About the host

Hosted by Mark & Dawn

Host profile image
Both Mark and Dawn grew up near Chicago, somewhere between farm fields, Lincoln historical sites, the Chicago Symphony, and Fermilab. Mark moved to this area of Alaska with his family almost 50 years ago, thrilled to leave the city behind. Mark's father emigrated to America from Switzerland as a young man (hence the Swiss connection and Edelweiss name) and ventured to Alaska in 1973 with his family to make it home. Mark and Dawn have been married for 35 years, and have two grown children who work with us in our printing/graphic design business. We thrive on enjoying boating and fishing, hiking, mushrooming, berry picking, hunting, 4-wheelers, snow machines, x-country skiing... as well as being lovers of local fare, a perfect cup of espresso, and sitting at evening fires by the lake!

Why they chose this property

You're within a few minutes of wonderful hiking trails: Victor Creek, Lost Lake, Vagt Lake, Grayling Lake, Johnson Pass, Ptarmigan Lake, to name a few. You're in the middle of all the great fishing grounds. You're surrounded by mountains and trees and amazing fresh air, birds, and the unique glacial blue color of Kenai Lake. You're on the road system, so can be in Anchorage in 2 hours, or in Seward in a 25-minute drive, or in Cooper Landing in a 25-minute drive. And you're on multiple acres of private, wooded forest where you can stroll on our own trails or sit in peace and quiet.

What makes this property unique

This property is historic, the original homestead of Alaska's first registered hunting guide, Andy Simons. There is a mountain nearby named after him. When the lake level is lower in the spring and fall, you can see the foundation of his cabin destroyed in the 1964 earthquake, and remnants of his home sometimes appear... we've found lots of "useless treasures" over the years!
