About this property

Paradise found! Your base-camp close to ANC with a HOT TUB and quiet setting.

Secluded and beautifully decorated modern farmhouse-style (think Joanna Gaines!): 5 BEDROOM/2.5 BATH home on secluded 5 wooded, beautiful acres! SLEEPS 15+ (Beds for 14 but air mattresses and couches for more!)

This property is in the ideal location, only minutes from Anchorage (going South) or the Matanuska-Susitna valley (going North)! Whatever direction you go, this home will be a perfect 'middle ground' located only 8 minutes outside of the charming little town of Eagle River, Alaska and 25 minutes from downtown Anchorage. Enjoy the 8 person hot tub right off the back deck and plenty of wildlife such as migratory birds, moose, and even bear that sometimes pass through the property grounds.

This property is a GREAT spot for families with trampoline, zipline, kids playhouse/swing set, books, toys, etc!

The gorgeous master suite with king bed features a gas fireplace, MASSAGE CHAIR, and a balcony with fire table overlooking the beautiful birch tree forest behind the house. Master bath boasts an oversized Jacuzzi tub and walk-in double headed shower. Relax and unwind after Alaskan adventures around the fire pit or enjoy a dinner on the large back deck.

Open floor plan, formal dining room (seats 6 comfortably), smaller dining nook (seats 6), incredible, well stocked gourmet kitchen, and large yard with play set and trampoline makes this home great for large parties or families with children! Separate family room with reclining sectional is a great place to curl up and enjoy a movie or apple tv with surround sound.

This amazing home offers the prime location for your Alaskan experience without sacrificing luxury or amenities! The grounds are beautifully landscaped making it an excellent all-in-one location for large gatherings, parties or events! This home has even successfully hosted weddings! Beautiful spot for any occasion! You can have it all with this property.

Great Family Trip Home
There were 6 of us all adults. Dad, family female friend, brother, sister, brother-in-law and myself really needed 5 separate bedrooms & I didn’t realize the 5th bedroom was inside the master bedroom. Everything was super cozy & well decorated. We loved the see through fireplace, hot tub & fire pit area. Lots of areas to spread out & enjoy outdoors. The hosts are very nice & quick to respond. We would highly recommend for any family going to visit Alaska. It was a great central point to checking out a lot of Alaska by train & car. Plus we had a great deep sea fishing trip too.

Alaska Destination Wedding
In early August, our son married his beautiful bride, who is from Alaska. Our family traveled up for their Destination wedding and we booked this beautiful home for our family to stay at while we were there. There was plenty of room for us to move around and we enjoyed every aspect of the home. Everything about the house and large yard was enjoyable and we would definitely book again! Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your home!

The perfect spot before an Alaskan cruise
our entire family - 3 generations - stayed here. It is perfect. We spend a few days exploring central Alaska before taking the train to Seward to board a cruise ship. the house is just ideal - plenty of room, well appointed kitchen, great, private location. I could go on. I'd stay here again for sure the next time we are in Alaska.

Virginia to Alaska Family Vacay
Truly enjoyed our stay. We had 11 family members - all adults - staying together. The house came equipped with everything we needed - including spices, shampoos, detergent. Perfect place for visiting the Anchorage area. We day-tripped to several other towns. Even saw a moose in the front yard! Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Preston

Host profile image
We are the Preston family! We love all things Alaskan and enjoy the many various opportunities this amazing state has to offer! Charles was born and raised in Homer, Ak and moved to the Anchorage area In his early 20s. Jessica grew up in California and moved to Alaska with her father when she was 17. Charles and Jessica have four kids and have settled just outside of Anchorage in the beautiful community of Eagle River. They love family dinners on the back deck, hot tubbing together after a day of berry picking or ATV’ing, and also spend quite a bit of time around the fire pit roasting marshmallows. For the Prestons, Alaska is home.

What makes this property unique

The property sits on 5 acres and backs up to 400 acres of land with trails winding back through the woods. This is the perfect location between Anchorage and the Valley where you don’t have to sacrifice luxury and still have plenty of privacy tucked away in beautiful Birchwood. We have Ring doorbell camera at the front door. For additional security and theft deterrence we have left multiple security cameras up around the exterior of our home.; however they are NOT currently active.
