Private Alaskan Wilderness Park Kayaking Dream Lodge

Homer, Alaska, United States

Sailwood Adventures is your connection to private wilderness lodging in backcountry Alaska. Surrounded by thick forest and waterfalls; La Caleta (meaning “safe cove” in Spanish) is a clean, comfortable step into wild waterfront living. This cottage was designed to bring people together to enjoy the protection and whimsey of this small cove. brThis wilderness property is not on the road system, so round trip water taxi service will be an added cost to your lodging quote. At the time, I will have to manually build your quote to add transportation charges to your lodging fees to reflect the total charges for your visit. Please do not click the book it now button until we have communicated and we are ready for the quote to be accepted. brThe main building of La Caleta is an open two level layout with sleeping quarters upstairs. The sleeping arrangement is open style with one set of bunk beds, a double bed, and 3 single beds. brThe lower portion is devoted for the living room and dining room with full kitchen. A large wrap around deck joins the separate bathouse which houses a shower and sauna. A fleet of Sea Kayaks and safety gear are all a part of your brstay at La Caleta. Sea Kayaks are a dream for traveling along the shoreline with sea otters, while watching eagles and bears forage for food. br The tempo of the tides and nature rejuvenate your spirit and allow time for wandering. The water access provides many hours of exploring by foot or Kayak towards the head of Sadie Cove. Relaxing activities as tidepooling, beach combing, clam and mussel gathering, sailing, fishing, and cooking fresh meals allow quality time with family and friends. br Sailwood Adventures can provide total support for your trip. We can help with all the logistics,from water taxi transportation, to state park access, complete with guiding services for hiking, kayaking and mt. biking. If a self designed wilderness adventure with the comforts of seaside living sound interesting to you, contact us for further details. brbrbrKeywords: Lodge, Sleeps 2-8, kayaking, fishing, hiking, sauna, fresh seafood, family time, empty nesters, state park

Private Vacation Home

Unique sense of place to decompress and rejuvenate. Quiet stunning beauty.

Homer, Alaska, United States

Luxury year-round retreat for large families, groups, executive teams, wellness retreat, friends, or a romantic getaway for the two of you to focus on each other. Alaskan wilderness feel in exquisite comfort with all amenities and then some. Expansive views in all directions from the warmth of all wood-paneled custom-designed interior. See multiple glaciers across the bay in full view. This home is like no other - every room is finished in wood. Ceilings, walls, floors of hickory, pine and oak constructed with the finest craftmanship. The warm feel of wood, the in-floor hydronic heat and rustic lighting create the ultimate unplugged experience. Yes there is satellite internet, but no land-line and no cell signal. brUpstairs Master suite and loft for romance or quiet contemplation. Large stone fireplace and cathedral ceiling great room with mood lighting. Chef’s kitchen and 10 seat dining table. Two guest bedrooms and full bath on both main level and downstairs walk-out basement. br80 acre lot that is adjacent to thousands of acres of state land for snow mobiling, cross country skiing, hunting and hiking. Private retreat on year round maintained road. Hear the beat of bald eagle wings from large deck or view moose grazing peacefully. Fields of colorful wild flowers in summer.brThe house is not off the grid - there is electricity and a buried propane storage tank for energy. The wood burning fireplace with air circulation fan contributes to the ambiance and warmth of this chalet-style home. In the warm summer, windows and a breeze serve as air conditioning. Each bedroom has individual temperature control (heating) separate from the common areas.brGuests arrive up the wooden stairs to a large covered porch. There is a large stack of firewood ready to go. The unique double oak doors help keep in heat when restocking the fire. Inside is a small tiled floor area in front of the coat closet for removing boots or shoes, but the rest of the main and upper floors are dark oak hardwood (except bathrooms, which are tiled, as is all of the lower level). brThe upstairs consists of a master suite and a sitting loft. The master suite has a queen bed, dresser, full length mirror and large his/her closet. Two nightstands each with individual reading lights on dimmer control. Also a hidden storage space. The master bath has a large shower and twin sinks. The master suite has vaulted ceiling with intricate wood rafters, beams, and a ceiling fan. The master bedroom windows face east, and the long twilight in the mornings and evenings, coupled with the silence that surrounds, give guests such peace and serenity that you never want to get up. But morning coffee sipped in the sitting loft with two large leather chairs is a great start to another day of decompression and rejuvenation. This loft has soft lighting on dimmers to give you just the right mood to relax. brThe main floor has two bedrooms and a 3/4 bath. Each bedroom has a queen bed, large closet, dresser, and night stands with lamps. The great room has comfortable leather chairs and a couch for gathering around the stone fireplace. There is a large deck accessed from the great room. The dining area has a large wood table and 10 chairs. Great room lighting controls allow guests to adjust to their mood and taste, from very bright to the softest almost dark setting. Lighting controls include the ability to illuminate the huge rafters and beams on dimmer, outside lights to see falling snow, and dimmer controlled wall fixtures. There is also a ceiling fan. brThe outdoor deck is a place all its own. Guests can stand out there or sit in one of the deck chairs and enjoy coffee in the morning or wine in the afternoon and hear the sound of silence and a soft breeze. The deck is a great place for yoga in the warmer months. Gaze across to three glaciers and mountains and a glimpse of the bay through the trees while you practice your asanas. There is a large (12) Dobsonian telescope that can be moved to the deck for stargazing in the darker months.brThe kitchen is a chef's dream. Six-burner Wolf gas range w/ griddle, and two ovens, one convection. The gas broiler makes steaks like the best steak houses. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality pans, pots, knives, cooking utensils etc. There is a large pot for steaming the Bering Sea King Crab that can be purchased at Coal Point Seafood in Homer - it might even come from the Time Bandit crab boat of the TV series World's Deadliest Catch. There is also a HUGE wooden salad bowl for Cesar or other delectable creation. There is a coffee grinder, french press, drip machine, and espresso percolator to enjoy gourmet coffee as you desire. The kitchen layout provides plenty of work space for multiple cooks to convene and contribute - but PLEASE only cut/ chop with one of the cutting boards: the finished wood countertops are only beautiful if we can keep errant knives from damaging them! There is a disposal, dishwasher and wine cooler. Large Telescope for stargazing. brThe lower level has two bedrooms, two gathering areas equipped with a pool table, games, and smart TV. There is also a storage room (skis etc.), and a full bath with a large soaking tub. It is easy to grab the skis or snowshoes and walk out the lower level into nature's paradise.The utility room has a washer and dryer. brThe house is just off the road, but screened by alder bushes. There is a small community of Russian old believers a mile down the road called Razdolna, and there is an occasional car, ATV or snow mobile. But for the most part there is silence. The road provides year round access. It is a good quality dirt road. The house is 3.6 miles from the asphalt of East End road (mile marker 19).brThe lot is 80 acres. The house sits in the middle of the south 40 acres. A recreational access road divides the south 40 from the north 40 - there is a recreational parking area about a half mile to the northeast of the property where snowmobilers park. There is also a hiking trail (10km) to Caribou Lake. In the winter, just strap on X-C skis and go for miles into the wilderness, or bring your snow machine and go forever. Family retreat, executive retreat, romantic nest, woman-castle or man-cave: this house can serve as all the above. You will not experience anything like it - from the wood to the views to the sound of silence anywhere else.
