Vacation home privacy with a hotel-clean vibe and natural bath products. Visit our equines, view our beehive, and watch the shorebirds and eagles float past your window on the updraft. Close to beach access, world-class fishing, horse and ATV trails, nordic skiing, birding, sunsets, and stargazing. Completely non-smoking property, inside and out. The Lookout is brand new construction (2024-2025) and the landscaping is still a work in progress. 2025 visitors can expect to see some outside areas under construction. This unit has a 750 gallon water cistern and a 55 gallon hot water tank. We refill the cistern weekly, but please be conscientious of your water usage if you choose to book with us. Extremely long showers may require time between to wait for the hot water to recharge. We have a small capacity high-efficiency laundry center available in the unit for guests to use. We launder all bedding between guests, every time. We are conveniently located off the Sterling Highway. While the Lookout is tucked back from the road with a private feel, you can faintly hear passing cars along with the waves from the beach below when the tide is right and the winds are up. The driveway is circular and can accommodate multiple vehicles and trailers. Please let us know if you will be driving anything very large, so we can set you up for success. The Old Cannery Ranch is located on traditional Dena'ina lands in the community of Clam Gulch. This property was once the site of a fish cannery that burned down in 1979. A book about the history of homesteading in Clam Gulch and the Cannery years is located in the Lookout. We purchased the property in 2020 and converted it into our small ranch. We have 2 resident equines, Klaus the Fjord horse and Firefly the WonderMule. Our ranch is directly across the highway from the Clam Gulch winter trails. This is a popular recreation area for snow machines, mushers, backcountry nordic skiing, and fat tire biking. In winter, you can access these trails by crossing the highway from your unit. The summer trail access is a few minute drive to the south, and has a large parking lot for trailers. It is a great area to ride ATVs and horses, in addition to the local beach access a few minutes to the north of the ranch. 15 minute drive to the Pollard Horse Trail, and 10 minutes to incredible salmon fishing on the Kasilof River. The nearby community of Ninilchik offers halibut fishing charters, 18 minutes south. Soldotna is 30 minutes north and has the nearest large grocery store. Nearest gas and small groceries are roughly 15 minutes to the north and south, in Kasilof and Ninilchik. Ninilchik offers some fabulous fishing charter trips. Homer is 1 hour south, and has many activities for tourists and naturalists. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate dogs and other pets. Please ask us if you are traveling with equines, we may have an option for you. No fish processing is allowed onsite, but we can direct you to local state recreation areas with facilities. Fish must be processed and packaged properly before coming inside / going into the fridge or freezer. All guests and day visitors must be registered with us; parties are not allowed. Onsite events need to be arranged. No open flames inside or out; bluff wildfires are the worst, and our property can be windy—which is great for keeping the mosquitos at bay (we enjoy more bug-free outdoor living than much of Alaska). We require guests to cook particularly greasy or smoky foods like bacon or fried fish outside on the grill, which has a flat top and a cast iron skillet. Any residual cooking odors or grease inside the Lookout will result in an additional cleaning charge. Guests are required to follow our cleaning product guidelines. It is all brand new, let's work together to keep it nice for others to enjoy! No outside cleaning products (this includes dish soap and laundry soap). No scented sprays, air fresheners, plug-ins, fabric sprays, etc. out of courtesy to guests coming after you who may be sensitive to the chemicals in these products. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Electric kettle - Hob - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Local artist showcase - Local culture and ecosystem education - Unit size: 560 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76420000/76413100/76413077/82177177.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private cabin, 5 minutes from the Kasilof Boat Launch!
