Mother in law apartment on ground floor of chalet home in need of tidy, responsible caretaker January 24 - February 24, 2023. No pets, but a dozen large houseplants to care for on the main floor of chalet. Home has central gas heat, but experience with a wood stove is desirable if supplemental heat were needed during a power outage. Must be fit enough to manage stairs, bring in firewood and to shovel snow. The primary responsibility will be to remove a berm that is blocking the driveway that I'll need to access when I return mid February. A parking place has been plowed. On three wooded acres overlooking the Chugach mountains, the Knik glacier & Fingerlake. The studio apartment is a peaceful, cozy winter home with a comfortable queen bed, a full kitchen, and bathroom with tiled shower. Just six miles to the charming little town of Palmer, half an hour's drive from Anchorage, and half an hour's drive to the top of Hatchers Pass in the Talkeetna Mountains. There are numerous cross country ski trails nearby and when the snow is just right, snow shoeing or cross country skiing on Fingerlake is accessible from the state park that's almost next door.A lynx and at least one moose visit the property during the winter. Northern lights are a treat when they dance overhead. Days can be anywhere from just freezing to below zero Sunny days are glorious and windy days are made for snuggling up with a good book. A car would be needed, as the nearest grocery store is two miles down the road.
