Eagle's Nest Cabin on Salmon Creek

Welcome to our cozy, custom home just outside beautiful Seward, Alaska! Located along what locals call Eagle Alley, the property sits on Salmon Creek is the perfect location for your whole family's Alaskan adventures. Its on a quiet street away from the bustle of town, but still close for a quick trip to the store, Exit Glacier, or the Sea Life Center. You'll be surrounded by mountain views and access to a rushing river with spawning salmon all summer. Salmon Creek attracts many bald eagles, and they are often seen fishing. Most years, a nest is built in the cottonwood on the river. If active, you'll see chicks in the nest in June or July. By August they'll be pretty confident in flight. We often have moose wander through the property and even the occasional brown bear can be seen in the creek when the salmon are thick.

The house features vaulted wood ceilings, 1st floor bathroom, 2nd floor master bathroom, and on-site laundry. The attached 3-season room (or "arctic entry" as they are know here) offers an outdoor dining area or place to store wet clothes or fishing gear. You will find a queen bed in the upstairs master bedroom and 1st floor bedroom, and twin bunk beds in the 3rd bedroom. All bedroom windows have thick curtains for blocking out Alaska's midnight sun. The house is on the smaller side at 1,000sf but vaulted ceilings, huge windows, and large yard give it a spacious feel.

The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, utensils, knife set, cutting boards, and bowls/cups/plates. For appliances you'll find a microwave, stove/oven, toaster, coffee maker/grinder (filters and whole bean coffee are supplied), and full size refrigerator/freezer. We stock a choice of coffees, selection of tea, cooking oil, and common spices. Outside, there is a fire pit and Webber charcoal grill (charcoal is supplied).

The forested property has walking paths that wind through patches of wild strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. You'll find a fire-pit with benches and a charcoal grill. Bicycles are available if you want to take a spin through the neighborhood or take the nearby bike path into town.

The yard is a typical rural Alaskan yard: lots of alder, low bushy willow, an old shed, devil's club, dandelion, a winnebago, and fireweed. In other words, a little wild, a little junky, but excellent moose browse and cover. Moose don't browse or feel comfortable browsing lawns. Besides, south-central Alaska is like a jungle in the summer, and although there is a lawn of sorts and plenty of room for the fire pit, a game of cornhole, or even a round of kickball, the yard is not well manicured and is a work in progress.

There is an owner occupied cabin on the far side of the one acre property. We're available to chat and answer questions outside of our summer jobs, or available anytime via phone or message.

House Rules:
At least one person from each party should read the house manual upon arrival.

The house is on a private well and septic system. The tap water is great: double filtered, fresh, and clean tasting. The septic system requires care to ensure no oil or food enter the drains. Wipe out oily pans with paper towels and throw away.

Quiet hours are 10pm-8am. Ours is a peaceful quiet neighborhood. No outdoor music/yelling during quiet hours. Parties are not allowed.

Children should be supervised near the creek.

Wildlife uses the property and has "right of way". Do not approach any wildlife on the property or anywhere in Alaska. We have never had any issue and the neighborhood is safe for children, but we ask visitors simply to be aware of their surroundings. Eagles and their nests are federally protected, it is against the law to disturb a nest, eagles, or a nest tree.

We have a can of "Bear Spray" available if you want to carry it while hiking in the area. Please return it to the porch when you are done. We ask that bear spray not be brought inside the house.

Great location with lots of privacy!
We stayed here as 2 couples anreally liked the remoteness. We met Carl and he was very friendly and helpful. The house was well stocked and the whole coffee beans were a real hit. The appliances seemed really new which we liked. We loved wathing the bald eagle. We missed seeing the bear although one was around during the night. We would definitely recommend this place to others.

Wonderful stay
This was a lovely property, very close to town, but far enough away to be out of chaos. The creek was beautiful. The property had everything we needed. Wish we could have stayed longer, would stay here again if we were to make it to Seward again. The owner was real personable, we enjoyed chatting with him.

That's a real moose!
First of all, that's a real moose on his picture (not a statue)! Very cozy rustic Alaskan home. Owner very good at communicating. The place was very clean and as described. Eagle's Nest is a great description as there are many eagles in the area - we even saw one (maybe more) while there. Location is very convenient to Seward.

Eagles eagles eagles
We loved this home and the area around it. I've never seen so many bald eagles in my life and I am an active birder and go out looking for them frequently where I live (they are common here in New England also). There were constantly bald eagles flying overhead. We took many short walks to the stream to find more eagles on the sandbars or in the trees overhead. The 'abandoned' eagles nest had one or two eagles perched there most of the time we were there....a short walk to the RR tracks by Salmon Creek road led to an rea with 50+ eagles in the trees....it was amazing to view. The home itself was right-sized for our group of 5--very clean and had everything we needed for our short stay.

Perfect, authentic Alaskan experience! No TV but we played cards and enjoyed the wilderness. Reminded me of my Grandma’s house. If you want The Waldorf Astoria, dont stay here. If you want an opportunity to live like an Alaskan, this is your place.

I have no idea how this property was vetted! It beyond disgusting. Too many things to list including a lack of sanitized bathroom supplies, poor plumbing, broken dresser, overgrown stressed property full of garbage. Video and pictures available. We want a call from VRBO because this was a complete and utter misrepresentation of the property. It was LARCENY!!!
