Lifelong Alaskan residents, Ray and Riska Cruse have created a business that offers an off the grid cabin to unwind and enjoy the solitude of nature. The starting point begins with a thirty minute flight from Willow or Talkeetna to Dog Leg Lake near Skwentna. The idea to start this type of business came when they had houseguests who did not want to leave the peaceful setting of their home tucked away in the woods. They decided to find a remote cabin, fix it up, and offer it to guests for a week at a time.

KTNA’s Katie Writer spoke with Alaska Bush Cabin Experience owners, Ray and Riska Cruse, about their new business.
