Your hosts, Matt and KellyAnn, here! We met in San Diego and have always been drawn to saltwater. We left in the exploration of more things wild: mountains to climb, waters to kayak, trails to run, perspectives to encounter. We spent 3 years on the road, living out of our car and exploring North America’s public lands and communities, stumbling upon spaces, places, and people who inspired us and ultimately sharpened the pencil that created Salted Roots. Seward won our hearts, with mountains, the ocean, and a national park right in our backyard. Alaska is wild - wild enough for us vagabonds to settle down roots… and then naturally the idea for Salted Roots sprouted. We bought the land in 2017, were married there shortly after, and began throwing together our future plans for the project with close friends. Our community helped us clear the land, build our website and make our vision a reality.

The Chalet is located on the foothills of Hatcher Pass, with spectacular views of the Chugach Range, Knik Glacier, and the Mat-Su Valley. It features a 2300 square foot banquet hall with 25-foot-high cathedral ceiling, large windows, and a welcoming layout for up to 150 guests indoors, and two large outdoor spaces for larger events.
