About this property

Real Alaskan Riverfront Log home

Spacious 3500 square foot 3 bedroom 3 1/2 bath Log home was hand built by the owner from logs harvested in the immediate area.

Live like an Alaskan while you vacation with all the comforts of home. The home features a large fully equipped kitchen, huge living room with vaulted ceiling and a stone fireplace plus a wonderful view of Trail River and the surrounding mountains out the windows. Satellite TV, DVD player as well as WI-FI.

The three bedrooms each have an en-suite private bath. The home can sleep up to 9.

Sit on the porch and enjoy your morning coffee or prepare a meal on the grill. In the evening start a fire in the fire pit located a few feet from the river and recap your adventures of the day. Bring your pole and fish right from the yard. Covered carport so you won't get wet coming or going if it happens to rain.

Situated smack dab in the middle of all the action. 5 minutes from Moose Pass, 20 minutes to Seward and Resurrection Bay, 30 minutes from Cooper Landing and the world class fisheries on the Kenai and Russian Rivers, 45 minutes from the historic mining town of Hope. 1 1/2 hour from Anchorage and Soldotna/Kenai.

Plenty of things to do for everyone!

Such a nice host and an amazing property!!! Todd built the cabin himself and did an incredible job of it. Felt like we were walking into the "Yellowstone" cabin. Just a short trip to Seward and the views can't be beat!!!

Wonderful cabin!

We very much enjoyed our time at this cabin! Our family of 7 had plenty of space for all our stuff. The outside space is lovely and has a great view. Todd was very easy to communicate with. Would absolutely stay here again if we were ever in the area.

Beautiful property! The house was set up great for us. Large area downstairs to accommodate all of us for cooking and playing games. Todd was a great host and very responsive! He even helped me with a tire problem. Really liked talking to him and hearing about the history of the place. Hopefully I’ll stay again someday!

Todd built and has maintained this lovely log cabin that is immediately adjacent to a great river. My group enjoyed fishing every morning and evening and were very successful with fly rods and spinning set ups (rainbows and dolly varden). The kitchen is well stocked, beds comfortable and the whole place quite spacious. We used the BBQ, made a fire in the evenings and generally enjoyed everything about our visit. Todd was very friendly and checked that everything was OK, which we appreciated. We look forward to returning!

Feels like Alaska

We loved the log cabin. It’s gorgeous and fun and the location worked out great for our group. We loved to fire pit by the river. We slept great in the cozy bedrooms. It was exactly what we were looking for on our first trip to Alaska.

Amazing family vacation

House was perfect for our family of 9. Plenty of space of bedrooms and bathrooms. Location was great. Plenty of kitchen utensils, dishes, pans, etc. Pool table could use a little tlc and in a tight space. A little road noise from traffic when outside, but didn’t bother us. Outdoors seating and fire pit was great for relaxing with a fire, few drinks, evening book reading. Caught a few fish in river next to house. Todd was great host to work with. Definitely recommend and would return.

Great Family Place

This was such a great place to stay for our family. The craftsmanship of the home is top notch and it's location along the river offers incredible views. We chose this cabin because it's somewhat central on the Peninsula - 30-45min to Seward, 1:15 to Kenai and close to a lot of hiking. Highly recommend as we are talking about when we can go back!
