Foster's Alaska Cabins

4 sites · LodgingKenai, AK

My family started the development of the property back in the 1980's. Since then it has been narrowly used and kept in pristine shape. My Uncle Gary is the primary person who kept up with the property and he's the type of person that pays close attention to detail. Cyndi and I are honored to have taken over the property in 2016 and we hope to always leave a legacy that Uncle Gary will be proud of. Learn more about this land:This is a quaint 140 SF cabin on the property that has 4 bunks for people that are just looking for a nice warm bed. This is one of 5 cabins we operate that are primarily for fishing as they are right on Beaver Creek which flows into the mighty Kenai River. Boats at the dock take people out fishing for salmon on the daily in the summer. The cabin has full electrical, heat, and a kitchenette as well. There is a small covered front porch for people to socialize on and a freezer to store your fish in if you're here for that. The cabin itself does not have running water, but the bath house only 15' away has a full shower, toilet, and sink and it's designated for the cabin guests.

Kayak In, Backcountry Yurt Camp

1 site · Lodging2 acres · Crown Point, AK

We offer overnight stays in an Alaskan made backcountry yurt located on stunning Grant Lake, a 1 mile kayak and 1 mile hike from Moose Pass, Alaska. Moose Pass is an hour and a half South of Anchorage, just 30 miles from Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park. Access to the yurt requires boating to the trailhead. It's not for everyone, as it does require basic backcounty knowledge, preparedness for potential wildlife encounters and an ability to kayak and pack your own equipment in and out of the area. However, if you're comfortable with that, we are able to provide certain gear if you just aren't travelling with your personal equipment. Once at camp, our overnight yurt guests have included access to our kayaks for paddling around Grant Lake from the designated time of Check-In until the time of Check-Out each day. The yurt sleeps up to five guests in one double and three twin beds. There is a coleman stove up at camp with some basic pots and pans, a cast iron woodstove and a nice handmade spruce table for a good game of cards or some board games.

Cozy Cabin Retreat

1 site · Lodging4 acres · Soldotna, AK

We bought these 4.5 acres so we could build our new home on the back lot while living in the small house in the front. We were thrilled to find that the small (slightly ugly) 12x12 cabin on the property was in great shape and could be used for hosting. Initially, we used it only for our personal guests, but soon we were excited to share it with travelers visiting Alaska's beautiful Kenai Peninsula. Fishermen, backpackers and local Alaskans have enjoyed our cabin since we've owned it. We hope to update the {ugly} outside eventually, but until then, we are remembering: it's just looks -- it's the inside that counts! :)Learn more about this land:Come here to enjoy the beauty of Alaska from your own little cabin! Our clean & cozy dry cabin is located conveniently between the famous Kenai River and the Kasilof River, just 10 minutes south of Soldotna. The Homer Spit, Exit Glacier, Cooper's Landing and many other gorgeous attractions are within about a 2 hour drive. The Kasilof Beach with an amazing view of the inlet and mountains is only a 10 minute drive. You will have your own heated cabin with a private outhouse.

Portage Island Glacier

23 sites · RVs, Tents90 acres · Portage, AK

Alaska's city of Portage was nearly destroyed in the 1964 earthquake; only 20 cabins remain on the 90 acres, privately owned by H. Tomingas, that divides The Portage River. During high enough tides, "Portage" is totally surrounded by water making it into an island. In other words, it's the only place that actually has a tide regulated moat!Learn more about this land:Private property overlooking Potter's Marsh just outside of Anchorage with a view that's unreal. Two separate cabins to choose from (our other listing), or pack in and pitch your own tent -- this listing!
