Great location, the cabin is awesome. Truly a special place. Make sure and grab a bag of marshmallows, because relaxing by the fire pit on the lake beachfront, skipping stones with the kids is one of those memories that'll stick with ya. The cabin has all the comforts you could want, and its an easy drive to Seward, tons of great hiking trails, and some of the most beautiful sights
We loved this house! The distance from Seward was exactly what we were wanting. A bit secluded but not terribly far from town. The lake was beautiful amd we enjoyed reading the history of the home in the information book!
The log cabin was truly a delight. This is one of the best rental home experiences that we have ever had. The log home was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. I cannot recommend this rental more, my only hesitation is that it will become so popular that I will not be able to book it again.
This was hands down one of the best vrbos/hotels etc we have ever stayed at. The home was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The rooms are plenty comfortable, there are plenty of beds and bathrooms, and the laundry room is a lifesaver. The hosts are also fantastic and went out of their way to be helpful on one minor mishap I completely self-inflicted. However, more than all that, the home is beautiful and on perhaps one of the most beautiful spots on the Kenai peninsula. We completely loved our stay and were thrilled with our choice to be outside of the town itself. It's approximately 20 minutes from everything in Seward for when you do feel like seeing other humans, but feels completely isolated with the wilds of Alaska to yourself when you don't feel like seeing other humans. We had campfires on the beach, spent hours skipping rocks, and enjoyed many morning coffees in the yard and evening glasses of wine on the beach. There are plenty of fishing rods and reels, bear spray, bug spray, folding chairs, etc. The only thing I will say is to bring an eye mask - as an adult with 40 years of equator circadian rhythm ingrained in my body - I struggled with the Alaska sun in my bed at 11pm. Otherwise, this house was the best part of our Kenai adventure! (oh and the train is nothing! it comes by 2x a day in the middle of the day with tourists - it's NOT a commercial train like we have here at home)
We booked our stay at the Glaser’s cabin about a year in advance; and the anticipation of our family’s first trip to Alaska was intense! We arrived and, quite frankly, did not ever want to leave. The location of the cabin was ideal. Even with road construction, it was only an extra 20 minutes into and out of Seward. Not really a big deal. The location on the lake was absolutely breathtaking. We loved skipping rocks, enjoying bonfires in the fire pit, exploring the Victor Creek river bed as it flows into Kenai Lake, taking naps on the grass in the sunshine… truly this place is idyllic. The beds were comfortable and the showers were hot. We made dinner several nights at the cabin; we loved the grill, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our son had the best time waving to the train conductor each time it passed and he would toot the train horn hahaha!! So amazing. We can’t wait to be back. Thank you so much!
Our family (2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 2 kids) stayed here and enjoyed our time here. Out the back of this cabin is a short walk to the gorgeous, quiet Lake Kenai. There is a nice little beach area and fishing gear was provided- we didn't catch anything but spent a few pleasant hours trying and enjoying the view. A little farther walk away is a beautiful riverbed leading into the lake- wide open area with no one else there and we saw a bald eagle sitting on a fallen tree when we arrived; there is also a view of a mountain with a glacier- drop dead gorgeous place.
The house was very clean and well appointed. The twin bed is on the small downstairs landing outside 2 of the bedrooms and a bathroom so wouldn't work for someone easily disturbed- our 8 year old slept here and loved it though.
Just be aware that the nearest real grocery store is in Seward and with the current roadworks it can add a lot of time to what your GPS says. But, if you want a peaceful place with a gorgeous view and between Cooper Landing and Seward this is a good option.
We had a great time during our visit. Steward was an amazing place to visit. Lots to do and see. Rays Waterfront was a great restaurant that we ate at. Took a 7.5 hour cruise through the national Park to see Northwestern glacier. Took another cruise in Whittier. They both were great. All kinds of hiking trails to accommodate whatever kind of hiking you like. The trail behind the cabin that leads to the Delta was breathtaking. Beautiful views there along with the eagles. The location of the cabin worked with our itinerary. The cabin was clean. The kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfortable. Marion and Jesse created a paradise. If he ever head back to Alaska we will definitely stay there again.
The property itself was beautiful, and the view was amazing. The host was quick to respond with trip suggestions and to answer any questions we had. We had a great experience here.

Absolutely wonderful place
What a joy to stay in this property! It fits the bill for a large group and is close to everything, including your own access to the lake and nearby trails. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful Cabin, Great Location on the water, owner wonderful to work with
It was a pleasure staying at this cabin in the woods. It had everything we needed and the owners were great to work with. Easy access to Seward and right on the water.
We loved the privacy and beauty of this location. The daily train was a huge hit with our grandson. The lake and nearby trails were enjoyed by all and the house was nicely outfitted. Thank you for sharing your story and your lovely home with our family. It helped make this part of our vacation memorable.
Amazing cabin on the lake. Easy drive to Seward to eat, shop, and fish. Nice weather to hang out on the back patio. Cool to see the train pass by several time a day. Spent several day just hanging out down by the lake.
We loved it! Do not hesitate to book. The cabin is close to Seward and is in a beautiful area. We hope to return again.

The house was amazing. It was super comfortable and absolutely beautiful.
We really enjoyed our stay. Marion took care of every request in a prompt manner. The house is gorgeous and having the lake right down a short path on the back of the house was perfect (breathtaking views). We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Excellent accommodations
If your looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy some amazing Alaskan scenery then you have found what your looking for. Marion and Jesse have created a wonderful atmosphere to begin whatever ever your Alaska experience may be. You will find everything you will need for your home away from home in this comfy cabin with easy access to Seward and the Kenai Peninsula. We look forward to our next stay, thank you.
The house is great. Many neat touches. Owners spent a lot of time and effort to make a nice home. Crossing the railroad tracks to get to lake added to the experience. Only item that makes us not give it a 10 rating is the stairs to the door from parking area. Suggestion would be a landing area to manage luggage and top stair needs to be leveled.
We had a wonderful stay at your property. Everything was immaculately kept. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. Thank you for opening your home to our family. Marion even had a pack and play and highchair which were extremely helpful!
The cabin was really top notch - had everything we could think of. Perfect place, about 50-yards to the lake where you can build fire and relax on water's edge. The entire cabin is very clean, tidy with all of the amenities - nothing was out of place. 15 minute drive into town where we could shop for groceries, eat out or catch a fishing boat to the bay. Hiking trails everywhere - would come back and stay here year round if we could! Thanks Marion!
