Private Log Home on Kenai Lake!

Welcome to your tranquil lakeside hideaway! This custom log home boasts cathedral ceilings, stunning lake views, a large covered deck with a grill, trout fishing, and a beach full of perfect skipping rocks. Rustic log furniture and original art give guests a truly Alaskan experience.
World-class ocean fishing in Resurrection Bay and glacier-viewing in Kenai Fjords National Park are located 20-minutes to the south in Seward. The famous Kenai and Russian Rivers are located 40 minutes to the west in Cooper Landing. The Chugach National Forest's incredible hiking trails start right out the front door.
On the main floor, skip-peeled log walls surround an open kitchen, living room and dining room. The kitchen boasts a copper sink, maple cabinets, propane cook stove, and dishwasher. The refrigerator contains a large freezer for preserving your harvest of local fish and berries. A queen sleeper sofa and matching armchairs invite guests to relax in front of the wood stove. A large, covered deck spans the back of the house where guests can grill their fresh lake trout while viewing the lake.
A custom log staircase leads to the master suite in the loft. The suite has a rustic, queen-sized, aspen log bed, a walk-in shower and large 8 ft x 8 ft triangular windows overlooking Kenai Lake.
The daylight basement contains two cozy bedrooms that view the lake; the burgundy bedroom has a queen, and the sage bedroom has a full-sized bed. There is also a full bathroom with a double vanity, laundry facilities, and a foyer with a twin day bed.
The cabin sleeps a total of 7 guests. It's a perfect location for families or couples to enjoy nature as well as each other.
We provide trout fishing poles, bait, and a binder full of local information to help make the most of your vacation.

Perfectly located! A total gem.
Great location, the cabin is awesome. Truly a special place. Make sure and grab a bag of marshmallows, because relaxing by the fire pit on the lake beachfront, skipping stones with the kids is one of those memories that'll stick with ya. The cabin has all the comforts you could want, and its an easy drive to Seward, tons of great hiking trails, and some of the most beautiful sights

The house was amazing. It was super comfortable and absolutely beautiful.
We really enjoyed our stay. Marion took care of every request in a prompt manner. The house is gorgeous and having the lake right down a short path on the back of the house was perfect (breathtaking views). We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

GREAT cabin and easy living while in Alaska
The cabin was really top notch - had everything we could think of. Perfect place, about 50-yards to the lake where you can build fire and relax on water's edge. The entire cabin is very clean, tidy with all of the amenities - nothing was out of place. 15 minute drive into town where we could shop for groceries, eat out or catch a fishing boat to the bay. Hiking trails everywhere - would come back and stay here year round if we could! Thanks Marion!

Best Property We've Stayed at in Alaska!
We have visited Alaska several times and stayed in several different rental cabins and homes. We've enjoyed them all, but this log home is by far the nicest we have ever stayed in. It is every bit as nice as the pictures! It was immaculate and comfortable and very spacious. We loved the close proximity to Kenai Lake. You cannot beat the view and the peaceful setting. The owners were also very easy to reach and were very helpful as we settled in. This was a perfect place to home base for trips to Seward, the Kenai River, and several hiking trails. We could not have asked for a nicer place for our week in Alaska!

Primrose Cabin
We truly enjoyed our stay in the cabin on Kenai Lake. The cabin was clean and everything was in good condition. The kitchen was well stocked with good quality cookware. Bedding was nice and comfortable. We enjoyed using our telescope to look for bears and mountain goat on the mountain. We saw both. We even caught a few trout in the lake. I would recommend this rental highly.

Unbelievable
We had such a nice stay at the cabin. It by far exceeded our expectations. We caught a HUGE Lake trout at the lake right in front of the house. Along with a bunch of regular size fish. The house is magnificent! I i'm counting down the days until we could come back to this beautiful house!

Amazing!
My family of four adults stayed for three nights. We all agreed that this was one of our favorite properties. The owners seem to have thought of everything. They had bag chairs, bug spray, and fishing poles and tackle. The house was well maintained and had a personal touch at every turn. We took the trail across the road and even saw a bear in the creek bed toward the end of the trail! (Luckily the owners left bear spray for us to use). If I could rate this property higher I would!

