About this property

Centrally Located Private Chalet with amazing views! Bonus: Hot Tub

Three chalets: The Steller Jay chalet is calendered and booked here. The Wild Rose chalet at VRBO 150525; the Eagles Aerie chalet at VRBO 462399

The three chalets are each private and secluded on five acres of hillside among spruce, hemlock, birch and willow trees over-looking Trail Lake in the CHUGACH NATIONAL FOREST. Each has it's own hot tub, high speed internet, an amazing view.

CENTRALLY LOCATED in the middle of all there is to do on the KENAI PENINSULA:
15 minutes to Cooper Landing; 30 to Seward; 1 hour to Whittier, Prince William Sound, Alyeska, and Soldotna & the Lower Kenai; 2.5 hours to Homer; and 90 minutes from Anchorage.

Relax surrounded by snow-capped mountains, overlooking turquoise-colored Trail Lake.

The world-famous KENAI & RUSSIAN Rivers are just minutes away - world class fishing for salmon and trout, or rafting and bear viewing.

KENAI FJORDS NATIONAL PARK, EXIT GLACIER & HARDING ICEFIELD, and saltwater fishing on Resurrection Bay are also only minutes away.

Superb HIKING/mountain BIKING trails through lush forests to alpine meadows blanketed with wildflowers beside crystal clear snow-melt streams, waterfalls, ponds and lakes surrounded by glaciated mountain majesty are minutes away.

Our beautifully appointed, comforts-of-home-and-then-some chalet is your ideal home base for adventures on the Kenai Peninsula.

THE PERFECT WINTER RETREAT

SNOWMOBILING, Nordic and Alpine SKIING and BOARDING just out the door for your daytime adventures in the world famous Chugach Mountains back-country.

Relax watching the sunrise and alpenglow paint the mountains the full palate of Alaskan winter colors.

Soothe your winter aches in the HOT TUB under a dazzling star-lit sky- and if you're lucky, catch the NORTHERN LIGHTS. The hot tub is the best place to catch seasonal meteor showers and the aurora away from city lights.

The views of the lake and surrounding mountains from the Chalet are amazing! Hot tub was great for seeing views and relaxing after outdoor excursions. Host was kind and welcoming, and provided helpful suggestions on activities nearby and fishing. Overall, we had a memorable experience visiting the Kenai Peninsula, and would stay here again if ever back.

What a fantastic place. Well equipped - we made several meals there. The view was amazing. The hot tub was clean and we appreciated the rules around it to keep it sanitized. Dark curtains helped with the summer sun. Nice drive into Seward and Kenai. Overall definitely recommended.

I would stay here again

Everything you could want in a vacation rental. Beautiful lakeside mountain view, privacy, responsive host, homemade breakfast surprising us on our arrival, canoes available for stunning paddling, plenty of nearby hiking, short drive to Seward. We loved our stay and hope to return in the future!

Thanks for styaing with us and glad you enjoyed your stay. The Eastern Kenai Peninsula is REALLY the BEST of Alaska - and The Spruce Moose is an incomparable place to wake up to in the morning, adventure from during the day, and return to at night to relax in the loooong summer evenings, surrounded by incredible mountian and lake views. Come back soon! (Oh, and winter is great too! Think: aurora from the hot tub!)

Great place to stay. Fully equipt!

we had a wonderful stay for Christmas. It was even decorated with carols playing when we arrived. So warm and cozy and plenty of things to do outside. Only downside is that its pretty expensive after you add up all the fees and taxes.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar 2020
Glad you had a good time! Unfortunately, this may be the last winter we are open. Our winter rates avg 50% lower than summer, but we have much fewer rental days and the operational costs are higher. VRBO has now added a 4-9% fee to the renter to use their site and it's cut into our already slim winter margin, and bookings thru their site are down. We are in the hole this winter for the first time in 8 years. Folks that stay with us love the place in winter, but unless we can find more interest, it will not make sense to stay open.
