About this property

Centrally located private chalet w/ Hot Tub and amazing views!

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.

Fabulous scenery and location
Our cruise was cancelled so we flew into Anchorage and booked this home. Gary met us at the door and showed us around. The house was perfect and beautiful. It was about 1 1/2 hrs from Anchorage and 1 hr from Seward. We were able to see sites in Seward and in the area. We would have loved to stay longer but we had other commitments. The views of the lake and mountains are breathtaking. Gary was very nice and visited a few times as we were leaving. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves coming to the area.

Amazing Views
The views from the house and hot tub were amazing! We enjoyed our stay at this house and the fact that it was stocked with all the essentials we needed for the 4 days. Our fishing trip in Holmer was cancelled due to the weather and the owner responded to my text immediately and assisted with finding us a guide to go out fishing! The wifi at the house was intermittent at times. Overall great stay and we were pleased with the owners quick responses to questions!

Perfect location
It was the perfect location on the Kenai Peninsula with lots of activities less than an hour away in each direction. The chalets are close enough to be convenient if you had a big enough group and wanted to occupy multiple units. However, they are spread out enough that we only knew other units were occupied when we saw another car. Gary, the owner, was easy to communicate with and gave us a thorough walkthrough when we arrived. The furniture was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked including nonstick pans and sharp knives, which are frequently missing from other rentals. Perhaps most importantly in an Alaskan summer, the bedrooms had blackout curtains. I thought this would be standard in Alaska, but our next rental house near Fairbanks did not have them. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Alaska.

Home away from home
It’s rare to be personally met and checked in by a property manager in this no contact digital era however Gary was very welcoming and friendly, lives on the property and was quick to respond to any text. The house itself was very comfortable for our group of 6. Each couple had their own bedroom, comfortable bed and room darkening shades. The kitchen was more then adequately stocked and the downstairs bathroom has a heated tile floor which was a nice surprise! The views from the large windows from the second floor main living space were amazing, as was the hot tub!! Laundry provided along with laundry pods and dishwasher detergent and other supplies. We enjoyed our stay very much, nice location between Anchorage and Seward and a couple hours drive to Homer. Would highly recommend the scenic flight tours right down the road with Brad on a float plane that’s located right on Trail Lake (view from the house). Gary provided us fishing poles and box to try out some fishing on Russian Lake. Would highly recommend staying here, feels very remote and quiet.

Great location, great view!
The view from the deck was fantastic! The inside of the cabin was immaculate and contained much more in the way of pantry staples than any other house I have rented. The beds were comfortable and the furnishings were appropriate but not overdone. I wish there were clocks and blackout blinds in the bedrooms, though, as we are not used to the continuous daylight. Overall a fantastic stay.

Great spot for a group getaway!
Friends and dogs spent 4 nights--the house has plenty of room to spread out with a comfortable living room and kitchen for hanging out. The hot tub is AMAZING with views of the lake and mountains. The property is easy to access but feels secluded. The property manager communicated regularly and took care of any issues very quickly.
