We loved this beautifully decorated cabin with tons of natural light. It’s very conveniently located for everything we wanted to see on the peninsula, and very comfortably accommodated all 8 of us. Gorgeous views, and excellent value over and above the cost. Both the owner and Evolve were incredibly kind and accommodating with our scheduling issue and worked with us to add an extra day!

Fantastic home and location. It gave all the feelings of being home in the wilderness of Alaska. The house was spotless and exactly as described. We could see abundant wildlife, including a cow moose and calf, feet from the window. The highlight was the beautiful back porch. We will definitely rebook and advise anyone traveling to the area to book this home.

Perfect for our family!

This property was just what we needed! The location was great (central for day trips to Homer, Whittier, Soldotna, Cooper's Landing and Seward). We loved coming back in the evening and grilling. We spent most of our time at the house enjoying the deck and talking about the day on the porch swing. It was very clean and comfortable. Appreciated that it had laundry, 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. The kids (ages 20 to 11) absolutely loved it and want to know when we are coming back! Host was great also!

This place was a wonderful stay for all of us! Very accommodating with all the necessary utensils, cookware, spices, toiletries and games to enjoy family with. My Husband and I traveled with my Sister, Brother in Law, Friend, to visit our daughter who is stationed at JBER in Anchorage. This place was in such a great area, especially for Salmon fishing with Jake @ Gotta Fish Charters. Highly recommend anyone staying here, the owners and host are very responsive to everything! Thanks for the great stay!

Wonderful space. We had two couples so there was far more than enough space in bedrooms and baths. Convenient laundry was appreciated. Good cookware and utensils.Great back deck and 2nd deck from upstairs bedroom. Both were great for viewing our moose visitors, including nursing calves. Plus we saw eagles out there, river otters and more. Bear spray and bear bell were provided but we saw no sign of bear.Host was totally helpful and accommodating.I would strongly recommend, and gladly go back there.
