About Chena Hot Springs
Hills
Chena Hot Springs Hills, located between Chena Hot Springs Road and the Chena River corridor, is a rural and recreation-oriented Steele Creek neighborhood with forested ridgelines and wide-open skies. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the pullout and trailhead area near Chena Hot Springs Road by the Chena River State Recreation Area signage, where parked rigs, maps, and muddy boots set the tone. Homes and cabins lean practical—metal roofs, big garages, and long driveways built for snow and gear. Daily rhythms track with trail conditions, aurora forecasts, and hot-springs day trips. Winter brings a quiet, lantern-lit feel; summer stretches into late-evening hikes and river time.

Location doesn’t get any better than this! This beautiful home with a true Alaskan feel is just outside of town with privacy yet only minutes to town. Rustic and charming with its cedar siding and chalet roof lines, it sits on almost an acre in a quiet cul-de-sac. Inside you’ll find the living area spacious and bright with vaulted ceilings and giant windows perfectly displaying the city and mountain views. The Blazing King wood stove adds ambiance to the cozy space in our colder winter months. The kitchen features hickory cabinets, solid surface counter tops, stainless appliances and a great work space for the chef in the family. A master suite includes a walk-in closet and updated bathroom including beautifully tiled floors. Downstairs has been converted to a mother-in-law area complete with bedroom, living area, kitchenette and bathroom. This space could easily be converted back to additional bedrooms if needed. There is both internal and external access to the space. This home has gone through significant updates over the past few years to include kitchen & bath remodel, new boiler and septic system, a new roof, all new Alaska Windows in 2016, a new deck 2016, and the addition of the MIL in 2016. Outside the yard and driveway have been redone and wait until you see what’s in the back yard! The most amazing tree house EVER! This is truly a rare find!
