Some light weight fishing tackle is provided for those fishing enthusiasts, as they can walk right out the door and wet a line, (Fishing opens June 11th). You may catch a Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden or even the occasional Grayling. In mid-August, the red salmon are here and spawning, they are beautiful and quite a sight to see!
If you are looking for a more adventurous day of fishing, my son Jared, is a registered fishing guide and would be happy to accommodate you.

Moose Pass is a beautiful little town, surrounded by mountains, lakes, and streams with hiking trails abounding. The opportunities to enjoy nature and all that it offers are endless. We live here because it is Alaska at its Best!
Last but not least, it's a beautiful 30 minute drive to the port town of Seward with The Kenai Fjords, Exit Glacier, the Alaska Sealife Center, Shopping and much more or Cooper Landing and its world famous Russian River Red Salmon fishing. Although Homer is a few hours away and may be a bit of a drive, with an early morning start it can be your adventure for the day. Relax, Settle in and Make this your "Home Away From Home".

Great Private Gem by the River

We loved our stay here, we were a family of 4 (spouses and two 15 year olds) plenty of space to sleep. Very private yard right on the river or pond as they call it. They also supply fishing poles and lures for fishing and allowed us to cross their yard to the big running river! They also supplied coffee and milk, along with fresh fruit and a baked good which was delicious!! The only complaint is you can here traffic when you sit outside on the deck as they are on the main road, but it is worth the bit of noise for everything else. Highly recommend staying here!

In the heart of the KP

Quiet and serene location. Occasional sounds of the Alaska railroad makes for uniqueness. Quick drives to Seward for fishing and Glacier tours. Lots of good fishing charters too. Many hiking opportunities. Hosts were the best and left us to ourselves. We were exploring most days and were glade to have quiet and comfortable evenings.

Peaceful and beautiful

I had a great stay at Julie’s cozy, well-appointed garage apartment. I am a solo traveler and this set-up was perfect. The way the apartment was situated I had complete privacy. But Julie lived steps away! Even though it rained most days I walked down to the creek as often as I could to watch the salmon spawn in the river adjacent to the property. Nearby Moose Pass is a darling village with the added bonus of being able to watch the float planes take off and land. Seward is just 30 minutes away but this property is secluded and tranquil. Comfy bed; strong, hot water in the shower, toilet flushes well, and safe with a lovely, congenial host!

Fabulous location and great hosts!

This was such a great location for the three days we would spend on the Kenai Peninsula. A central spot that made it easy to get to Seward, Exit Glacier, Russian River, Cooper Landing, and even Kenai and Homer. The owner Julie did such a great job of making us feel welcome and helping out with every request we had, from well before the trip and during the trip. Even gave us pointers on some road closures that could have really delayed us. Being first time visitors to Alaska it was great to have a welcoming and helpful host!

Gorgeous place on the river!

My son and I stayed at Julie's place while we were in Seward for three days. It's a beautiful property right on the river. The apartment is very comfortable with everything we needed. She even provided fishing gear for my son to fish and was able to provide recommendations and was so communicative.

Stay near Seward, AK

This was a perfect cozy spot about 20-30 minutes north of Seward! Julie was a fantastic host and made sure we had everything we needed and gave us great tips for our travels. The backyard is so nice and we got to see the friendly owl in its house. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Great location and great hospitality

We enjoyed our stay and would gladly return. Julie and her husband, Gary, were so gracious and supportive. She greets you in person to show you everything plus she has fresh-baked cinnamon rolls and fruit waiting for you on the table. We also took advantage of their son Jared’s guide service to fish for Sockeye Salmon and had a blast. We didn’t get a chance to use backyard but it would be a nice area to retreat if time had permitted. Special thanks to Julie. We would stay there again if in Moose Pass/Seward again.

Cozy cabin

This was a quaint little cabin about half hour from Seward. When we arrived there was a plate with rolls and another with fruit. They provided everything beyond expectations including coffee, hot chocolate, and tea. Julie walked over shortly after we arrived to see if we needed anything or had any questions. I would highly recommend staying there. It was perfect for my husband and I and our two adult children. There is a king bed, Murphy bed, and hide a bed that we utilized. We also used the washer and dryer after a rainy hike.
