Three chalets are secluded on five acres of hillside among spruce, hemlock, birch and willow trees over-looking Trail Lake in the CHUGACH NATIONAL FOREST. Each has it's own hot tub and will accommodate parties for 1-22.
We're in the MIDDLE of it all:
15 minutes to Cooper Landing; 30 to Seward; 1 hour to Whittier, Prince William Sound, Alyeska, and Soldotna & the Lower Kenai; 2.5 hours to Homer; and 90 minutes from Anchorage.
CENTRALLY LOCATED in the middle of all there is to do on the KENAI PENINSULA, relax surrounded by snow-capped mountains, overlooking turquoise-colored Trail Lake.
The world-famous KENAI & RUSSIAN Rivers are just minutes away - world class fishing for salmon and trout, or rafting and bear viewing.
KENAI FJORDS NATIONAL PARK, EXIT GLACIER & HARDING ICEFIELD, and saltwater fishing on Resurrection Bay are also only minutes away.
Superb HIKING/mountain BIKING trails through lush forests to alpine meadows blanketed with wildflowers beside crystal clear snow-melt streams, waterfalls, ponds and lakes surrounded by glaciated mountain majesty are minutes away.
Our beautifully appointed, comforts-of-home-and-then-some chalet is your ideal home base for four or more days of summer adventures on the Kenai Peninsula.
THE PERFECT WINTER RETREAT
SNOWMOBILING, Nordic and Alpine SKIING and BOARDING just out the door for your daytime adventures in the world famous Chugach Mountains back-country.
Relax watching the sunrise and alpenglow paint the mountains the full palate of Alaskan winter colors.
Soothe your winter aches in the HOT TUB under a dazzling star-lit sky. And it's the hot tub is the best place to catch seasonal meteor showers and the aurora away from city lights.

Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautiful chalet. The views are unbelievable. Everything is so nicely decorated and comfortable. You’ve thought of everything to make our stay truly relaxing and enjoyable. Today we went kayaking around Fox Island. It was raining, but we still had a lot of fun. Tomorrow we hope to hike Exit Glacier & Harding Icefield and relax at the chalet. Thanks again for your wonderful hospitality. - The Kaufman familyDid you find this review helpful?

Had a great time at the Steller Jay Chalet. We watched the float planes take off and land, the Seller Jays and squirrels, & the clouds cover and reveal the mountains. This is a great home-away-from-home while we explored Kenai Fjords. - Lefeveres & McCabesDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

The chalet was the perfect place for our group of five adults. We enjoyed unbelievable weather. Some of us fished for red salmon in the Kenai/ Russian River area. We loved being able to cook our own salmon every night for dinner. We hiked around the lake part way and two of us hiked up the Carter Lake trail above treeline. Also hiked into exit Glacier after a fabulous nature/glacier boat trip with Kenai Fjords Tours. We enjoyed lounging in the hot tub or sitting on the deck and watching the light change on the mountains or float planes land on the lake. Thank you for providing such a delightful home in the mountains. - The Mygatt/MacCain/ Wilson familyDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

August 2009 Beautiful view from the windows. Nice relaxing place to stay. A Steller Jay came to the bird feeder a few times…Just the place to unwind, read, enjoy the view and relax. Thank you for opening the place and having us here. Perfect place to stay! First time visitors to Alaska – Marci, Carmen, Rick & Carl [Owners comment: Glad you had a good time. We’re happy to share out little piece of Alaskan heaven with folks.]Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Fe. 20th, 2009 Drove in from Anchorage last night. Walked through the front door of the Steller Jay chalet and gasped in awe of its’ size and beauty. We left our concerns and everyday life somewhere on the 90 minute drive here…we woke to gorgeous sunny skies and one of the most spectacular views we’ve ever seen – and we’re longtime Alaskans!. Feb. 22, 2009 We sigh heavily as we pack for our short journey home. We have been seduced by the quiet solitude of this place. We intend to come back here again and again! Franks’ parents will love it and it would make a perfect retreat for Kamala’s co-workers (all registered nurses) [– Owners comment: Thanks for the journal entry Kamala and for bringing your co-workers down for a retreat. Hope you can make it back again soon.]Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Gary and Treva, Just a short note to tell you that we really, really, really enjoyed our visit. You have a beautiful home in an incredible setting. We have been doing VRBO for many years and can honestly state that the Wild Rose Chalet was one of our favorite experiences. The home was clean, well equipped and in a perfect location! As I tell my friends, it was natures on steroids...fish were bountiful, moose/bear/eagles all over, hiking was great, & the hot tub hit the spot! The hosts, Bob and Judy, are a wonderful couple that care about your property. It was a pleasure meeting them and your neighbor, Kyle (www.keeneyeanglers.com)Did you find this review helpful?

Had a wonderful time staying at the chalet. Beautiful sunny days – highs in the upper 30’s, lows in the teens. Went to Seward and took a day cruise. Ate halibut dinner at Thorns – a local bar. Spent another day in Soldotna/Kenai – hiked on trails in the Wildlife Refuge. Ate lunch at Sals Diner – yummy burgers on Sourdough Bread. Picked up some Alaska King Crab at Peninsula Seafood and cooked those at the chalet. Outstanding! Soaked in the hot-tub and had two wonderful nights of the Aurora Borealis. What incredible views out the living room window! Wonderful views, cozy cottage, great location, privacy – What a delightful place! Thanks for the hospitality!Did you find this review helpful?

The Selman family is sad to be leaving such an amazing place. We have been here for three days now snow machining and spending quality time with the whole family. The hot tub was wonderful; we couldn’t keep the kids out of it! Just days filled with reading, eating, movie watching, and napping. I think most of all we are all going to miss waking up every morning to such a breathtaking view. It’s just another reason to hurry us all back here!Did you find this review helpful?

Our first stay at this beautiful chalet. Had a nice dinner and an evening soak in the hot tub. Gorgeous night. Clear sky bright moon and more stars than I have seen in ages! Completely relaxed and fully decompressed, we snooze on the couch for a couple of hours. Off to bed- the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in away from home. The best sleep I have had in months. Out of bed by 9:00 to watch the sun rise over the mountain to the east- for a short time anyway. Another beautiful clear day- such a peaceful relaxing environment- it will be hard to leave. Can’t wait to return to this little piece of heaven- hopefully for longer next time. Thank you for sharing your paradise.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1
