About this property

The Price is Right at the Starbright House: Cheery & Quiet Family Home

Please call or email me - Stefanie - I can fill you in on this great house and our full range of guest services and amenities. Cooper Landing Vacation Rentals will take care of you on your vacation of a lifetime!

This 3+BR/2BA home is located conveniently in Cooper Landing, Alaska, central on the Kenai Peninsula to all the places where you'll be adventuring. Built in 2002, used lightly and gently as a summer weekend home since then, and with recent updates, it is clean and fresh, uncluttered and relaxing. Find a comforting and comfortable place to rest and connect right here!

When you first arrive, you'll be drawn to the large upper covered deck, with its impressive mountain view. You'll love to dine al fresco on the deck, BBQ grill at hand, watching sheep grazing distantly on the mountains or enjoying birds in the birdhouse. The deck can be closed off from the stairs with a latching gate, making it toddler-friendly.

The upper level of the house is where you will find the main living room, complete with TV (Internet connectivity only - no satellite or cable to interrupt your vacation), a wood stove, and brand new leather furniture for lounging. Behind the living space, next to the doors leading to the deck, you'll find an excellent eating area, easily seating 6 at a brand new dining set, with great window views to greet you as you sip your morning coffee. The kitchen, outfitted well with everything you need to cook at home, is crisp and clean. Expand your dining and cooking options onto the large, covered deck, where you will find a gas-fired barbeque grill and an outdoor dining set for four.

Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are featured on this upper floor. Each bedroom has a queen bed with brand new memory foam mattresses, fresh and new bedding, and simple touches to inspire relaxation. The bathroom feels fresh and benefits from natural light through a shower window.

The lower level of the house provides a third bedroom, a spare room, and a second bathroom for additional guests. The bedroom has two brand new full beds, each with memory foam mattresses and new bedding. The full bathroom is clean, feeling new with nice fixtures and touches. The extra room in the basement houses a bunk bed with a full bed on the bottom and a twin on the top, a couch for lounging and even a game table.

Downstairs you will also find the full-size washer and dryer.

The lower deck has a swing, perfect for that evening drink, swaying to the sound of the breeze in the forest. The property is bordered by mature spruce forest, in a quiet residential area with the small-town vibe. Enjoy the sound and sights of the extra visitors and residents in the treetop bird houses on property. When wildfire danger is low, enjoy the firebowl out on the lawn.

A short walk, about 1/4 mile, down the quiet road brings you to a public access to beautiful, turquoise Kenai Lake. You'll be reminded of why you chose Cooper Landing for your Alaskan vacation: pure beauty!

Quiet, clean and comfortable

The Starbright House was one of the nicest VRBO properties we have used. The house was in great condition, very clean, well-stocked, and located in a quiet neighborhood. The beds were firm and comfortable. The location made the Starbright House the perfect home base for day trips to Seward, Whittier and all of the Kenai Peninsula.

Fantastic Property

We had a great time and were kept well informed by the host. Added local attractions including trail guides and use of bear spray. Having the washer and dryer were great and worked well. The accommodations were spacious and could sleep several more gusts.

It was great. Plenty of room inside and out. Property manager was awesome. Came face to face with a large brown bear at the cabin. That made the trip it was such a a rush of fear, adrenaline and excitement.

Centrally located

Comfortable house centrally located on the Kenai peninsula. Very family friendly. Having the deck was very nice. My only complaint was there was no mixer, but otherwise we found the kitchen well equipped. I would recommend this house for a family trip to explore the Kenai peninsula or to fish the area.

Cabin near Kenai Lake

Our multi family group stayed here as part of our exploration of the Kenai peninsula. Very beautiful and scenic location — we saw a moose just a couple miles down the road and then skipped rocks on the Kenai Lake. We went hiking at the Russian river and saw the salmon jumping the falls. Thanks again!

Relaxing, private and convenient

We loved our stay at Starbright. The house is roomy and comfortable. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in one of the most beautiful places in the US. Beds were comfy, kitchen well stocked, view of the mountains great and it is very close to favorite activities like hiking, fishing, river floating and eating good food. Stefanie is a great host, easily accessible, knowledgeable and available. She genuinely wants to make sure you enjoy your stay and we surely did. Loved it. Thank you Stefanie!!! The beautiful blue Kenai lake is an easy quarter mile walk down the lane and if you are a dog lover the neighbor's dogs are beautiful and friendly. I would gladly go back there!

About the host

Hosted by Stefanie Lawhorn

Host profile image
I find great satisfaction in making a living space feel clean, comforting and welcoming, especially for our guests. It's a pleasure to host you here!

The owners of this home are devoted to giving you a great vacation rental experience, too. This house is truly a second home - it feels loved and lived in - and they have done so many updates and improvements to the furnishings and feel, wanting you to be as comfortable as possible. You have wonderful hosts when you stay at the Starbright Home!

Why they chose this property

It's my pleasure to only manage a few quality homes at a time, to be able to provide each the personal attention it and its guests deserve. This house is a nice addition to my current management accounts because it's so gently lived in, clean and fresh, has a relaxing atmosphere, and suits a family traveling on a moderate budget.

What makes this property unique

What I like most about this home is the huge covered deck and the porch swing. The birds are very active in the surrounding woods, the breeze is almost always so gentle, and even in a rain, you can stay dry and protected while seeing nature in its majesty. The mountain view from the deck keeps taking my breath away.
