Overview
Riverfront, Authentic, Luxury Log Cabin-Bison is a newly constructed custom log home in Houston, Alaska, designed to feel like a rustic “treehouse” while delivering a luxury-cabin experience. Set near the Little Susitna River (about a 150-foot walk from the backyard), it’s positioned for nature-focused stays and easy day-trip access via the Parks Highway.
Cabin layout & sleep setup
The cabin sleeps up to 6 guests with 1 king bed (with a memory foam mattress), 2 twin beds, and a queen sleeper sofa. Interiors feature 17-foot cathedral ceilings, leather and antique furniture, crisp linens, blackout curtains, and keyless entry.

Outdoor recreation & surroundings
Guests have direct access to river scenery and seasonal activities, including fishing in summer (king salmon catch-and-release; silver salmon may be kept), plus nearby options for hiking, biking, and exploring Hatcher Pass.
