About this property

Real Alaskan Riverfront Log home

Spacious 3500 square foot 3 bedroom 3 1/2 bath Log home was hand built by the owner from logs harvested in the immediate area.

Live like an Alaskan while you vacation with all the comforts of home. The home features a large fully equipped kitchen, huge living room with vaulted ceiling and a stone fireplace plus a wonderful view of Trail River and the surrounding mountains out the windows. Satellite TV, DVD player as well as WI-FI.

The three bedrooms each have an en-suite private bath. The home can sleep up to 9.

Sit on the porch and enjoy your morning coffee or prepare a meal on the grill. In the evening start a fire in the fire pit located a few feet from the river and recap your adventures of the day. Bring your pole and fish right from the yard. Covered carport so you won't get wet coming or going if it happens to rain.

Situated smack dab in the middle of all the action. 5 minutes from Moose Pass, 20 minutes to Seward and Resurrection Bay, 30 minutes from Cooper Landing and the world class fisheries on the Kenai and Russian Rivers, 45 minutes from the historic mining town of Hope. 1 1/2 hour from Anchorage and Soldotna/Kenai.

Plenty of things to do for everyone!

Beautiful property! The house was set up great for us. Large area downstairs to accommodate all of us for cooking and playing games. Todd was a great host and very responsive! He even helped me with a tire problem. Really liked talking to him and hearing about the history of the place. Hopefully I’ll stay again someday!

Todd built and has maintained this lovely log cabin that is immediately adjacent to a great river. My group enjoyed fishing every morning and evening and were very successful with fly rods and spinning set ups (rainbows and dolly varden). The kitchen is well stocked, beds comfortable and the whole place quite spacious. We used the BBQ, made a fire in the evenings and generally enjoyed everything about our visit. Todd was very friendly and checked that everything was OK, which we appreciated. We look forward to returning!

Great AK getaway

Property was exactly what we wanted and provided all that was advertised. It was close enough to town to make quick trips but far enough away to provide that true Alaska experience

Trip of a lifetime

The house was beautiful and very well stocked and maintained. The group of five had plenty of room and everything we needed for a trip of a lifetime with great friends. One of the most beautiful properties in the Seward area and the host was always available and very knowledgable of the area. Highly recommend.

WOW

I was showing my friends the pictures of this place before our trip and it’s even more impressive in person. VRBO needs to add another star to their ratings just for this one. Comfortable beds, super clean, stocked with everything you might need, wonderful host, and the view. Would gladly have stayed longer if I could.

Wonderful place to stay in Alaska!!

My family of 8 and I stayed here for 3 days and it was wonderful. We had some issues and Todd was extremely responsive and helpful. He had a pack and play for our baby and fishing poles ready to go. A fabulous host and an equally fabulous house. Stay here!! You won’t regret it!

Phenomenal property!!!

From the second we drove onto the property we were blown away by the beautiful views!!! This home had everything - including heated floors. The amenities and personal items were beautiful and added to the ambiance of this gorgeous log cabin home. The owner was extremely accommodating and promised to be available to answer questions if we needed anything. Fabulous location - we continued to talk about our wonderful stay long after we left. We would definitely stay here again!!!

It is a beautiful home with a well kept lawn and fire pit with several chairs next to a lovely flowing river. The kitchen is well supplied and beds are comfortable - including the rollaway and daybeds. The host is friendly and readily available. We did a lot of activities away from the home but enjoyed all our time spent there.

Beautiful setting

We loved the river house and spent every evening in the backyard enjoying the view. Our boys fished (and caught) in the river everyday with the poles that Todd, the owner, had provided. We had a campfire every evening and were very appreciative of the firewood that was provided for us to use. The house was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had plenty for us to cook our own meals. The home is right on the highway so there was some road noise during the night. The train tracks go right along side the same road so we heard the train occasionally as well. The master bedroom had a tall ceiling with uncovered dormer windows which was problematic with the never-ending daylight. Despite these things, we would definitely recommend this home to others and stay here again. Todd was a great host!

Amazing family vacation

House was perfect for our family of 9. Plenty of space of bedrooms and bathrooms. Location was great. Plenty of kitchen utensils, dishes, pans, etc. Pool table could use a little tlc and in a tight space. A little road noise from traffic when outside, but didn’t bother us. Outdoors seating and fire pit was great for relaxing with a fire, few drinks, evening book reading. Caught a few fish in river next to house. Todd was great host to work with. Definitely recommend and would return.
