Centrally Located Private Chalet with amazing views! Bonus: Hot Tub

Three chalets: The Steller Jay chalet is calendered and booked here. The Wild Rose chalet at VRBO 150525; the Eagles Aerie chalet at VRBO 462399

The three chalets are each private and secluded on five acres of hillside among spruce, hemlock, birch and willow trees over-looking Trail Lake in the CHUGACH NATIONAL FOREST. Each has it's own hot tub, high speed internet, an amazing view.

CENTRALLY LOCATED in the middle of all there is to do on the KENAI PENINSULA:
15 minutes to Cooper Landing; 30 to Seward; 1 hour to Whittier, Prince William Sound, Alyeska, and Soldotna & the Lower Kenai; 2.5 hours to Homer; and 90 minutes from Anchorage.

Relax surrounded by snow-capped mountains, overlooking turquoise-colored Trail Lake.

The world-famous KENAI & RUSSIAN Rivers are just minutes away - world class fishing for salmon and trout, or rafting and bear viewing.

KENAI FJORDS NATIONAL PARK, EXIT GLACIER & HARDING ICEFIELD, and saltwater fishing on Resurrection Bay are also only minutes away.

Superb HIKING/mountain BIKING trails through lush forests to alpine meadows blanketed with wildflowers beside crystal clear snow-melt streams, waterfalls, ponds and lakes surrounded by glaciated mountain majesty are minutes away.

Our beautifully appointed, comforts-of-home-and-then-some chalet is your ideal home base for adventures on the Kenai Peninsula.

THE PERFECT WINTER RETREAT

SNOWMOBILING, Nordic and Alpine SKIING and BOARDING just out the door for your daytime adventures in the world famous Chugach Mountains back-country.

Relax watching the sunrise and alpenglow paint the mountains the full palate of Alaskan winter colors.

Soothe your winter aches in the HOT TUB under a dazzling star-lit sky- and if you're lucky, catch the NORTHERN LIGHTS. The hot tub is the best place to catch seasonal meteor showers and the aurora away from city lights.

The views of the lake and surrounding mountains from the Chalet are amazing! Hot tub was great for seeing views and relaxing after outdoor excursions. Host was kind and welcoming, and provided helpful suggestions on activities nearby and fishing. Overall, we had a memorable experience visiting the Kenai Peninsula, and would stay here again if ever back.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Stellar Jay. The house was clean and comfortable. The hot tub was great and the view of the mountains and lake was beautiful. Very thoughtful hosts left us a French toast casserole that was delicious. This house is great for hanging out and a good home base for hiking and rafting and fishing.

What a fantastic place. Well equipped - we made several meals there. The view was amazing. The hot tub was clean and we appreciated the rules around it to keep it sanitized. Dark curtains helped with the summer sun. Nice drive into Seward and Kenai. Overall definitely recommended.

A Perfect Trip

We had a perfect trip to the Kenai Peninsula in late May. We had 4 adults and 3 children (ages 5-11) and zero complaints. The photos don't do the views justice when you're in the Stellar Jay chalet. We spent too much time staring out the window. The kitchen is very well equipped and allowed us to cook multiple meals at home. We found plenty of linens and the WiFi and cell signal were both excellent. The house is centrally located so it's an easy drive from Anchorage, up to Whittier, down to Seward, or over to Cooper Landing. We had a great time exploring Alaska and using Stellar Jay as our home base for a week. We hope we'll be able to come back some day.

Perfect Alaskan getaway!

We came to Moose Pass for spring break from Anchorage. It was 4 of us, and our two chihuahuas. The view is absolutely stunning (even when we live in Alaska and see the beautiful mountains on the daily, this view was still breathtaking). The kitchen was well stocked. We cooked several meals and were never lacking anything we needed. The BBQ worked great. The place was clean, family and pet friendly. The bedding was comfortable and we finally got a good night's sleep! The hot tub was relaxing and our entire stay was just fantastic. We will definitely request to book again the future. Thank you for a great stay!!
