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!

This cabin is a wonderful place to stay near Anchorage. The location is perfect. It is about 15 minutes from a large grocery store and Walmart, but when you are at the cabin, it seems like you are in the wilderness. The setting is beautiful and has incredible views. The living room is large and beautifully decorated with Alaskan art. The kitchen is supplied with necessary cookware and utensils, and the washer/dryer came in handy. We would definitely stay in this cabin again.

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!

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.

The Alaskan Vision of “Home”

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!

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.

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!

Beautiful home, gorgeous views

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!

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.
