A Winter’s Tale: Dancing with Starfish at Miller’s Landing

In the frost-kissed embrace of Seward, Alaska, where the whispers of Resurrection Bay serenade the stoic Kenai Fjords, lies a place of whimsical wonder – Miller’s Landing. Here, amidst the dance of the aurora borealis, lies a seaside cabin that’s more than just a shelter; it’s a portal to a winter’s tale spun by the hands of Mother Nature herself.

The Seaside Serenade

The Seaside cabin graces the REI winter catalog

Imagine a cabin, not just any cabin, but a seaside sanctum where the walls echo with the tales of the ocean and the windows frame the artistry of winter’s brush. This is where you wake, cocooned in warmth, as the world outside dons its crystalline cloak. It’s a place where peace isn’t just felt; it’s inhaled with every breath of crisp, saline air.

Tidepooling: A Symphony in the Sand

As the tide recedes, it’s as if the ocean parts its curtains, inviting you to the day’s matinee. Armed with curiosity and bundled in layers, you and your little explorers step onto the stage of sand and stone. Here, in the shallow pools left behind, lies a microcosm of marine marvels. Each tidepool is a galaxy, with starfish as its constellations, anemones pulsating like celestial bodies, and hermit crabs scuttling across the cosmic sands. It’s a performance that enchants, educates, and reminds us that magic exists, not in the pages of fairytales, but right here, in the touch of a sea star’s arm.
