There is an outdoor seating area and 2 parking spots per cabin with access to a community fire ring and lake. The following are some of the things to do during your vacation stay.
Hiking at Emerald Lake.
The network of hiking trails on the Kenai Peninsula is, without a doubt, the best in the state. Some, like the Upper Russian Lake Trail, have public-use cabins that can be reserved. The Resurrection and Johnson Pass trails are popular and well-traveled, while others are little more than game trails. The Chinapoot Peak hike in Kachemak Bay State Park takes you straight up 2,600 feet to spectacular vistas, while others, like Crow Pass and Twenty Mile out of Girdwood, take you through rugged mountain passes. Small short hikes can lead to hidden jewels. The Exit Glacier hike in Seward is one example, which leads up to the Harding Ice Field, and the Diamond Creek hike down to a deserted beach just outside of Homer is another. The trail system across Kachemak Bay from Homer leads to an entirely different world of remote adventure. The hikes to Leisure Lake and Emerald Lake from Glacier Spit are two examples of short hikes that take you into seclusion. Trail conditions and levels of difficulty vary, as does the concentration of bears and other wildlife, so it is a good idea to read up on your desired destination.
Bear Viewing.
From mid-May to mid-September, Homer, Alaska is the premier destination for bear viewing in the world. Alaskan brown bears are among the largest in the world, and some of the highest concentrations of Alaskan brown bears are directly west of Homer. You are virtually guaranteed to see bears. Tour operators will pick up in Homer and fly to one of several popular bear viewing destinations, including Lake Clark, Katmai National Park, Bruin Bay, and McNeil River Sanctuary. Flight time is approximately 1 hour each way and highlights some of Alaska’s most spectacular natural scenery along the way.
