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.

Location is great for exploring the area— easy access to Seward and cooper landing. House was clean and views amazing. They do request in person check-in to walk through mechanics of the house, and there are a few check-out chore requests, but this was not an issue for us. Beds are comfortable and place is cozy. Homemade surprise in the fridge was a nice touch. We would stay again.

This was a perfect spot for our family of six adults to go out and explore the Kenai Peninsula. The view from the deck is phenomenal and watching float planes take off and land was an enjoyable activity. When back from exploring we were able to watch the World Cup on a nice large tv screen. The hosts left a delicious French toast casserole in the frig for our first morning — above and beyond! Such a thoughtful thing to do for travelers!The only to be aware of is that you must be able to climb one floor of stairs as the kitchen and main gathering area is on the second floor. It was not an issue for us but it might be for some.We would definitely return.
