Railroad Retreat in Moose Pass – The Gandy Dancer

Step back in time at this lovingly restored 1930s home near Trail Lake in downtown Moose Pass. Once home to the publisher of the Moose Pass Miner, the original Reed’s Jewelry Store, and later an unofficial section house for Alaska Railroad employees, this modern farmhouse blends vintage charm with family-friendly comfort. With 2 king bedrooms, a cozy loft, and mountain views, it’s the perfect base for your Alaska adventure.

What a fantastic VRBO. The pictures and the write-up don’t do it justice. Everything is as described, and the care and attention that has been put into it is amazing. Highly highly recommend.

This house is by far the most modern and nicest house in moose pass!! We loved it!! The only thing that we would want different if we came back would be that we didn't have to take the garbage with us But overall this house was epic!!

Beds were very comfortable and rooms were spacious. Kitchen is clean and well supplied to cook at the property. Coffee shops nearby, restaurants are further out. Entire property is well maintained and complete with everyday amenities.
