Avis Pepper Creek Cabin Located On Its Own Private Beach!

Pepper Creek Cabin was everything I'd hoped for, and more. Off the grid, no distractions from TVs, internet or text. Just pure serenity. We seen tons of starfish a few Sea Lions, caught some Rockfish off the kayak and collected some Sea glass off the beach. Water Taxi out of Millers Landing was perfect for going back and forth during different activities. Thanks Jeff and Levi!!!

Loved our stay! Such a beautiful location:) the host was super helpful.

We loved staying at Pepper Creek cabin. It was on the beach and right by a stream. It was lovely falling asleep to the sound of the stream at night. We went out in the kayaks with the guide, Levi. I enjoyed walking along the beach with the kids, looking at the star fish. My husband enjoyed some hiking. We would definitely stay here again.

Pepper Cabin is in an amazing location and even though it rained for most of our two days, we really enjoyed the experience. It helped having two energized teenagers who were into the adventure. This is not an easy place to stay - you really need to be prepared w every food item and water you might need. The location is very humid. Almost nothing that got wet dried well. Kayaking was spectacular but the water is very cold and potentially dangerous if you fall in. So that’s not a casual activity. There is a propane heater in he cabin that worked very well as did the two burner stove.

The original reservation was for the Wolf Ridge Cabin, but a week before our trip I hurt back and would not be able to pull myself and gear up that specific trail. And because I'm stubborn, I was not going to miss out on this trip. I contacted Jeff and inquired about switching our dates and our cabin. He had no issue and quickly had our reservation switched. We stayed for two nights in the Pepper Creek Cabin and it was better than the photos. It has had some improvements that are not shown in the listing. It has a large window that is located creek side that gives you an absolutely beautiful view overlooking the creek. Other things have been moved and changed but the window is the most notable. It rained the entire time so we stayed nestled up next to that window and enjoyed the view. The compostable toilet around back is, well, I'll say an experience that I didn't really mind. The other option was the outhouse up the stairs, which I couldn't handle very well with my back. We wanted to get away and not be bothered and that's what we got. It was fantastic.

This cabin is down near the beach, so you get the best of all water sounds - waves and the river! This is definitely the easiest cabin to reach, you don't have to go up the stairs and hike to get to it. The views are still pretty great, since you're right on the beach. All beds are loft beds, which provides a little more room, but don't sit up too fast! Our family stayed in this one and they had a great time. It was a bit of a trek up to the main lodge, but not a problem for our younger crew. This would be a good one to rent if you weren't using the main lodge and didn't want to deal with the hike.

First off, we had an amazing time on the property and I do highly recommend for the more adventurous traveler. I was caught off guard by a couple things that I thought could have improved our stay had we been given a heads up. The Pepper Creek Cabin is 1 of 4 of the cabins on the property, being the closest to the beach and where the boat will drop you off. The beach is shared with the other cabins, but it's plenty big and it was fun to talk to the neighbors! If you are staying at any of the other cabins, I would highly recommend NOT brining roller bags as you will have to carry them up a giant/ steep/ slippery stair case along the mountainside. The cabins are heated by wood burning stoves which can be tedious to keep going. It also causes the upper loft to become extremely hot (and sometimes smokey) while the downstairs remained on the cooler side. It would have been nice if there were extra blankets. Temperature regulation was a constant issue for our group of 4 and I feel that if only 2 people had stayed in the cabin, it would have been much more comfortable. You bring in all your own drinking water and will wash your dishes with the water from the river that's right next to your cabin... Just keep in mind that if you pee in the outhouse behind your cabin, guess where it is flowing in to... Speaking of the outhouse- You are required to pack up and take out all of your solid waste (aka poop) and any TP used. This was very surprising and to avoid having to do this, we trekked up the steep stairs to use the out house at the top of the hill (about a 5 minute climb). It wasn't a problem for us, but just something to keep in mind if you don't want to carry your poop back on the boat with you! Levi was the property manager and was extremely helpful in helping us get our wood stove started and answering questions and was very available for any issues. Of note- the "alpine trail" could hardly be called that and I would not recommend for young children or those with fear of heights. It requires the use of ropes to pull yourself up the slippery slope and is very muddy and the trail was water covered up to my shins in some places. This could have just been from the amount of rain they had while we were there, but I would plan to get wet and muddy! We did use the kayaks while there when the sun came out for a brief moment and was awesome! Overall, highly recommend a stay here if you're up to a more "wild" experience!

My husband and I wanted a true Alaska getaway and this was just it! The cabin was comfortable, the manager was VERY knowledgeable and helpful, and the beach, ocean, sea kayaks, and wildlife were amazing! Even though we slept on a cozy bed at night, it was still "camping" without running water or electricity, so that was fun for us! We were also blessed with great neighbors (there are 3 other cabins here, so other people share the beach, and we loved ours!) Would highly recommend!

We arrived to find our quaint cabin cleaned and well stocked for our time there. We were expecting the bare minimum, but what we found certainly surpassed that. For example, we came prepared with a can of bear spray, only to find 4 cans full and recently checked. The kitchen accommodations were fantastic with a full 7 piece cooking set and a 2 burner stove/oven combo. Note, you won’t be able to cook a full thanksgiving dinner, but a whole chicken or small pizza will fit just fine inside the oven, but we found ourselves using the charcoal grill more than anything else. One word of advice, when the host says to bring bottled water, he’s right, as there is none available on site. However we brought our pump style water filter system and the creek water was amazing through it. The wood stove in the cabin was more than enough to heat the cabin without us having to turn on the propane furnace, even when it dropped into the 40’s. Jeff was amazing to work with and had good advice, if you call him in advanced of your trip. Levi, the on-site caretaker was very attentive to our needs and was always there to bring us more firewood for the wood stove when needed, or anything else that he was able to help us with. We saw tons of wildlife, including whales, sea otters, seals, fish, and plenty of birds. If you want a fabulous Alaska experience, this cabin is highly recommended.

We stayed at Pepper Creek Cabin, the cabin closest to the private beach. There are other cabins on the property higher up in the woods. Everything is spaced so that there is maximum privacy - except for a shared outhouse. For those staying higher up in the woods or using the outhouse, there are a lot of steps. I am 50 and in descent shape and had no issues going up the stairs several times a day. There are sea kayaks, paddle boards, fishing poles and an Alpine hiking trail (steep, but beautiful) on the property. We enjoyed all of the activities. We had fires on the beach and enjoyed whale watching (saw one while we were there). We also saw sea otters and a bald eagle. There is a 30 minute water taxi ride out to the property-also fun. The property manager, Levi, was on site to answer any questions. He was also available to give us a quick lesson on the sea kayaks as we had not used them before. Staying at the property felt like a real “Alaska experience” for our family, it was the highlight of our vacation to AK.
