About this house rental
Providing the perfect mix of rustic outdoors and modern amenities, our Seldovia house offers guests all the comforts of home, alongside breathtaking wilderness adventures. Whether you’re looking to hunt or fish, boat or kayak, hike some glorious trails, bird watch or just relax on the spacious deck and enjoy nature, Rocky Ridge Retreat has everything you need. This custom-built, 2,000 sq. ft. home was completed in 2018, featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen with beautiful soapstone countertops, a Quadrafire woodstove and custom woodworking throughout. It sleeps up to 10 guests. The open floor-plan makes this a great gathering space.
The house sits on 40 acres, providing optimum privacy and seclusion, yet is also just a short walk or drive to downtown Seldovia, and mere minutes from the airport and harbor. Seldovia is located on the Kenai Peninsula, south of Kachemak Bay. There are no roads to this quaint and eclectic town, but it can easily be accessed via air, ferry, or water taxi from Homer.
Of note, Rocky Ridge Retreat is a remote home. Services such as internet and landline phone are unavailable at this location. We do leave a Verizon iphone for emergencies and local contacts. Sometimes hotspot can be obtained with the iphone. However, internet services are free in the village at several locations including the Seldovia Public Library, Seldovia Harbormaster Office, and several restaurants. We ask our guests to be mindful of water usage as we also have a slow filling well and septic system. The holding tank for water will be filled with 1000 gallons upon guest arrival, but requires a manual refill when low. Owners should be called on the house iphone if there are any problems during the stay. Campfires are allowed in the campfire pit when local burn bans are not in effect.

Loved it! The home was beautiful as always. Bear came through the yard that we watched from the many big windows. Caught lots of Halibut, saw orcas and humpback whales and the kids loved walking to town to play at the playground. We’ve stayed here a few times now and it’s always perfect. Thanks so much for a great experience!

Beautiful home. Kitchen was fully stocked. We had an amazing stay. Thank you for the small touches in your home. Owners were fast to respond. Thank you for the bottle of wine and chocolate meant so much.

We stayed for a long weekend with family from out of town and loved every minute of our stay. The house and property were beautiful. The kids loved the fire pit, the big lawn, the Rocky Ridge hike, the short walk to town (aka ice cream and the playground!) and all of the board games provided. The house is beautiful and well stocked. All instructions and communication was easy and the internet (hard to come by in Seldovia) was amazing. Very comfortable. Short boat ride to some truly amazing fishing! We will be back! Thanks Nick and Jess!

We have told everyone we know about this stay. We had family visiting from out of state and this was the highlight of their entire trip. Beautiful, quiet, relaxing, well managed, and so peaceful.
