As seasoned RVer's with over 45,000 miles under our tires traveling all over North America we have done everything we can think of for our RV parking area to make your stay enjoyable. In fact, this space was our home where we ourselves lived in our motorhome while we built our house in 2021. It is purposely located away from our house to offer you the privacy and tranquility you desire. Feel free to use the fire pit in the evenings to roast hot dogs or make s'mores or just sit outside and relax during your stay. While here if you have any questions regarding RVing in Alaska please feel free to ask away as we run the very popular FB group "RVing to Alaska - the Original" as well as have a YouTube channel educating on everything RV related and Alaska (@RVingtoAlaska). We are here to help you in any way to make your trip to Alaska a memorable one. (Please note we can only accept stays when we plan to be home. As you can imagine Alaska has a short summer and like everyone else we like to get out and explore and play in our great State in both our RV and our boat. Our RVing to Alaska business is also tourist related and that will sometimes take us away on short notice. We will try our best to accept stay requests but please understand if we decline a request its because something else is already planned or we have friends and family visiting. ) Houston is located 18 miles north of Wasilla, 11 miles south of Willow, and 57 road miles north of Anchorage. Most businesses including groceries and supplies can be found back in Wasilla however in our little town of Houston we do have a Three Bears convenience store that is big rig friendly with fuel, rv dump and propane available. If you have a sweet tooth stop in across the street for the best ice cream in the Valley at Millers Market. Just look for the giant ice cream cone out front. The line out the door proves how much their ice cream is loved and is a must stop for visitor or local alike. If you are looking for a place to easily stay and visit the Hatcher Pass area or want to fish the Little Susitna, or just be out of town for some peace and quiet our Houston Hideaway is the place for you. Our property is located in a small quiet neighborhood a mile off of the Parks Highway nestled among the willows and birch trees. Just watch out for the local moose when traveling our small roads as they are king of the road so please go slow.
