Nikiski Village 

This property has been in my family since 1987.  My parents bought it after they retired from teaching native children in an isolated village on the Bering Sea.  I retired from my career, and came here to help my mom.

Foster's Alaska Cabins

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.

About Our Volcanoes on The Kenai Peninsula The Kenai Peninsula is home to quite a few volcanoes. Three of which are plainly visable on most days, and three that can be seen on good clear days from Artistic Afterthoughts home in Ninilchik, Alaska. The Volcanoes visible from the Kenai Peninsula, starting from the north and going south, are:Mount Spurr, which erupted in 1953 and again in 1992, standing 11,070 feet tall. Mount Redoubt, standing 10,197 feet sigh, erupted on March 15, 2009 and sent ash plumes as high as 60,000 feet. Mount Redout also erupted for 7 months starting in December 1989 and ending in June 1990 creating ash clouds 12 miles high!Mount Illiamna is a non-active volcano since 1741, at least not in recorded events. She stands a good 10, 016 feet into the clouds. Fourpeaked Mountain stands 6904 feet tall. Across the Cook Inlet, her first recorded eruption wasn't recorded until 2006. This is one of the lesser known volcanoes North East of Katimai National Park. Fourpeaked Glacier covers most of the surface of the Volcano. Mount Augustine is a volcanic island in Kamishak Bay, which lies directly across from Kachemak Bay. Although she stands only 4,134 feet tall, Mount Augustine is quite active, erupting in 1883, 1908, 1935, 1963-64, 1976, 1986, and 2005-2006. Mount Douglas is dormant volcano that hasn't erupted since the ice age. She stands 7,020 feet tall.

The cabin is surrounded by towering spruce trees on 3 sides

Cozy Cabin Retreat

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.
