Cozy Log Retreat Near Turnagain Arm

Experience a peaceful Alaskan getaway in this handcrafted log home overlooking the stunning Turnagain Arm. With custom woodwork, warm interiors, and unique local artwork, this space offers a truly authentic Alaskan feel. The home sits perfectly between Anchorage and Girdwood—just 25 minutes to each—and about 35 minutes from the airport, making it an ideal base for exploring the area or simply relaxing in nature.

Inside, you’ll find a cozy and inviting space surrounded by the natural beauty of Chugach State Park. Whether you're here to ski, hike, sightsee, or look for the northern lights, the location is perfect for adventure and quiet retreats alike. Its close proximity to Alyeska Resort makes it an excellent choice for winter travelers.

Getting here is easy: take the Seward Highway to Indian Road, turn onto Huot Cir, pass under the Indian Valley Meats sign, and follow the road up to the left. Park in front of the home's driveway, and you’ll receive your check-in code on the day of arrival. We kindly ask that guests respect house rules—no illegal activities, shoes off indoors, wash used dishes, place towels in the hamper, and bring full trash bags to the backyard under the deck. If anything comes up during your stay, just let us know—we’re always happy to help.

*We please ask that you park in front of the rental, and not along the side of the building as that area is for our permanent residences*

The stay and accommodations were great, we loved it. We were greeted by peacocks every morning, yes peacocks in Alaska. If I had to say one negative about the property, it would be the small dryer. I get that for the size of where the dryer was housed, but it could probably accommodate a bit larger one. I just want to give an honest review. The Host was fantastic and responsive.

The house was amazing. Such a beautiful location and so cozy. We had a blast here and looked forward to returning every night after our adventures. We loved all the art, and the mounts. The balleen fronds on the stairs were my favorite. My son loved watching DVDs. We slept every night watching the stars outside in the upstairs room. Also the kitchen is huge! Everything was perfect. Being across from the meat market was super convenient too. Thank you for letting up share your home for a week.

We arrived at the VRBO and the road to access the property was not plowed nor was the driveway, so we could not get into the property. We immediately called the property manager, who was not sympathetic nor helpful. We called VRBO to advise and send pictures, However we have yet to receive a refund.
