6 Bedroom House in Nikiski, Kenai

Make memories at a unique family-friendly place. Evenson Heritage's Studio Retreat is a private, 150-acre nature preserve surrounded by water and wildlife. This historic Alaskan homestead is an all-inclusive resort with spacious rooms, amenities, and activities for groups, including fishing, boating, a small putting green, and a hot tub with a view of 2 lakes. The home is also rich in family history, having seen 3 generations of commercial fishermen and displaying the Evenson's stunning art.
The space
The lodge can be divided into three areas totaling 4,500 square feet of interior space. It features a common day area with a lounge, dining, and kitchen; four private rooms; a game/movie room; and private guest quarters. There is space for multiple vehicles or motorhome and boat parking, private entries, a small putting green, lakefront picnic, and gathering areas. In addition to the private rooms, there are additional spaces with beds perfect for families and groups wanting to share space.
Guest access
Guests have access to the whole home with exception of entering the garage. Guests are also asked not to enter the barn, which is separate from the home. Use of the lakes is allowed, with respect to rules such as no littering and no motors on one of the two lakes. Exploring the land and lakes is at your own risk and liability.
Other things to note
Before checkout, we ask guests to leave beds that have been used unmade, and dirty towels on the floor so that cleaners know easily what is clean and dirty. We also ask that guests do their dishes (leaving clean dishes in the dishwasher is fine) and take the garbage out to the provided cans.
We allow golfing on the putting green but ask that you be respectful, don't ruin property, and don't golf into the lakes.
