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!

A little piece of paradise
We had an amazing stay at this fabulous home. The home was well stocked and clean. I would advise portable fans or opening some windows as the rooms were a bit warm. The home isn’t far from a road but the traffic noise wasn’t bad and the views more than made up for it. We enjoyed watching ducks fight the rivers current and salmon jumping. Over all it was such a relaxing stay and a place that we’d love to visit again.

Beautiful Log Home on the river
This is a beautiful log home with views of the river from the main floor kitchen, great room and master bedroom. Very spacious and homey feel. The 2 bedrooms upstairs are not as big with no views and felt a little closed off. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend and would stay at this property again.

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.

Perfect Spot!
We were so happy with this choice we made of staying at this property. After being on a cruise ship with a ton of people to sit and relax in peaceful & beautiful surroundings was perfect. The house had everything and the beds were comfortable. Easy drive from Seward. There was plenty of room for us all to enjoy ourselves and plenty of toys and games to use. Would totally stay here again if in this area.

Awesome Alaska Vacation
The house was awesome. For us it was a great location, on the side of the river and close to Mosse Pass and a relatively short and beautiful drive to Seward. Awesome yard, fishing poles and games provided. Kitchen was stocked. Plenty of space in the house to congregate.

WOW
I was showing my friends the pictures of this place before our trip and it’s even more impressive in person. VRBO needs to add another star to their ratings just for this one. Comfortable beds, super clean, stocked with everything you might need, wonderful host, and the view. Would gladly have stayed longer if I could.

Seward visit
The house , location and the owner were amazing. The home had everything we needed and more including seeing wildlife out the window daily. If we could do it again we would have shopped in anchorage and only went in to Seward for activities and stayed in the house more due to the prices in Seward. Amazing place

Great Home
Todd was great! The home was everything it was advertised. There are plenty of sleeping quarters. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking items. The location is great. Located about 30 miles from Seward. Just north of Kenai lake. When we come back, I’ll definitely be looking to stay in this house again!
