Unique Schoolie on a float plane lake in North Kenai.

Located on a beautiful lake teeming with wildlife. Sandhill cranes come to nest and raise their babies every summer, along with swans, ducks and the inevitable eagles. Moose wander the property, along with a herd of domestic goats & chickens. The Schoolie is equipped with a cozy wood stove, the most comfortable king size bed, a kitchenette with a small fridge, microwave, & Kurig coffee maker. A comfortable seating area with views of the lake. There’s a grill off the front, or you can use the cooking grate over the fire pit. The Schoolie is minimalist , we have electricity but no running water, there’s a clean outhouse nearby. For those LONG Alaskan summer days we have blackout curtains running the entire length of the bus. It is a perfect landing place for all your Alaskan adventures. We are just a couple short miles from some of the most beautiful beaches, a short jaunt to town whether it be Nikiski or Kenai. There is laundry facilities close by, you can shower at our local pool facilities, there are multiple walking paths and trail systems within a couple of miles. If you want a unique and affordable Alaskan experience you have to see this property to believe it. Immerse yourself in a truly Alaskan getaway.

Peaceful Getaway
We were so pleased with our accommodations! The owners gave clear directions to the property and the bus was warm and toasty when we arrived. The bus is stocked with every convenience that you may need, firewood, cookware, tableware, grilling tools, seasonings, lighters and matches, towels, spare blankets, etcetera. However you are a 15 minute drive away from your choice of supermarkets if you do forget or need anything. It was a chilly Alaskan autumn during our stay but the bus is equipped with a wood burning stove that keeps it very comfortable. The interior feels spacious and the bed is super soft. The goats greeted us upon our arrival and walked us right over to the bus. They were super friendly and fun to watch and hang out with. It was lovely to take the kayaks out as well as sit by the fire and watch the float planes. I would highly recommend the schoolie to anyone who doesn't mind walking to an outhouse. It's a step up from camping and we really enjoyed having so much property to ourselves for the privacy, solitude, and tranquility.

Feels as though you are on a bird preserve as swans, geese, ducks and Sandhill cranes drop into the water directly in front of you~ It’s magical

Camping paradise
If you like camping and doing things outside you will love this location. View float planes coming and going! Very quiet and peaceful spot we would most definitely do a repeat!

Special Little Farm Stay
Staying the night in the ole Schoolie on the edge of the water felt like a step back into a simpler time. Goats bleating, rooster crowing and the sounds of the float planes taking off in distance. A very uniquely Alaskan stay. Very clean and many nice accommodations make this a spot we will return to again. Thank you!
