The space
Tidepool cabin is our newest constructed cabin replacing our large glamping tent and we are thrilled to have another excellent option for your stay in the lineup. We made a note to not compromise the view and added huge windows to offer you fantastic ocean views from the comfort of your bed! Watching the sunset on the ocean while lying in the king bed feels like something straight out of a fairytale!

Cook with a view! Tidepool's kitchenette includes an electric 2 hob burner, electric kettle and a drip coffee machine. Dine alfresco with your own BBQ with views over Kachemak Bay. The cabin has an inside flushing toilet and a private outdoor shower attached to the cabin. Tidepool cabin is steps away from the beach and features private seating on both sides of the land to watch sunrise and sunset. Like all our cabins, you can see wildlife floating by from your pillow at high tide. A few steps down, you will be on the sandy beach of Kasitsna Bay where you can enjoy the fresh salty sea.

My work: Artist, fisherman
Lives in Seldovia, Alaska
I was born and raised in a log cabin in Alaska to a fishing family. I raised my sons as a single mother in San Diego, returning to Alaska every summer to commercial fish. Now that my sons are in college, I spend most of my time at the Alaska homestead, continuing to fish in the summer and sculpt in the winter.
