Perfect location, amazing layout, loved the kitchen. Gary was attentive and had great recommendations for the area. After we hiked and came back for the hot tub-amazing!!
This place is amazing! Perfect location and it is the perfect setup for up to 5 people. We loved the hot top at night. Place was stocked with everything you needed. Gary is an amazing host and made sure we had the best experience. We will be coming back!
Yes, property is a clean, comfortable cabin within a short driving distance of Seward. The kitchen was a pleasure to have, along with the hot tub every evening after hiking or kayaking. The owner is always available and friendly. I would highly recommend it for up to four people.
This place has everything you need and the owner is very quick to respond. He was very helpful.
The area itself in Moose Pass is situated between Seward and Coopers Landing has so many activities to do. Flightseeing, hiking, fishing, etc. You could not K for a better hide away than this gem in Moose Pass.
Our host Gary was on top of it and got us in earlier than we had hoped and even upgraded us to a nicer, roomier and cozy cabin. We stayed on for three nights but wished we could have stayed longer. The spa was wonderful on a cool frosty night or morning and was clean and well kept.
WE definitely enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property to others who want a quiet scenic getaway cabin overlooking Trail River and the Kenai Mountains.

I wish I could live here for the whole summer. It was very clean. Huge bed. Hot tub was great. There is a small gas grill on one of the decks. I used it almost every day. There is another deck up the spiral staircase where there are more beds. The heat worked great although I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. But that is fine with me.
You park your car in a car port so you can get in and out of the house without getting rained on (it rained a lot, but mostly just sprinkles).
The tiny town of Moose Pass is a 2 minute drive. There is a cool restaurant and bar at the Lodge there. Great buffalo wings and cold beer. Friendly folks. There is a cash only convenience store across the street from there. And a fudge store down the street. They also do flightseeing tours on float planes on the lake next to the Lodge. Also kayaking.
You can hear the planes when they fly... sometimes right over the house. And you can hear the train in the distance when it passes by. I liked both of these little experiences.
Moose Pass is an excellent central spot to rent a house. It is near Seward. Near the Sterling Highway which takes you to Cooper Landing, the whole Kenai peninsula area along the river, Soldotna, the town of Kenai and eventually Homer. It is also near Whittier but I wasn't a huge fan of that town. I know there are some great boat tours out of Whittier so don't let my opinion keep you away. On my way back from Whittier I decided to visit the town of Hope. Love it.
Our stay here was wonderful. It had all the amenities we could have needed and more. It was centrally located for everything we had planned so it worked out wonderfully. Everything was very clean and well kept. We would absolutely stay here again.
This place was perfect! We picked this place for our honeymoon and couldn’t be more happy with it. Turned out to be in the perfect location for us too. Hard to find another place with these awesome amenities!
We enjoyed our stay at the chalet. Rooms were clean and kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the breakfast casserole on our first morning. The hot tub was clean and a nice place to relax at the end of the day. Would recommend this location when visiting the kenai peninsula.
Terrific cabin located in Moose Pass. Close drive to Seward or Cooper Landing. Beautiful lake and Mountain views. Owner was friendly and was a pleasure to talk to about Alaska. Near by Moose Pass lodge had some of the best food we had in Alaska.
August 18-24: We stayed 6 nights at this beautiful chalet in Moose Pass. The chalet was lovely with a fabulous well-stocked kitchen and outdoor grill. This was the perfect location between Portage and Seward for us to hike and fish and then come back and eat together and recover from our daily adventures in the hot tub. The beds were super comfortable and the washer/dryer was especially convenient. Our hosts were extremely helpful as we had a late check-in and also needed help storing our sealed and frozen catch from our all day fishing charter in Seward. This property exceeded expectations.
Beautiful property with a spectacular view... host was very attentive...a little disappointed about the hot tub being out of commission, but overall very pleased... wonderful time fishing the Kenai for salmon and an amazing day on the boat with Seward Ocean Excursions and Connor whale and wildlife watching...
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon in early June. The views were impeccable and the location was so perfect. It felt secluded and being in the hot tub under the midnight sun was so calming and relaxing. We went into Seward for food/activities most days and the drive was so scenic it was worth the 30 minutes. The hosts were amazing and even left us a breakfast dish in the fridge- so thoughtful and much appreciated! We hope to be back someday!!
