About this cabin rental

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!

The Alaskan Homestead is a wonderful place and location for an Alaska adventure! The homestead is clean and everything in the home works very well and home is well stocked with amenities. The location itself is wonderful, with (when I was there) a wonderful view of fog filling up the Eagle River Valley while I sipped coffee of the front porch of the cabin. There was also plenty of room for my toddler grandson to run around in the grass when my family came for a visit. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This cabin fit all of our needs and wants. It was just perfect and in a perfect location. The host is super and communication with the host was easy and with quick responses. If we ever find ourselves in this area again, we'll for sure look at this property to stay at.

We pulled up here and all 4 of us said "wow." The view of mountains are incredible. The log cabin id an amazing place to stay in and well stocked with everything you need. We stayed here as 2 couples and had plenty of room. The pcabin is very spacious with lots of sitting room. We loved sitting outside in Aditondock chairs in the evening looking at the mountains; what an incredible view. With our binoculars we even could see a mountain goat. We have stayed in many VRBO homes and this is one of our favorites! We stayed here as

Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations! The only problem we had was the tumbler on the dryer didn’t work. We contacted Whitney and she responded right away and took care of it ASAP! The house is a fun, clean cabin with some rustic decor. But it has modern and nice fixtures where you want like the bathroom and kitchen. It’s a great mix of rustic and luxury! The views of the mountains are spectacular. The location is amazing, 10 minutes from both wilderness hiking trails and also Walmart. It was a great base of operations for our family to have a wonderful Alaskan vacation! Thank you Whitney and family!

The home is a well-maintained, beautiful log cabin with comfortable furnishings and well-stocked for an easy stay. The views of the mountains cannot be beat! The host was super communicative and friendly, even providing a steamer for our use as we were attending a wedding in Eagle River. Had the pleasure of meeting Whitney on our last day and she shared that her great aunt built the cabin!

When picturing a place to call home for a few days near Anchorage, Alaska, this property hits the mark! From the log cabin design to the wilderness decor to the incredible views, you won’t be disappointed. And the location is remote enough to feel nestled up in the mountains but close enough to the conveniences of town. You found your Alaskan home!

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.

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!

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…

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.

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.
