Awe-inspiring views on our 620 acre Kilcher Family Homestead : rolling meadows, ocean, glaciers and mountains. Your accommodation is a two story log cabin built by our Swiss immigrant parents.

We are a working farm, so you’ll see some of us and our workers come and go, and during the day we sometimes host tours next door to your property at our original sod roofed family homestead cabin.

Learn of the pioneering family history, the Alaska the Last Frontier show origins, etc as part of our tours for fans of the famous TV show.

About the host

Hosted by Kelli Kilcher

Host profile image
This is the beautiful original Kilcher Homestead, featured on the Discovery TV show Alaska: The Last Frontier. We enjoy sharing the wonder of this land and this lifestyle with others. It is a truly peaceful experience to stay here, hang out or stroll through the meadows to our beach, which is private for miles and miles.

Why they chose this property

Our parents left this property to us children in a Trust so it would never become developed and remain in its natural setting for many generations to come, so people like you could come and experience the transformative value of immersing in Nature’s beauty.
We still have a working farm on the property and plan to develop into a place of learning and sharing the knowledge of homestead living, crafts and arts.

What makes this property unique

Everyone who comes to visit feels the special quality of this land - serene and transformative.
And if you’re a fan of Alaska the Last Frontier, this is a “must-stay” for an immersive memorable experience.
