Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Escape to this secluded 3 BR, 2 BA chalet in the heart of the Chugach Mountains. Endless backcountry hiking, skiing, and sledding starts just outside the door. End the day with a soak in the hot tub under the northern lights set amongst the mountains you just conquered. Looking to relax? Snuggle up to the wood stove or unwind in the 2 person bath tub while still enjoying the breathtaking views from large picture windows. Just 25 min. from Anchorage awaits this private and cozy mountain retreat!

The space
This open-floor plan mountainside cabin offers all of the comforts of a well appointed home set in a location where you are immersed in the power and beauty of the northernmost portion of the pacific coast mountain ranges. The large windows set you amongst stunning views in every direction. The home is newly renovated with hand-crafted features that are sure to impress.

Through the front door leads you into a large family room with high ceilings, a wood stove, and access to the deck and hot tub on the back side of the house. The kitchen is well connected to the space making food preparation a part of the evening's entertainment. It is well stocked with spices, non-perishable staples, and cookware for your use. Behind the kitchen are 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom with laundry closet. Upstairs is a couple's oasis with a large bedroom and connected bathroom that has a double shower and large soaker tub.

Outside there is a private yard with 360 degree mountain views. The deck has a grill that is great for cooking fresh Alaskan seafood. In the winter, our guests love use the driveway as a sledding hill. We even provide the sleds!

Guest access
Hiland road starts just off the 2nd Glenn highway exit headed North out of Anchorage and climbs up into this postcard mountain valley. The road is paved and well maintained, however we always recommend being prepared for potential delays caused by winter storms. The plow crews are true experts and will amaze you with how well they manage the elements but given the location, it can take up to 2 days to clear things up.

You will be staying at mile 7.3, just a half a mile from the popular Upper South Fork Eagle River Trailhead! 15 minutes to downtown Eagle River and 25 minutes to northeast Anchorage.

AWD or 4WD and winter tires are needed from October to April. Previous winter driving experience is highly recommended.

Other things to note
Cell phone service cannot be depended on at this location but most modern phones allow WIFI Calling that will enable your phone to work as normal for calls and texts once connected to the home WIFI. I have worked from home at this house for 6 years utilizing wifi calling so I am confident it will work well for you too!
