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!

The best view and cabin!

This home was everything—we were extremely comfortable, felt completely at home, and absolutely felt blown away by the view. We didn’t want to leave! It’s a wonderful home and we are so glad we were able to spend time here. It was a perfect place for us and we can’t wait to come back.

Great peaceful homey getaway!!

The views are absolutely stunning and they have so many windows. We actually got to see the northern lights one night. Autumn was a beautiful time to come as all the trees were turning colors and it looked like a painting. It was fun to stay in a rustic Alaskan cabin, which had most of the necessities we needed and Walmart is only 10 minute drive .

Great stay with a wonderful view

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 is an amazing place!

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

Wonderful Alaskan vacation!

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!
