About this cottage rental

Nestled in Alaska, this charming cottage for $361 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. My wife Jennifer and I chose this spot on Trail River to raise our children because of its incredible beauty. Trail River Gardens is located just 20 min from Seward in the heart of the Chugach mountains on beautiful Trail River. From our deck the river is just 50 feet away with the majestic Mount Madison as a back drop. There are lakes above and below us with mountains on all sides. You can walk to hiking trails to even more mountain lakes. If you like to hike and watch birds and other wildlife, then you will love it here at Trail River gardens.

We had a nice stay and enjoyed the river and garden views. The house is set up like a hunter's cabin with three master bedrooms but no living room, so we gathered around the kitchen table. In the kitchen there is a microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker but no stove/oven. There is an induction hot plate but only one small pan that can be used with it. If the weather is good you can cook outside on the excellent barbecue with side burner that can handle the larger pots and pans. There actually is a washer and dryer available. The owners were helpful and we really enjoyed meeting them. Overall this was a great base for exploring Seward and the Kenai peninsula.

We had an amazing stay here. The location is perfect. We went into Seward every day. Seward is a little crowded and touristy so it was nice to come back to this cottage and stay in the beautiful nature of Alaska. Cooper's Landing is an even shorter drive than Seward and also a great little town to see. Plenty of little hikes all over and Kenai Fjords has a beautiful hike up to Harding Icefields. The cottage itself is situated on an amazing creek

We had an amazing stay at Crown Point. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do on the Kenai Peninsula. The hosts provided many extras such as goodies from their vegetable garden, bear spray (never needed), bug spray (much needed), instant oatmeal, many pantry staples, and views of their gorgeous flower beds. My only constructive criticism would be 1) as mentioned elsewhere the photo of the view from the deck is THEIR deck, not the VRBO view and 2) we didn't really get communication about check in. We just drove up and luckily jennifer happened to be on our deck. Not sure we would've known what to do or walked into the right building if she wouldn't have been there. Their home is on the same property as the VRBO along with several other outbuildings. But the property was super comfortable (think Grandma's best worn in quilts), clean, and well situated. As far as not having a stove - that did provide some challenges but we learned about the induction hot plate halfway through our stay and used it to cook our eggs the rest of the stay. Highly recommend this property!

Beautiful property with great views! Very convenient location for travel to Seward. Each bedroom has its own bath which was perfect for three couples. Fire pit was awesome to grill steaks for our dinners! Hosts were very friendly and accommodating! Would highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay here at this rustic cabin. The ultimate highlight was watching a bill moose walk down the river one morning! Amazing!! My son also caught trout from the river that he cooked over the fire pit, which was awesome! The cabin is more rustic which we were aware of. Knowing about the lack of stove/oven did help us prepare ahead of time, but it does limit you somewhat. Overall, we had a great stay. Thank you Jennifer and Russ!

Nice bedrooms (super comfy and soft beds) with baths, lovely garden, rushing creek and a bonfire by the creek. We didn’t realize that there isn’t a living room so to hang out you hang out by a table in the kitchen or deck. Not a huge deal except when it won’t quit raining.

Russ and Jennifer were great hosts. The property was well represented and we were very happy with the accommodations. We hope to be able to return again soon.
