The open-concept great room invites relaxation with a fireplace, wet bar, coffee station, 75" smart TV, and plenty of seating—perfect for gathering after a day of adventure. Large windows flood the home with natural light, while blackout shades ensure peaceful sleep during Alaska’s endless summer days. Need a quieter space?

The kitchen is fully equipped, and an extra fridge/freezer in the utility room makes it easy to store your fresh catch or groceries. There's also a laundry room, workspace, fenced yard, and garage with a long driveway—perfect for groups or families. Upstairs, the master suite offers a king bed, Jacuzzi tub, and double shower for a spa-like experience. Three additional queen bedrooms share a full bath stocked with essentials.
