About this property

Stay centrally and explore effortlessly - all your vacation needs in one spot!

Visit Seward, Cooper Landing, Soldotna, Whittier, Hope, Girdwood and all of Kenai Peninsula from one convenient base.

Stay connected in our home with Wifi and a reliable cellular signal; amenities not consistently available in the surrounding area.

Escape the noise of traffic! Our home is nestled away from the hustle of the Seward Highway but still convenient to get back on the road quickly.

The home features a king size bed and ensuite 1/2 bathroom on the ground level. The ground level has its own entrance/exit leading to the backyard and stairs to access the upper levels. The ground level has a washer/dryer and blackout curtains on all windows for light sensitive guests.

The loft bedroom features a queen size bed and is accessed via a ladder-style staircase. The footing is very secure and there is a handrail, but it is steep and not recommended for young children or if you have accessibility issues. Not all windows have blackout curtains in the loft and light sensitive sleepers will prefer the basement bedroom.

The second level features a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar, dining table, full bathroom and living area. There's an outdoor table on a deck, with spectacular panoramic mountain views.

The entire home is yours and self catering. Your own transportation is mandatory as there is no reliable public transportation in the area.

Any VRBO home or hotel in Alaska you choose for your holiday may have unexpected situations or things that make people uncomfortable. This includes some things Alaska is famous for like mosquitos! There are also flies, spiders, dangerous wildlife and loose dogs. Enjoying the great outdoors requires full awareness.

Uncommon situations happen, such as the electricity going out for hours or days. Smoke and wild fires happen somewhere in Alaska every summer. Rain can last for days. The wind can blow hard day and night or it could be unusually hot with no A/C available in most of Alaska.

Last but not least, there will be road construction and this could delay your travels and make you late for excursions. Other roads have pot holes and no pavement, driving in Alaska requires your full awareness and attention.

Simply Amazing Home Away from Home

We came here for our Honeymoon and it was the perfect home away from home. Everything we could have ever needed was available to us and if we needed anything further the hosts were incredibly accommodating. Our trip went without a hitch. There’s nothing we would have changed about our stay. It was the perfect location, day trips to each place we went too with lots of hiking nearby as well. Everything was clean, operated well and the bed was so so comfortable!!!

Great!

The house was so beautifully decorated and the view was outstanding! Had everything we needed. We loved having morning and evening coffee/tea at the table with the view. So calming and relaxing! Unfortunately we had a lot of hiking and tours planned in kenai fjords so didn’t get to spend as much time as we would’ve liked at the house. It was great to come home to such a nice quiet place! Convenient location to Seward and Coopers Landing. Highly recommend. Matt was very responsive and helpful!! Would love to stay again.

Great property- located near main roads but far enough away that you feel as though you are in your own private oasis. Owners are super and offeredsuggestions on where to hike. The smoked salmon welcome plate was delicious!

About the host

Hosted by Matthew

My first trip to Alaska was in 1996 as a teenager. I stayed for the month of July and was in awe of the midnight sun! I hiked to waterfalls, hiked on glaciers, saw breaching whales, camped with bears and caught my first halibut and salmon. I was hooked immediately(pun intended)!
I look forward to being your host! I'lll make your Moose Pass experience local and memorable, because traveling is a pleasure when you find a comfortable home to relax, explore and escape the feeling of a hotel. As an experienced and passionate traveler, I've stayed in hundreds of hotels, guesthouses, hostels, home-stays, and BnB's in over 50 countries. I've tried to combine and present all these experiences in my home, to make it a wonderful place to visit and stay.

Why they chose this property

This is a perfect location only 90 minutes south of Anchorage to make your basecamp for exploring all of Kenai Peninsula! That means no packing and unpacking your luggage every other day at a new place.

Moose Pass offers an endless amount of hiking trails, lakes for canoeing or kayaking and floatplanes for flightseeing! I highly recommend a picnic on Kenai Lake at Trail River campground on the beach!

Cooper Landing is only 15 miles away, where you can be hiking, kayaking, rafting, bear viewing, or fishing for world class salmon and trout on the Russian River or Kenai River.

Seward is 34 miles away, where you can take a boat to Kenai Fjords National Park and see tidewater glaciers, humpback whales, orcas, sea lions and sea otters. If you prefer, take a boat and go fishing for world class halibut and salmon. Visit the Alaska Sealife Center. Hike up to see Exit Glacier and the Harding Ice Field.

Hope is 39 miles away, where you can raft some class 5 rapids on 6 mile river. The historic town of Hope is an excellent place to visit, the views from the waterfront are a dream. many hiking trails are in the area to explore. If you like live music, The Creekbend has transformed the old Tito's Cafe into one of the best live music scenes in all Alaska on weekends.

Whittier is 55 miles away, where you gain access to Prince William Sound.

Girdwood is 55 miles away, where you can access hiking trails, restaurants, the aerial tram and much more.

Homer is 135 miles away, doable as a day trip for road trip enthusiast.

What makes this property unique

When I bought this property in 2008 there was a lot of finish work the home needed. Fast forward to 2024 and the inside is all redone and modernized with a unique touch, more comfortable than ever before! We've been hosting for 8 years now and after traveling to almost 70 countries in the past 20 years, we know how we like our accommodation set up. Cleanliness is one of the most important aspects and our home is the next level of clean as we do all the cleaning between guests ourselves. I used to work as a chef, so here you'll find one of the most equipped and stocked kitchens in Alaska, with a garden outside in the summer to pick a fresh item or two for your meal.
