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 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.

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!

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!

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…

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!

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!
