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!

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!

Cabin is good hospitality may need to be more professional
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…

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.

Peaceful Retreat
We really enjoyed our stay in Eagle River. We’d just spent two weeks on a cruise/land tour with Princess and were tired of schedules to meet. We relaxed and enjoyed the quiet. The views from the cabin are spectacular. We love that we got to share in the history of this homestead cabin!
