Cozy home in the wilderness with beautiful mountain views

If you're looking for a wilderness retreat with all the comforts of home, this place is for you.

About the house: This is a two story house on a large lot with beautiful mountain views. There are two bathrooms and two available bedrooms, which are downstairs. One bedroom features a queen bed and a closet, the second room has a twin bed. Both bedrooms have brand new carpet. There is a separate entrance downstairs that opens into a big backyard. Upstairs there is a large kitchen with a dishwasher, living room, and a bathroom. There is a living room on each floor with comfortable couches.

About the property: The house is just two miles away from the Eagle River Nature center, where the road ends and the Chugach national forest begins. The mountain views from the property are spectacular. There are lots of opportunities for hiking and Nordic Skiing. Wildlife is often seen around the property: moose, owls, rabbits, and sometimes even lynx can be spotted around the house. There have been bear sightings here in the summer. The bears are usually polite and keep to themselves, but just to be safe we will offer bear safety tips, bear bells, and bear spray for summer stays. We are near the end of a quiet street, there are no streetlights so there are lots of stars. Sometimes northern lights are visible in the winter. In the winter the roads around here aren't always plowed, and this property is up a big hill- four wheel drive and studded tires are a necessity. In the summer any vehicle is usually fine.

About your hosts: We are artists and avid hikers who live in a caretaker cottage on the property. We are happy offer ideas for outdoor activities or anything else you may need, and if you want to keep to yourself that fine too. We have a big friendly dog who you might meet or hear occasionally, but no pets in the house please. We are sober, and we request no heavy drinking or drug use on the property.
