Layout & Sleeping
The home sleeps up to 6 guests across a loft master suite and two daylight-basement bedrooms. The loft suite features a queen aspen log bed, a walk-in shower, and large triangular windows overlooking the lake. Downstairs are two queen bedrooms with lake views, plus a full bathroom with double vanity and a foyer with a twin day bed.
Kitchen, Comfort & In-home Amenities
This is a self-catered stay with a full kitchen including an oven/stove and microwave, plus Wi‑Fi and cable TV. For comfort, the home is heated and includes a fireplace/wood stove for cozy evenings. Practical amenities include on-site laundry (washer) and free parking.
Outdoor Space & Recreation
A large covered patio/deck spans the lake side of the home and includes an outdoor grill for cooking, especially after fishing. The listing highlights trout fishing and a beach area known for “skipping rocks,” and the hosts provide trout fishing poles and bait. Hiking access is a core draw: trails in Chugach National Forest start right out the front door.
Location & Nearby Highlights
The home works well as a base for regional day trips, with Seward and Resurrection Bay about 20 minutes south for ocean fishing and access toward Kenai Fjords National Park, and Cooper Landing about 40 minutes west for the Kenai and Russian Rivers. Dining options are primarily a drive away, with multiple Seward-area restaurants such as Resurrection Roadhouse (about 23.6 km), Ray’s Waterfront (about 27.5 km), and The Highliner Restaurant (about 29.3 km). Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is about 96.9 km away.
Best for
This log home is best for couples, families, and small groups who want a peaceful Kenai Lake base with standout scenery and direct access to hiking in Chugach National Forest. It particularly suits anglers and outdoor travelers thanks to the trout-fishing focus (poles and bait provided), outdoor grill, and day-trip proximity to Seward, Resurrection Bay, and the Kenai/Russian Rivers. It also works well for guests who prefer a private, full-home setup with a real kitchen, laundry, and a fireplace/wood stove.
Travel tips
Plan on driving: restaurants and services listed are several tens of kilometers away, and the airport (Ted Stevens Anchorage International) is roughly 96.9 km from the home. If fishing is part of your trip, the home’s large freezer space and provided trout gear can simplify storing and preparing your catch. Consider using the property as a hub for day trips—Seward is noted as about 20 minutes south, and Cooper Landing about 40 minutes west.
