Summer View of Home

Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Loft, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 8)
This unique Alaskan home was built with comfort, practicality, and the Alaskan experience in mind. Hand hewn Spruce logs serve as the railings for the expansive decks that grace the entry to front door. As you walk in through the Arctic entry, you are delighted to find the entire interior of the home decorated with reminders of where you actually are, the last frontier, Alaska. The wallpaper, the log beds, the rustic stone hearth and wood stove, the light fixtures, and furniture all bring you into the mood as you settle in to enjoy your stay in this very special destination house.
You will find all the amenities that you are used to there for your use as well. During construction special care was taken to preserve the integrity of the outdoors. The five acre parcel is graced with quaking Aspen, Birch, and Spruce with lush green lawns on three side of the house. Views of the Talkeetna Mtns. With Government Peak, and Archangel Valley make the setting quite delightful. Moose, wild rabbits, fox and the occasional bear also remind you of where you are.
Reed Lake is stones throw away and so is the Little Susitna River. The Independence Mine and Hatcher Pass are less than 10 minutes away by car and the views from Hatcher Pass are truly phenomenal. There is plenty of room for motor homes or trailers to park, and is perfectly situated for trips to the Kenai or to Denali. Great coffee can be had in the friendly and quaint towns of Palmer or Wasilla. Our home will definitely offer you and your family a wonderful Alaskan experience.
This property has two units, the two story upstairs and the bears lair daylight basement.
