Views guests can't stop talking about

Guests highlight the panoramic mountain and water views, with many calling them stunning
Stunning log-sided cabin built in 2019 sitting on exposed granite bedrock with panoramic mountain & water views. You'll have private use of the entire cabin, including 2 bedrooms, each with queen beds, a dresser and large closets. You'll enjoy stunning panoramic views of the Cook Inlet and Mount Susitna and, on clear days, part of the Alaska Range, two volcanoes and downtown Anchorage. Convenient for Anchorage area activities/adventures and a great staging location for day trips north or south.

The space
We find providing hospitality to others to be rewarding, and we've poured our time, talent & treasure into making our cabin an inviting and serene place for our guests. We designed the cabin and did a majority of the work on the interior ourselves.

We're also committed to making choices to make our cabin more sustainable & energy-efficient, maximizing what we recycle and minimizing what we waste, and making conscious decisions on products we use to keep our interior environment as free as possible from chemicals and toxins. We invested in a tight and energy-efficient building envelope, we have a high-efficiency combination boiler and on-demand water heater, our refrigerator in Energy Star model, all of our lighting is LED, and all of our faucets, shower heads & toilet are water-saving. We are exploring options to replace gas appliances with high-efficiency electric ones and also to add solar panels, battery-backups and EV charging.

Guest access
You have private access to the entire cabin.

Other things to note
If you do not have a 4WD/AWD vehicle, you may not be able to drive up the upper driveway (approximately a 20% grade) and may then need to park just below the cabin in the flat parking area. Please be prepared to carry any of your luggage up the steep gravel driveway.

We also rent out one of our vehicles on Turo during the summer season, a 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, which we keep at a valet parking garage within a mile of Anchorage airport. We're happy to offer a discount for our Airbnb guests. We cannot include a hyperlink here, but let us know if you need a car, and we can message you the details.

We have baby items you can use during your stay--please just ask.

Neighborhood highlights

We live in a mountainous neighborhood at the very end of a quiet road with widely spaced homes on large, secluded lots. Downtown Eagle River is 5 minutes away where you can find major grocery stores (Fred Meyer, Carrs & Walmart), coffee houses, Asian/Thai/Vietnamese/Mexican/Italian/Greek fare and shops. Our favorite spots in Eagle River are Jitters Coffee, Jalapeno's, Jimmy's Sushi, Shine's Asian Bistro and Matanuska Brewery. Downtown Anchorage is less than 30 minutes away, and we have some great recommendations there as well--too many to list here, but one of our favorites for food and atmosphere that is very popular is 49th State Brewery. Downhill skiing/snowboarding is available in the Anchorage area and the main ski resort in Alaska is only a 75 minute drive from our home. We are a short drive from many fantastic hiking, biking & cross-country skiing trails. The Mount Baldy trailhead, a very popular local hike, is less than 3 miles from us. The Eagle River Nature Center and its many trails are a short 20 minute drive.

My work: Interior & Surface Design
Lives in Anchorage, Alaska
Greetings! My name is Erica and I'm an interior designer who loves living in a beautiful place with my family and sharing it with others. I'm originally from Colorado and have an educational background in environmental biology and interior design. I worked in interior and graphic design in England before moving to Alaska, where I now have my own interior and surface design business. Along with my husband, Seth, who is originally from Iowa and a retired Air Force officer, we enjoy hosting our cabin next door to our home on Airbnb. We've lived and traveled all across the US and lived in England for over five years, where we enjoyed traveling and staying in B&Bs and Airbnbs all around Europe. We truly enjoy connecting with our guests (virtually and in person when we can) and sharing our love for the beauty, wildlife and adventures that are abundant in Alaska. I'd encourage you to take a look at our listing and the reviews from our previous Guests. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. We would love to be your hosts for your stay in Alaska. Best, Erica
