We loved staying at Glacier View! Being surrounded by nature with sweeping views of Kachemak Bay was so wonderful! We also loved the sandhill cranes and the moose that feasted on the meadows surrounding the cabin.

Catkin and Tom were beyond welcoming. We stayed at a couple of other places while visiting Alaska, and upon arriving at Glacier View, my husband said, “wow, you saved the best for last”!. We felt very comfortable and right at home.

Such a cozy cabin and beautiful property. The views from the deck are amazing. We had moose bed down in the pasture below the cabin. I can't compliment this place enough. Our host was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.

This is a lovely spot. You really feel like you have gone back in time and homesteaded in Alaska. I loved learning more about this resilient family who still love and care for the property their parents started so many years ago. Thank you for the stay (and the tow). I hope to have the opportunity to visit again!

Beautiful location. Everything great. There were Kleenex and paper towels. Washer and dryer inside the Glacier View cabin- very handy. Good sized closets and pantry. Just to avoid any disappointment- the MBR has no window coverings if you are light sensitive. Steps to upstairs are steep if you have mobility issues. Otherwise, it has everything you need and some lovely walks on the property.
