and chicago where you have to push a button at the shelter to get the train to stop. that or you better be waving on the platform at the conductor.
Cool. I did not know that.
Looks great I like it all and you’ve done things so nicely, I like it all ❤I like that it’s accessible by train only❤
Oh my. I've got to come and stay. Perhaps next June.
Let us know.

good Idea. I think I still have a vintage fly rod someplace.
@@curmudgeinnak or you could get some cheap sets (rods and reels for kids) at the big box stores. 💕🌞🌵😷
Beautiful cabins.
Glad you like them! They are coming along very nice. Hope you are doing well.
@@curmudgeinnak I am doing well. The idea of a remote cabin to show folks how to live in a remote cabin is a great idea.

Very nice cabin. I'm watching this the end of September 2024 have you had Very many people rent the cabin?
Thank you for watching. It is an amazing place to live.
Impressed❤
Thank you and welcome.
Great dear
This looks like a vacay plan! Greetings from Austria ❤
:-). We hope people will want to vacay here.

Glad you like it!
I love it!
Glad you do.
Glorious ❣️ A lot like my home...just i have a TON of books and art stuff. Could live there quite happily 🤣❤️🇿🇦
That is how we see it too. :-). Thank you for watching.

Thank you we think the same.
Was the old couple I think the man accidentally shot his hand, I think I saw them Alaskan railway a show in the uk
yes that would be Jim and Nancy.
@@curmudgeinnak thank you for replying,that was on uk tv years ago, I amazed I remember he was a funny individual
Great looking cabin. May be someday!
You should!

Thank you. We enjoyed living in it our first winter up here. It is very comfy.
Absolutely Stunning 😮😊
The tree has issues and is rotting on the back side. It happens to a lot that are close to the water.

Thank you Jan. How are you doping?
@@curmudgeinnak doing great
The one question I have is how close is that stovepipe to the brace that is on the wall?
About 18" and it is double walled pipe on the lower and then goes into the SS double wall insulated pipe.
@@curmudgeinnak thank you it looked like it was right up against it in the way that the camera was showing

I will have to ask my mother again as she is the maker. Drop me an email and I will let you know as soon as I find out.

We thought people would want to do something like this that is why we decided to rent it.
@@curmudgeinnak
Good to know, especially if I can save up enough money for the trip from Northern Michigan…
Where did Nancy go ? I really like the show railroad Alaska and the people on it sad about Jim
Nancy lives in the lower states and is doing good. We talk to her every few months. She is an amazing woman.
@@curmudgeinnak thank you for the answer and yes she is an amazing woman
Idea: A sauna to avoid using the winter time water supply.
@@rqstaffan trying to convince Sarah of that as we speak lol
Does the little cabin have a refrigerator or some other way to keep food? 💕🌞🌵😷
Yes it does! We have a small cooler style refrigerator and a 7cf one for guest to use.
@@curmudgeinnak great! I didn't see them in the photos. Where do I contact you for rental info? 💕🌞🌵😷
Is there good fishing close to your cabin?
We have heard the lake holds some nice trout and salmon.
How much to rent
Send us an email to discuss prices of the rental
Where is this cabin in relation to your cabin home??
40 yards away.
It's such a nice cabin! the little bag and the mug are so cute. How can one get that?
I have a limit on the mugs but the bags my mom makes and we sell for her. I need to get more mugs made up.
do you rent the doggies out too?
Mishka is the cuddly one. Everyone loves her. Zeus loves people but not attention. So maybe Mishka is rentable. I will ask her about her rates. lol
People who come up need to bring their own food, and cook ?
They have that option yes. It would be almost impossible to get my kitchen inspected to get a certification from the state.
Do the animals ever try to come into your cabin through thw windows? Do you carry a gun with you at all times?
We are always outside in summer and all the commotion tends to keep the bears away. They are pretty shy critters. In all the years that this property has been established no bear has left it's mark on the buildings. In the bush of Alaska everyone is always armed.
😮😮 this is Freedom 🌲🌲🌲🛖🔥🇺🇸💯
