Meet the Fosters

Jack and Carey Foster

Jack & Carey were raised in Alaska when their parents moved from California to homestead in the 1950's. They raised 3 children there and now enjoy 9 wonderful grandchildren.

They operated a successful construction business until 2020 when they retired. Property development is Jack's specialty; he is a visionary, and Carey is a "rockhound" so it seemed natural to create this oasis on their property for themselves and others to enjoy.

The waterfall is the largest private one in the state and the waterwheel creates the sound of flowing water that is restful and gives the feeling of being on vacation.

Jack & Carey sincerely want this property to bless others and enhance their special event.
