Amazing house with beautiful views

Dawn and Mark are absolutely amazing! They are such nice hosts. The house itself is very nice, a lot of detailed designs. The house is also super clean, all the towels, bed sheets are more clean than any hotels. The only thing that needs to be noted is there is no Wi-Fi and the phone signal is very bad. We actually enjoyed it however, for some people it might be a downside. Overall, highly recommended.

Kenai Lake heaven

This property is so amazing. We showed up early evening and there were accent lights on throughout the home, so welcoming. A gift basket with snacks/wine. The homes pics dont do it justice, very clean, everything including windows were spotless inside and out which was amazing as the view to the lake was breath taking. And need to also mention how wonderful the mattress/pillows/towels were. Mark and Dawn definitely know how to pamper people. Hope to someday make it back as we would not consider staying anywhere else. Lovely folks, and the going away scones....to die for!!

A slice of heaven

We stayed at Edelweiss house 4 days/3 nights and wish we could have stayed twice as long. The lake views and forest are like a postcard. The house was warm, inviting and the hosts had many special touches to make our stay absolutely perfect. This is a treasure!

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Dawn

Both Mark and Dawn grew up near Chicago, somewhere between farm fields, Lincoln historical sites, the Chicago Symphony, and Fermilab. Mark moved to this area of Alaska with his family almost 50 years ago, thrilled to leave the city behind. Mark's father emigrated to America from Switzerland as a young man (hence the Swiss connection and Edelweiss name) and ventured to Alaska in 1973 with his family to make it home. Mark and Dawn have been married for 35 years, and have two grown children who work with us in our printing/graphic design business. We thrive on enjoying boating and fishing, hiking, mushrooming, berry picking, hunting, 4-wheelers, snow machines, x-country skiing... as well as being lovers of local fare, a perfect cup of espresso, and sitting at evening fires by the lake!

Why they chose this property

You're within a few minutes of wonderful hiking trails: Victor Creek, Lost Lake, Vagt Lake, Grayling Lake, Johnson Pass, Ptarmigan Lake, to name a few. You're in the middle of all the great fishing grounds. You're surrounded by mountains and trees and amazing fresh air, birds, and the unique glacial blue color of Kenai Lake. You're on the road system, so can be in Anchorage in 2 hours, or in Seward in a 25-minute drive, or in Cooper Landing in a 25-minute drive. And you're on multiple acres of private, wooded forest where you can stroll on our own trails or sit in peace and quiet.

What makes this property unique

This property is historic, the original homestead of Alaska's first registered hunting guide, Andy Simons. There is a mountain nearby named after him. When the lake level is lower in the spring and fall, you can see the foundation of his cabin destroyed in the 1964 earthquake, and remnants of his home sometimes appear... we've found lots of "useless treasures" over the years!
