Alaskan Homestead Cabin Featured on Discovery & History Channel

Nestled in the heart of the Chugach Mountains, this Alaskan homestead boasts tranquility, breathtaking scenery, and is located minutes away from some of the finest hiking trails Alaska has to offer and only fifteen minutes from downtown Anchorage. Built in 1952, this family owned property has been recently remodeled and updated with modern appliances. The homestead comes fully furnished and offers visitors an authentic taste of the Last Frontier- Alaskan handcrafted artwork, local wildlife & fish mounts, and vintage photographs from a simpler time.

Guests are encouraged to wander the 3.5 acre lot, fire-up the outdoor grill, and search the Eagle River valley for Dall sheep, moose, bears (brown and black), and eagles. Adventurers and photographers alike will enjoy the close proximity to Chugach State Park, the Eagle River Nature Center, and glacially fed Eagle River. After a day of adventuring, guests can finish off their day with a log fire, glass of wine, and favorite television show (DVD player and cable provided).

Venture down to Chugach State Park to explore the half-million acres of rugged, unspoiled terrain that provides endless recreational opportunities year-round. Whether you prefer frontcountry trails, backcountry bushwhacking, or exploring the Eagle River Nature Center, this property has all the amenities and activities you could hope for!

My Favorite Cabin
This was absolutely the best cabin my wife and I stayed at during our honeymoon in Alaska. It was very cozy and welcoming, and we enjoyed the ability to watch a movie in the incredible living room before bed. The property felt very private and made us feel like we had our own little piece of Alaska for a night. Wish we stayed longer.

Perfect spot in Eagle River!
Loved, loved, loved the cabin. Beautiful view and was equipped for all of our needs. The location is quiet and provides easy access to the Chugach State Park's interpretive center. Close to Eagle River and Anchorage which came in handy for attending UAA graduation ceremonies. The moose sighting was a bonus!

Fabulous place to stay in Alaska!
We so enjoyed staying at this property! We could enjoy nature and the mountains at the cabin and ever place we wanted to go visit was not too far away. Convenient with access to Anchorage, Matsu Valley and Eagle River. The cabin was furnished with everything we needed and we all had a great vacation! I highly recommend this place!

Beautiful mountain cabin
The cabin is amazing with great views in every direction. Located just 5 miles from the Chugach State Park and 5 miles from a grocery store. The cabin's family room is huge and perfect for kids and adults. This property worked perfectly for us and was close to nearby hiking trails. Love it.

Peaceful Retreat
We really enjoyed our stay in Eagle River. We’d just spent two weeks on a cruise/land tour with Princess and were tired of schedules to meet. We relaxed and enjoyed the quiet. The views from the cabin are spectacular. We love that we got to share in the history of this homestead cabin!

Nice quiet place with awesome view.
We stayed two nights on our visit to Alaska. Nice quiet place beautiful view. Plenty of room. But There wasn’t any washcloths to take a shower And there was a huge pile of hair in the shower. Also there wasn’t any drinking glasses. Other than that I had a great time and enjoyed my stay. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Cabin is good hospitality may need to be more professional
The cabin is good with beautiful Mountain View. One thing we both felt not so comfortable was once we checked in, the owner asked if we could leave early due to the next guest ask for last minute early check in. I felt kinda intrusive after all years of regular traveling. If next guest ask for early check in, as a owner should come clean early rather than ask guests to leave early…

Older cabin with charm
The cabin is much older than the pictures show, but still carries an immense amount of charm. The view from the cabin is spectacular if you are lucky enough to get a clear day. One thing that we found unsettling was when we pulled into the driveway and started to unpack the car, a drone came up over the ledge and appeared to be recording us. Not sure who was driving the drone or why, but that was an unwelcomed site to say the least. Also, the cabin was not as clean as we would have hoped.