Loved this Alaskan log cabin
We had a wonderful time at this cabin. The house is beautifully appointed and in an amazing location on Kenai Lake. The kids loved playing and fishing in the lake and a huge bonus is that the train goes right through the backyard! Every time we would hear the train coming we would all run outside to see it. We made a bonfire by the lake the roasted s'mores. The location is a great jumping off point to fishing on the Kenai River and all of the activities available in Seward. We would absolutely come back to this house! Thank you for the wonderful visit.

Absolutely loved this cabin!
We absolutely loved this cabin and the location so much! The cabin was stocked with everything needed. Upon arrival, the cabin smelled so good and fresh and was very clean. The kitchen was neat and tidy, and the bathrooms were stocked with many towels! We also own a vrbo property, so it was nice getting extra ideas on how to make a place cozy staying at this cabin! Our kids had a great time fishing, skipping rocks, and playing in the playhouse! The view of the lake from the property is stunning! Marion was so helpful showing us around the property, and giving us many tips on hikes and fun things to do in the area! We would love to come back here, but not sure the next time we will take another trip to Alaska! Thank you so much for a beautiful place to stay!

5 STAR STAY
My family needed a short stay near Seward, and this cabin was perfect. Very clean and comfortable with a charming story about its beginnings. But I think you’ll have to stay there to learn about it :) Marion is a very personable host/owner and checked in frequently to make sure we didn’t need anything. The cabin is right on a lake and I am certain that this would be an outstanding place for a summer visit. It is about a 20 minute drive to the grocery store and downtown Seward, where all the “action” is. On the way out- we stopped at the knife shop across the street. The owner is friendly and fabulous, and really appreciative of our military. Worth a stop in. Great cabin. Great host. 10/10 would recommend

Cute cabin on gorgeous Lake Kenai
Our family (2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 2 kids) stayed here and enjoyed our time here. Out the back of this cabin is a short walk to the gorgeous, quiet Lake Kenai. There is a nice little beach area and fishing gear was provided- we didn't catch anything but spent a few pleasant hours trying and enjoying the view. A little farther walk away is a beautiful riverbed leading into the lake- wide open area with no one else there and we saw a bald eagle sitting on a fallen tree when we arrived; there is also a view of a mountain with a glacier- drop dead gorgeous place. The house was very clean and well appointed. The twin bed is on the small downstairs landing outside 2 of the bedrooms and a bathroom so wouldn't work for someone easily disturbed- our 8 year old slept here and loved it though. Just be aware that the nearest real grocery store is in Seward and with the current roadworks it can add a lot of time to what your GPS says. But, if you want a peaceful place with a gorgeous view and between Cooper Landing and Seward this is a good option.

Charming and comfortable
This cabin fit our needs very well! It was stocked with everything we needed and we all slept very comfortably there. Kitchen had all the pots and utensils we needed and even cooking basics like oil, spices and condiments. We had fun with the games available as well as with the stack of old AK magazines! A must stop is the knife shop across the street, Virgil seemed happy to give a tour of the workshop and really made it interesting for the kids. The lake is gorgeous and we enjoyed watching the trains go by. The only slight downside was perhaps a little road noise since it's close to the road (you can't see it though) and we were lucky enough to be there while they were blasting for road rehab! There were 2 blasts one night that shook the house. They made us aware of it before we went but I wasn't sure if/how it would impact us. The road was closed until 8am one morning but luckily it wasn't the day we had to leave early for our fishing trip. Obviously the owners have no control over that but something to think about as I'm not sure when it will be done.

Magical Family Vacation
We booked our stay at the Glaser’s cabin about a year in advance; and the anticipation of our family’s first trip to Alaska was intense! We arrived and, quite frankly, did not ever want to leave. The location of the cabin was ideal. Even with road construction, it was only an extra 20 minutes into and out of Seward. Not really a big deal. The location on the lake was absolutely breathtaking. We loved skipping rocks, enjoying bonfires in the fire pit, exploring the Victor Creek river bed as it flows into Kenai Lake, taking naps on the grass in the sunshine… truly this place is idyllic. The beds were comfortable and the showers were hot. We made dinner several nights at the cabin; we loved the grill, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our son had the best time waving to the train conductor each time it passed and he would toot the train horn hahaha!! So amazing. We can’t wait to be back. Thank you so much!
