Perfect Alaskan Adventure/Family Stay

We had such a great time staying at Linda & Perry’s cabin! Their home is impeccably decorated and had a ton of amenities (fish freezer, fire pit, etc.) that made it a perfect place to enjoy an Alaskan summer. There was even a neighborhood fishing spot down the road that we could enjoy! We definitely recommending staying here and are looking forward to our next visit!

Sterling AK-Moose Crossing Lodge

This is a lovely place to stay. The cabin was spotless with ALL the comforts of home. We didn't need to buy or ask for anything. It is located in a quiet, wooded area but covenient to other areas of interest on the Kenai peninsula. The owners go above and beyond to make your visit a pleasurable one. Definitely recommend staying at the Moose Crossing Lodge.

Paradise in Alaska

Moose crossing lodge was everything we hoped for and more. Perry and Linda thought of every detail and were such gracious hosts. There is a public access beach to the Kenai River within waking distance and a public boat launch just down the street. The new Three Bears Grocery less than 2 miles away made coming out own meals convenient. We would recommend this vacation rental to others without hesitation.

Wonderful Experience

Just an absolutely wonderfully redone home and even better hosts! Everything about this stay exceeded our expectations. Perry and Linda met us on arrival, gave us a tour of the home, and were available throughout our stay to answer any and all questions about the local area. They were so friendly and even gave our three small children a tour of the garden as we packed up. We will be return guests for sure!

Perfect place in Sterling

We had a great time! Property was spotless clean. Full kitchen with all utensils was a great plus that we used every day. Huge shower with awesome water pressure. Hosts gifted homemade sourdough bread and raspberry preserves, which didn't last long. All in all, can't say a single negative about the Property. Already planning for a stay next year!

Ideal location and a great stay

We had a great time staying at the Moose Crossing Lodge. It was perfect for our family and located in a great spot for enjoying the Kenai Peninsula. The cabin is new and clean and had plenty of room for our family of 5. We enjoyed playing corn hole, making a fire, and riding bikes around the property. It was easy to explore Seward and Homer, hike trails at Cooper Landing, and fish on the Kenai River. Soldotna is close for supplies and groceries, but the cabin provides a quiet and secluded location. Perry and Linda were great hosts and available for anything we needed. We highly recommend!

Awesome visit - Thank you!

Awesome place for exploring and fishing the Kenai! The cabin was very well equipped and it worked out perfect for our group of four fishermen. The fish freezer is large enough to humble the average team (filled less than half of it with 240 lbs of fish) and the lockable outdoor storage area for wet waders/gear was fantastic each night. Perry was a super host! Thank you for everything and we wish you and your family the absolute best!

‘OUTSTANDING”

First thing I must say is that Perry & Linda the owners have put together a perfect place to stay while in Alaska. The cabin was clean & comfortable with all the amenities you could ask for. After arriving at the cabin that evening, Perry and Linda presented us with a loaf of home made bread, still warm, and some home made jelly, both were out of this world!!! Perry provides an outside storage area that accommodates fishing guess well. Our overall experience was Outstanding. Would definitely stay again! Thank You Perry & Linda….

Cozy & Relaxing Alaskan Retreat

This is a new and beautiful cabin in a quiet neighborhood. Perry and Linda are wonderful hosts and their neighbors are friendly and a joy to talk with as well. Linda surprised us with a loaf of fresh baked bread and some homemade jam, delicious! The cabin is small but perfect for 4-5 people. We took full advantage of the beautiful weather and utilized the charcoal grill for outdoor dinners and drinks by the firepit to winddown each night. The cabin is super clean and has almost everything you might need. Washer and dryer are not included but the laundromat is right down the street if you have a longer stay and need to do laundry. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for everything Perry and Linda!

Wonderful!

Perry and Linda are wonderful hosts! They thought of every detail for comfort and convenience. We were greeted with warm bread and homemade jam which was such a treat! The cabin is well equipped for cooking. The beds are comfortable. We really enjoyed the large shower with on demand hot water! The extra shed with storage for fishing equipment and the giant freezer was greatly appreciated as well! The location of the cabin was also perfect. It has the country feel but close to town and popular fishing spots. Perry and Linda gave us great suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area. Overall, a wonderful place to stay! Thank you Perry and Linda for your thoughtfulness and generosity! You are wonderful hosts! We hope to visit Alaska again soon!

Whatt’a Gem…property and owners!!!!

We just landed and I wanted to briefly capture the trip for those looking at properties and give a review. First off, five stars all day long on the owners/managers. There were great special touches they did throughout our trip… homemade bread after we got settled in… which was delicious and a treat for us, fresh sockeye… since we having some troubles landing one lol, advice on anything… from fishing locations, places to get your laundry done etc. They live on the property, but are not intrusive in any way. As far as the cabin goes, it’s new and very well decorated, well stocked with cookware, there’s a charcoal fire place, an outdoor fire pit, a great kitchen. It was all around a great place and experience. For the price and the experience, location etc… this will be a place we return to. Tim

About the host

Hosted by Perry & Linda Hershberger

Host profile image
My wife and I, purchased this property and have made Alaska our home in 2020. Our property has a small log cabin that we live in and our guest house which we have renovated to accommodate guests in 2021. We have called our guest house Moose Crossing Lodge because in the short time the we have owned our property, we have had many moose visit our property. We have had several occasions that a mother moose has come through the property with her calf or calves tagging behind. We are originally from the Buckeye State (Ohio) and have come to call Alaska our home because we have found the beauty in this place and have found the fishing to be outstanding.

Why they chose this property

We believe that you will find this property to be located in a part of Alaska that you can access so many different adventures that Alaska has to offer. If you love the outdoors and are looking for a real Alaskan experience, Moose Crossing Lodge is the place for you.

What makes this property unique

Bings Landing is a well known fishing spot for the sport fisherman and our property is in walking distance to the Kenai River and Bings Landing.
